Lose weight and keep it off for life

A science-based program designed for Australians

Since the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet was first launched, scientists have been studying the habits of thousands of members at different stages of their weight loss journey. This ongoing research has helped the diet and program evolve to ensure the online tools support members in not only achieving the greatest weight loss but also in keeping the weight off long term.

Long-term weight loss study results

CSIRO recently analysed the long-term weight loss results of CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet members. The data showed that on average members who complete the 12 Week Program lose 7.2% after 12 weeks, 9% after 6 months and then maintain their weight loss for the remainder of the year.

This study revealed the importance of tracking, self-monitoring and ongoing education. Members who lost 10% or more of their body weight in their first year used the online tools and features more often — they viewed the menu plan, used the food diary and tracked their weight more regularly — than members who lost less than 5%.

Our “super star” members (those who engaged with the tools and features the most) continued to lose weight for a full year, with an average total weight loss of 22.3kg or 21.7% after 1 year. ⓘ

Start Strong with the 12 Week Program

The 12 Week Program draws on CSIRO research which showed, putting maximum effort into the first three weeks of a diet — by engaging with the right weight loss support tools — achieved better early and longer-term weight loss results.  

During the 12 Week Program you will gain access to delicious meal plans, week-by-week guidance, and Group Coaching, so you can learn the philosophy and get the most from the weight loss tools. Your personal AI-inspired weight loss coach, called Hope, will help you set a weight loss goal and keep you motivated along the way so you can reach your goal.  

For members with specific health conditions, we have bespoke programs for type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and joint pain available as part of the 12 Week Program at no extra charge.

People who struggle with cravings can benefit from our Fast Start Program which includes meal replacements. If you’re looking for extra one-on-one support, our Premium Program includes the 12 Week Program plus three health coaching sessions and the CSIRO Complete Recipe Collection cookbook.
