shatalova is best known for her natural health improvement system , which incorporates a very low calory diet .
in 1960 she began developing her system of natural health improvement .
to prove her theories she and her patients undertook a 311-mile -lrb- 500 km -rrb- hike through the desert in 1990 .
her book `` vybor puti '' -lrb- the choice of the way -rrb- , published in 1996 , describes her system .
one of the theories she attempts to debunk is that people require about 1200 to 1700 kcal per day .
these figures date back to statistical research done in germany at the end of the 19th century ; she claims that the requirements are in fact around 250 to 400 kcal , assuming a natural rather than processed diet .
