Banting is a term that originated from the name of William Banting, a 19th-century English undertaker who popularized a low-carbohydrate diet for weight loss. The Banting diet, also known as the low-carb or ketogenic diet, focuses on consuming foods that are high in fat and protein while limiting carbohydrate intake. This approach is believed to help the body burn fat for energy instead of carbohydrates, leading to weight loss. The Banting diet has gained popularity in recent years as an effective way to lose weight and improve overall health.
