Swedish game designer Markus “Notch” Persson became famous and made a fortune with his game Minecraft. Now it seems he’s having great success on low carb. And with almost 1 million (!) followers on Twitter he could inspire a legion of hackers to change their lifestyle.

Tweet 1 (five weeks ago):

I’m on this low carb diet thing, and it seems to be working, but food is kinda bland. Then I discovered spinach soup with salmon. OH GOD YES

Tweet 2:

I weighed in this morning, and was super close to my first milestone. And the diet is turning into a lifestyle, my cravings are gone!! :D

Congratulations Notch!
