Wolfgang Lutz (* 1913 in Austria) is a Austrian physician and nourishing scientist.

Wolfgang Lutz was born as a son of a general physician. It studied medicine in Vienna and Innsbruck and habilitierte 1943 at the Viennese University of, faculty for internal medicine.

After that 2. World war worked he as internalist in Salzburg. As it reports lives without bread in its book "", it tightened itself with the years a whole set of health problems, among other things a a chronic Polyarthritis and exhaustion syndromes. With the conversion to a char-hydrate-poor with 6 per day (1 = 1 bread unit = approx. 12g of coal hydrates) it could heal the diseases or bring their progressing to the stop.

Wolfgang Lutz developed thereupon a general theory of the char-hydrate-poor which he published in different scientific publications and in summary in its book life without bread 1967.

Wolfgang Lutz is considered as a relevant founder of the scientific bases of the Low Carb nutrition. Differently than with other well-known representatives of this nourishing way as for instance stand for Robert Atkins with it:

• the general health effects,
• the internal-physical (hormoneal in particular) effects and
• the prevention and/or treatment of chronic illnesses

and not the weight reduction in the foreground.

After its view numerous chronic illnesses are caused by hormone shifts, usually released by to high insulin payments. It sketches in addition a hormoneal 2-components theory, with which the endokrine system of humans always around a reconciliation between anabolen (developing) and katabolen (diminishing) hormones is endeavored. Insulin is in accordance with this theory a anaboles hormone, which leads with excessive payment depending upon metabolic type to a weaker payment of other anaboler hormones and/or a stronger payment of other kataboler hormones. In accordance with Wolfgang Lutz is for weight off and - primarily the hormone situation in the body responsible to increase and only in second line the difference between taken up and used up calories.

He sees a voucher for its statements furthermore in anthropologischen discoveries, which suggest that humans verzehrt meat predominantly during a very long period as hunter and collecting tank have and that coal hydrates with the Neolithi revolution before approx. 5,000 years considerable entrance into the human to have only found. Wolfgang Lutz assumes that numerous humans are not yet sufficiently genetically adapted to the changed nourishing habits.

Wolfgang Lutz applied his theories on itself, its family and to more than 10,000 patients during its practice. It treated with it numerous chronic illnesses, among other things:

• Disease Crohn
• Colitis ulcerosa
• Stomach illnesses
• Charge
• Metabolic syndrome
• Epilepsy
• Multiple Sklerose

Wolfgang Lutz submits those in its publications statistics over the development of critical blood values of his patients, suggest that critical blood values under its very fat-rich do not worsen but improve partially clearly. In particular it states on basis of the statistics that the Cholesterin and urine acid mirror under its usually improve much Cholesterin and protein realms In its book "life without bread" it lists partially patient data, which cover one period of some years. It makes thereby a substantial contribution for the proof of the long-term security of carbohydrate-poor parliamentary allowance.

The DCCV (German disease Crohn/Colitis ulcerosa combination - DCCV - registered association) accomplished 1996 under the direction of Professor H. Lorenz Meyer and Professor P. farmer with the Lutz the Crohn V study, which confirmed its statements in far parts despite methodical deviations.

Wolfgang Lutz treated thousands patients with its however always remained thereby the school medical profession. Supporting medicines and in cases offering no prospects themselves operations belonged - if necessarily - likewise for its working methods.

Special attention dedicates he possible complications with existing autoimmune illnesses in the framework to a restriction of coal hydrate. Here it recommends a slow reduction of the daily taken up coal hydrate quantity apart from immune-absorbing medicamentous measures. Its urgent recommendation is that when very heavy and advanced illnesses a radical restriction of coal hydrate should take place only with medical
