About this app

William Banting was the original once and forever weight loss patient, in the years 1862/63, after a 20-30 year struggle, William lost 23 kgs / 50 lbs excess weight, and 13 inches / 33cm from his waistline (belly button measurement), and he never had a weight problem ever again for the rest of his life.

William lost his excess weight and waistline before Calories, Kilojoules and BMI (Body Mass Index) were ever used as nutrition and health guages like they are today.

William Banting is my 4 Greats Grandfather, and I too had a similar struggle with my own excess weight, in 2018, having weighed a little over 100 kgs / 220 lbs, I set out to figure out how William lost his excess weight once and forever, it took me 12 months to figure it out, and I learned so many great weight loss strategies that were hiding in plain sight, not only in William's letters, but also in books written by members of the medical community in the late 1800's and early 1900's, including the doctor known as the father of modern medicine, Sir William Osler, author of The Principles and Practice of Medicine textbook, Banting was the first recommended treatment for Obesity by Dr Osler in the first 9 editions of his textbook.

Back then, Banting was the word used around the world to reduce a person's excess weight and waistline through dietary intake control, and now I'm bringing it back using a new weight / waist loss term called Banting Balance, Banting Balance is a 'slower than keto' weight loss speed that was key to William's once and forever weight loss.

With the Banting.com once and forever weight loss tracking app, I'm tying in how William tracked his weight and waistline reduction with a new, easy to understand and implement health marker called Waist to Height (WtH), Waist to Height is an alternative to Body Mass Index (BMI), which can be confusing and misleading for so many people.

The simple calculation for Waist to Height (WtH) is to have your waistline (belly button measurement) less than half your height, that would be a 50% WtH, and the healthy range to live is between 40 and 50% Waist to Height (WtH), that's once and forever weight loss, I've been living there now since 2019, as a result of the brilliant foundation William Banting layed so many years ago, with Banting Balance.

The Banting.com app is so simple to use, once you've created your account, it starts with you entering your height in either cm or inches, then anytime you want to record a weight and/or waistline measurement to see what your Waist to Height % (WtH) is, the app automatically calculates it for you, displaying your WtH at the bottom of the home screen, inside either a green or red rectangle, green is when you're between 40-50% WtH, and red when you're above 50% WtH.

There are free education resources available through both my Improvement After Movement website and Instagram account, to access them, simply google Improvement After Movement, my goal is make once and forever weight loss easier to access, no matter how many years you've been trying, for both William and myself, it was between 20 and 30 years.
