Tanya Zilberter holds a PhD in physiology (health sciences) since 1972. She's authored several scientific and popular publications, including four academic and popular print books including the 101 Low Carb Diet Tips and dozens of eBooks.
Tanya's scientific studies started with research into the brain's control of appetite, hunger, and energy management. Tanya wrote popular diet and nutrition articles for
several major Internet websites, and in 2002, developed a new diet and fitness program, the Banta Diet, tested on 1,300+ participants with
92% success rate. The BantaDiet.com is now online and free for all.
Dr Zilberter currently associates with the Mediterranean Institute of Neurobiology, Marseilles, where she participates in the project concerning the system approach to major neurodegenerative diseases including nutritional input and insulin sensitivity role.
Tanya's interests in general health problems resulted in research into alternative medicine modalities, e.g. natural medicine and complementary medicine. She sat on the board of directors (chair of research department) of the Community Holistic Health Center, Hillsbourough, NC and worked online for the advisory board of the Association for Integrative Medicine. Results of Tanya's research into the reflexo-therapy were reported to the nation-wide Integrative Medicine meeting at the Omega Institute, NY.

Philosophy
My favourite quote is “Don’t sweat the small stuff -- and it’s all small stuff,” wich is the title of a book by Richard Carlson. The meaning of the quote can be, perhaps explain by his another book’s title “You Can Be Happy No Matter What: Five Principles for Keeping Life in Perspective.”
