the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet

with the plethora of diet books available, this one stands head and shoulders above the masses. Not because of a quirky title, or celebrity authors .... but because of the well researched, sensible approach to a lifestyle change. Accolades to the Australians ...

My partner and I tried this diet shortly after moving to Australia. The mealplan is fairly easy to follow and we were able to find weekly shopping lists online which made it even more convenient. We liked some recipies so much, we continue to use them in our regular diet. I lost 34 lbs in the 12 weeks we were on the meal plan. The portions are usually quite filling. After a couple weeks off, we decided to try Book 2. Due to my disability, I wasn't able to do the exercise program that is included in that book, but I've had similar results in weight loss.

Two doctors join forces to provide a high protein, low fat diet plan pairing medical insights with easy recipes. Many diets are complicated matters: not so the 'Total Wellbeing Diet': it's very simple and tells how to get the weight off, keep it off, and diet without complications. Diane C.

This is the only diet that has ever worked for me. I love vegetarian food, but would never feel satisfied. I have finally accepted the fact that I need protein, and meat protein to feel full and satisfied. This diet is perfect for me, and I think a lot of people. I followed it for 3 months (not totally strict either) and lost 20lbs. I am a mother of 2 young children and hated spending all my time thinking about meals, what I was going to cook for the girls, my Partner and myself. I was thrilled to see 12 weeks of menus set out for me so I didn't have to worry about what to cook again. It takes all the stress out of whether you are eating right and also portion sizes. I have adjusted a few recipes to suit my budget as I can't afford the expensive cuts of meat or fish. I know food in Australia is a lot cheaper especially the seafood. But with cheaper fish and maybe a steak rather than fillet steak, you can still have wonderful meals.

I LOVE THIS BOOK! I HAVE TRIED EVERY DIET THERE IS AND THIS IS THE FIRST ONE THAT IS TOTALLY BALANCED, HAS GREAT TASTNG FOOD AND MY HUSBAND AND CHILDREN CAN EAT THIS FOOD AS WELL. THE MENUS ARE GREAT AND I LOVE THE GROCERY LIST, I'M ORDERING 4 MORE COPIES, WE'VE USED THE FIRST BOOK SO MUCH IT'S FALLING APART! THREE OF THE FOUR NEW BOOKS I'M GETTING AS GIFTS FOR FAMILY. THANK YOU FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL BOOK! I DON'T SEE THIS AS A DIET, BUT RATHER EATING HEALTHY.
