CSIRO Total Wellbeing diet offers high-protein, low-fat while moderate in carbohydrates for effective weight loss and maintenance diet created by Australia's National Science Agency.
CSIRO stands for Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization.
It is a structured, calorie-controlled and balanced diet that composes of great amounts of lean protein, fish and poultry.
The Diet or TWD was a masterpiece of Clinical Research Unit in Adelaide, South Australia conducted as an answer to increasing demands from dieticians regarding the popular high-protein diets.
In their previous researches, CSIRO proved that a diet that is high in protein and low in fat is as effective as a diet that is high in carbohydrate and low in fat.
The research headed by Dr.
Manny Noakes designed the Diet for Obese women.
The exercise and nutrition physiologist of the team, Dr.
Grant Brinkworth helped Dr.
Noakes to come up with a diet after eight years of laborious researches.
During their study, they found that a diet that is high in protein and low in fat is beneficial to health in many ways.

Reduced risks in developing diabetes and heart diseases In fact, the studies further revealed that the Diet is superior to one that is high in carbohydrate and low in fat with similar calorie consumption among women.
A booklet published by Meat and Livestock Australia led to the Wellbeing Diet's publication in a women's magazine.
The publisher of the magazine commissioned Dr.
Noakes and Dr.
Peter Clifton to publish a book.
The result was The CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet.
Dr.
