"On New Year's Eve 2006 we made a pact to follow the principles of the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet and let it guide the way we ate.

Praise for The CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet Recipe Book

Since its launch in 2006, the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet cookbook has sold more than a million copies - at one point outstripping Harry Potter at the top of the best-seller list. The publishing phenomenon has been praised for singlehandedly helping lift beef consumption across Australia, based on its high-protein, low-carb philosophy. The latest revised version of the book, featuring a bunch of new recipes covering everything from breakfasts to barbecue dinners, is out now through Penguin, retailing for $35. Let's hope it continues to influence the cooking and eating habits of a whole new generation of Australian consumers.
