Low-carb has probably been around as long as Man as been around
("Look, I can see my abs again, Grok, since I've stopped eating so
many carrots and began eating more buffalo!"). And Banting's book (a
pamphlet, actually) was first published in 1863, so the French likely
got it from Banting. But who knows? More importantly, who cares?

Grok ate anything that wouldn't kill him quickly. But, you know, most
certainly, he preferred meat and especially fat when he could get it.
Even in vegetarian India, butter and ghee (clarified butter) are or at
least traditionally *very* highly regarded. The money lender would
provide a loan for a cow and take the butterfat along with the interest,
and there are all sorts of stories of Lord Krishna as a small child as a
charming little butter thief.

Nowadays, the Indian vegetarians are going for seed oils and high carbs.
