Best Selling Diet Is Back
The latest instalment of the biggest selling diet in Australian history is here.
Following on from the phenomenal success of The CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet, comes Book 2. This companion volume contains over 80 delicious new recipes to keep you on track with your new healthy eating habits, as well as advice on eating out, taking your lunch to work and an exercise program.
The second volume also answers questions raised by the initial book's success, including how appropriate the diet is for certain people and whether certain foods can be substituted to accommodate personal taste.
The first CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet book has sold more than 800,000 copies since it first came out in May 2005 and has been published in 17 languages.
The diet is a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. Unlike fad high-protein diets, the CSIRO plan is nutritionally balanced and contains moderate amounts of slow-release carbohydrates, essential for energy and keeping blood sugar levels stable.
The CSIRO says you won't just lose weight by following the diet. Your cholesterol, blood sugar levels and blood pressure will all come down.
Federal Science Minister Julie Bishop is supportive and appreciative of her two best-selling staffers, the authors Dr Manny Noakes and Dr Peter Clifton.
"I hope that the book will continue to raise awareness and help fight the level of obesity that we currently have in this country," Bishop says.
And the timing of the book couldn't be better with a report out this week showing that obesity cost Australians $21 billion last year — double the cost of Medicare.
The CSIRO total wellbeing diet - Book 2 by Dr Manny Noakes with Dr Peter Clifton, is available in all good bookstores from Monday, 30 October. RRP $34.95
