so when did the ketogenic diet actually start  now in the 1920s they used the ketogenic diet for  

epilepsy but epilepsy was also treated with  ketones i think unknowingly back in 500 bc  

because they found if you restricted the diet  and you just didn’t feed patients with epilepsy  

their epilepsy would go away and then there’s  doctors in the 20s which found that you could  

mimic fasting by restricting carbohydrates  okay so because of ketones obviously but  

in the late 1800s before that there was a  man by the name of william banting who was  

pretty wealthy and he was overweight and he  discovered that if you restrict carbohydrates  

you can lose weight and so he wrote this  little booklet called the letter of corpulence  

corpulence means the state of being  obese or fat okay this was back in 1863  

and he wanted to get the word out so he basically  gave this book out for free until it became a best  

seller and he started to charge for it just to  cover his expenses but in this book he talked  

about getting rid of breads sugar potatoes and  eating meat vegetables fish eating mutton which is  

sheep over two years old and he recommended  eating kidneys as an organ meat which is  

actually very very healthy but of course it  wasn’t perfect keto because his diet also  

consisted of a little bit of biscuit one ounce of  toast some small amount of fruit and some alcohol  

but overall it was a major move in the direction  of doing a low-carb diet and this is why it worked  

now in 1922 another banting dr frederick banting  no relationship to william banting used insulin  

for diabetes he was actually the co-inventor  of insulin and even received the nobel prize  

in medicine and this finally allowed diabetics to  eat what they wanted and control their insulin now  

before insulin was used in diabetics they actually  used a low carb diet it was actually called the  

allen diet from dr frederick allen which limited  carbohydrates and even putting certain patients on  

a very restricted calorie diet like 400 calories  per day which is pretty extreme and of course  

introduction of insulin and then also medications  for diabetes pretty much made the low-carb diet  

disappear for a while until dr atkins came in and  promoted a low-carb diet and then of course now  

ketogenic low-carb diet is the most popular diet  in existence right now helping millions of people
