Csiro Low Carb Diet Success Stories
Two in three adults are overweight or obese in Australia - and Professor Grant Brinkworth from CSIRO has the science to back it up.
But curbing the effects of obesity is as simple as changing your diet - with a low-carb approach dramatically reducing the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

"For many years, we've had the high-carbohydrate, low-fat approach - and research shows it's only offering people moderate benefits," Brinkworth said.

"The research continues to evolve, and it shows that eating a dietary pattern that's lower in carbohydrates and higher in protein and healthy fats is an effective way to sustain long-term weight loss and improve your blood glucose control and heart health."
Who the diet works for
"It's a dietary pattern that's still nutritionally complete, so it still has an adequate amount of vitamins, minerals and fibre, and can be used by a variety of people," Brinkworth said.
"But it is an energy-controlled plan, so for people that are trying to lose weight, and in particular people with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome, it can be particularly effective because of the enhanced improvements with blood glucose control.
"The CSIRO low-carb books do recommend you do it in conjunction with exercise because that's just as important for weight management and health outcomes.
"The research shows that if you combine a low-carb diet with resistance exercises in particular, it's really effective for sustaining long-term weight loss.
"Resistance on the muscles will help to maintain muscle mass and a higher metabolic rate, which makes it easier to maintain a healthy body weight long-term.
"The exercises only have to be around a moderate intensity - and roughly 30 to 60 minutes a day is recommended."
Based on evidence
"The CSIRO is only going to put out lifestyle plans that are evidence-based," Brinkworth said.
"It's using the latest scientific evidence to bring solutions to the Australian people that are actually going to work - and we've got evidence to prove that."
