What is the Total Wellbeing Diet

The Total Wellbeing Diet is described as a higher protein/moderate carbohydrate/low fat eating plan. Compared to a more conventional healthy eating or weight loss plan it recommends more protein and smaller amounts of carbohydrate (preferably low GI types such as whole grains, pulses and fruit).

Their rationale behind having a higher protein content is threefold:

• Protein-rich foods such as lean meat, chicken, fish, eggs and dairy foods provide you with many important nutrients including protein, iron, zinc, omega-3 fats and B vitamins
• Protein-rich foods help you stay satisfied for longer and help keep hunger pangs at bay
• Protein-rich foods (choose lean meat, skinless chicken and low fat dairy foods) help to control your blood fats such as triglycerides and LDL (bad) cholesterol. High levels of either are linked to increased risk of coronary heart disease.

The diet is carefully calorie and portion controlled, and is not suggesting that you lose weight for any other reason than a calorie reduction. However based on the CSIRO’s research, it does suggest that the higher protein content means the diet may be heart healthier and potentially easier to follow for longer (compared to the high carbohydrate, low fat diet they compared it to). It may also help women (but not men) with a high level of triglycerides in their blood, lose more body fat from around their middle (excess weight here puts you more at risk of developing type 2 diabetes or heart health problems). So it may suit some better than others.
