CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet Reviews 

For the meal replacement drinks. Admittedly the first whey product i have ever tried but I found it very unpalatable. 5 STARS for the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet/Eating Plan. Shopping lists, meal plans, exercise, trackers. It comes with everything, no thinking necessary.

Their auto renewal process is predatory. Put a reminder in your calendar to cancel - they’re going to spam your inbox and hide behind “we told you when you signed up” and “we put it in every email” when you say you weren’t notified of the auto renewal date. The auto renewal email came in amongst marketing materials with the title “the more you use, the more you lose”… who would know that’s an auto renewal? I have reported their practice to the ACCC so hopefully they will make it more clear closer to renewal and save others from being in the same predicament I am.

Further to their reply below.

The first time I saw my invoice is when they provided it to me to defend their dodgy business practices.

Their every email defence is in font an 8th of the size of the rest of the email at the bottom of a full marketing newsletter.

Yes they tell you on sign up, yes it is in their T&Cs - but receiving the notice 30 days before, it is going to be nested in an obscurely named email below a whole bunch of marketing materials. So if you are counting on being notified - you better read every single email clearly. For reference, in 29 weeks I’ve received 40 emails from them.

Transparent and defensible business practice would be a notice that you’re about to be auto renewed, not popping it at the bottom of another random email.

The TWD after a complaint to Fair Trading did refund the auto renewal fee, so I would encourage anyone else who falls victim to this predatory behaviour does the same.

This program provides a really solid understanding of what to eat to maintain a balanced diet while working toward weight loss. It includes a variety of meal plans and recipes that make it easy to get started quickly and build early momentum.

After about six weeks, I found myself naturally making smarter food choices without feeling restricted or constantly hungry. Over roughly five months, I lost 16 kg while still allowing myself some flexibility—I stayed consistent most of the week but still enjoyed eating out and having drinks occasionally. Overall, a very practical and sustainable approach

Was mislead or misinformed about what this diet was or what was included. There is no cooling off period so suggest you spend extra time reading what going to be involved before committing to this recurring subscription.

CSIRO a well established science deploying organization has developed a diet founded, no doubt, on research and based on outcomes for more than health, but well being.

Very misleading in automated renewals. Notifications are hidden in emails concerning different topics and not based solely on the renewal of memberships and how much they actually cost. Be careful and make sure you are aware of managing your membership. Refunds are extremely hard to obtain or non existent. Terrible
The meal plans are not designed for vegans or vegetarians so this makes the diet plan hard to follow.

Total wellbeing diet was easy to follow and contained so many delicious healthy recipes.
I would recommend it to anyone who wants to lose weight and adopt a healthier lifestyle.

The plan is easy to follow and very effective. I lost 10kg on the plan and have been able to maintain my weight loss. My health has improved. I highly recommend this for others. Its brilliant!

It is the first time in a long while that I have actually lost weight and seem to be able to maintain it. Certainly changed the way I look at food.

The program is easy to follow! The app is great, tracked my meals and progress which then helped me be accountable for my overall health journey. The plan has set me up to take charge of my overall health journey.

I was automatically charged 12 month subscription fee on the same day I requested cancellation. I emailed support and they advised no refund possible.
The meals dont work for a family and the main meal choices are not varied. Cant speak with anyone physically. Make sure you cancel your subscription the day after you commence.

The information especially the correct amounts to eat and the variety of food. Having used any diets over the years. This one has taught me to keep my weight off

Highly effective and easy to stick to, the CSIRO Diet provided clear guidance, great recipes, and real results

I love the program for the menu plans and choices however I did not follow it properly. I do believe it works.

Easy to follow, enjoyable food and very convenient and practical.

It is a good program. Easy to use

I am very happy with the 7kgs I have lost. The program was easy to follow and the recipe’s were great, I have my favourites 😊 which I am constantly going back to.

I have struggled with my weight for the last few years. I’ve tried all the diets nothing worked or they were difficult to follow, used food that was not financially viable or easy to find. The I found CSIRO and they talked about their Total Wellbeing Diet stating they had great food, easy to follow, never feeling hungry, and having meal replacement shakes. The reviews were extremely positive with people losing weight after a few months. Me being me I’m like yeah right bull crap you are hahah. So I gave it ago with this attitude lol. Well how wrong was I - I’ve now got egg on my face. I did the quiz and did fast track with the meal replacement shakes and LOST 10kg. And it has stayed off. The best bit - keeping track of your food intake SO EASY weighting in, once a week keeps you countable. So do I recommend CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet- HELL YES 👍

Great recipes - easy to make & delicious. Tracker helped tremendously to keep you going. Good articles to help with motivation. Loved the shopping list.
