New Total Wellbeing Diet plus low GI carbs online program.
The Glycemic Index Foundation has joined forces with CSIRO in an
enhanced version of the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet. We are seeking up to
5000 Australians between the ages of 18 and 74 to take part in a
three-month trial of the online program, which will enable us to better
understand the needs of today's digital dieters. “This new and improved
Total Wellbeing Diet takes the glycemic index seriously, building on
research undertaken by CSIRO and Glycemic Index Foundation (GIF). It
gives you a proven diet for long-term, sustainable weight control and
well-being,” says Professor Jennie Brand-Miller.
