Thanks for all the replies regarding the confusion about the amount of diets out there. Has any one heard of the CSIRO diet, it started in Australia. It sounds sensible and looks good but I have a habit of trying the latest trends and failing this one has been around for a while I wondered if anyon has info on it. Thanks Julie

Thisn is what I found on the net about it, it's basically high protein/low fat which wouldn't suit me. I'm on Low fat but I can't tolerate a lot of protein


The Total Wellbeing Diet (or CSIRO) focuses on a high protein, low-fat diet to improve your health. This weight-loss plan was developed by the Clinical Research Unit in Adelaide, known for research in linking nutritional and genetic factors to diseases like bowel cancer and diabetes.

FOOD & RECIPE

While the CSIRO promotes a heavy consumption of red meat and lamb, dairy and some carbs, it is not to be confused with the Atkins Diet. CSIRO promotes a low-calorie and low-fat diet with plenty of vegetables and fruits, as well as substituting bread with lentils, beans and chickpeas.

The CSIRO diet suggests a daily regimen that includes three servings of cereal and bread (One ounce of cereal and two slices of whole grain bread), two servings of dairy including eight ounces of low-fat milk and seven ounces of light yogurt, two servings of fruit and two and a half cups of vegetables and three teaspoons of canola oil. Meat should be consumed twice a day - three and a half ounces for lunch and seven ounces for dinner. CSIRO even recommends that you enjoy two glasses of wine each week.

Some critics point out that the CSIRO diet offers too much protein and not enough whole grains.

EXERCISE

The revised edition of the CSIRO Diet book it supports a “a structured exercise plan.”

EXPENSE

The cost of the book.

PRO

Appears to support the consumption of rich delicious foods.

CON

Lack of an online component of support.

CONCLUSION

Appears to support the consumption of rich delicious foods. Is it too rich and delicious?

common misspellings: CSRO Diet, CSIRO Deit, CSRIO Diet
