 * Keep - Clean up the format, and source it. Here's an article on him from The Guardian. WorldCat does show one book he authored. Amazon has yet another book he authored. I think his books are generally not published in the United States, but I'm leaning towards Keep but reformat and source. — Maile  (talk) 22:00, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
 * German Wikipedia article on him is: Wolfgang Lutz (Arzt). I ran it through Google Translate: "Wolfgang Lutz studied medicine in Vienna and Innsbruck, and in 1943 habilitation at the University of Vienna. After the Second World War he worked as an internist in Salzburg. As he reports in his book Life Without Bread, he retired with the years a number of health problems, u. A. A hip osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and fatigue syndromes. According to him he could cure these ailments just by switching to a low carbohydrate diet with 6 bread units per day (about 72 grams of carbohydrates) or bring their progression to a halt. Lutz then developed a general theory which he published in various publications and in his book Life Without Bread 1967. Lutz received for his work awards from the Royal Society of Medicine, and in 2007 the freedom of the city of London Award and was honorary professor at the Metropolitan University of Dublin, Ireland [1]. He had five children and lived during the past decades with his 3rd wife Helen Paula in London and Graz. Wolfgang Lutz claimed that during his 40 years of practice time treated more than 10,000 patients with his diet and to have many chronic diseases cured it, among other Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, gastric disorders, gout, metabolic syndrome, epilepsy and multiple sclerosis." The German article also lists 5 published books. — Maile  (talk) 22:10, 17 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep - I have cleaned up some format of the article and also added some references the notability criteria should not be a problem as there are lots of references of Dr Wolfgang J Lutz's books and as — Maile said there's an article on him from The Guardian too so I believe the article should be kept.
