Our Choice for the Article of the Week
On William Banting's Diet, Taubes, and Anecdotal Weight Loss -- Leigh Peele
William Banting has been hailed in low-carb circles as one of the first preachers of the low-carb lifestyle. He did, after all, claim to have lost about 50 pounds on a low-carb meal plan. But was his diet really "low-carb"? Or was it really just low calorie? Leigh Peele looks at the math behind Banting's self-reported meal plan, ultimately using Banting's example to guide us toward smarter analysis of anecdotal evidence.
