A Treatise On Food & Dietetics

By F.W. Pavy

Published by William Wood & Company: New York 1881 2nd Edition

"Frederick William Pavy (29 May 1829 - 19 September 1911) was a British physician and physiologist and the discoverer of Pavy disease, a cyclic or recurrent physiologic albuminuria. Pavy studied carbohydrate metabolism and dietetic treatment for diabetes. In 1873, Pavy authored A Treatise on Food and Dietetics which recommended almonds and nuts as bread substitutes. Pavy promoted a low-carbohydrate diet to treat diabetes. His diet allowed all kinds of butcher's meat (except liver), cheese, eggs, fish and some green vegetables. All sugar was forbidden including all kinds of fruit, pasta and potatoes but he allowed spirits and wines that had not been sweetened. "
