He wrote a booklet called "Letter on Corpulence Addressed to the Public" which contained the particular plan for the diet he followed. The pamphlet's popularity was such that the question "do you bant?" referred to his method, and eventually to dieting in general. Although originating from English Verb Banting , this word is nowadays the Swedish verb meaning "to diet", ''bantning''. EXTERNAL LINKS |
