Created on the basis of the findings of several clinicaltrials, the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet is designed to provide a more nutritionally balanced alternative to a number of currently popular diets.

The diet is based on research showing that higher protein dietary patterns for weight management have metabolic advantages over high carbohydrate patterns in overweight people with insulin resistance. The research suggests that an increased level of satiety experienced after eating high-protein foods helps to control weight. Other observed benefits include better nutrition and a greater lowering of cardiovascular and Type-2 diabetes risk factors.
