Australian Diet

According to Peter Clifton and Manny Noakes at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) Australian diet provides your body with great source of energy and helps you avoid fat consumption.

This diet includes ideal nutritional combination which can help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight. It consists of thirty-three percent proteins, thirty-six percent carbohydrates, twenty-six percent fats, most of them saturated, and small amounts of alcohol.

You are able to create your own diet menu if you follow the recommendations given by CSIRO:

You can also replace the daily consumption of two units of two ounces of whole-grain bread by a five ounces potato, one ounce of rice or vegetables, or two ounces of pasta.

Every day you need to eat one unit of cereals per day, for example two ounces of muesli, one toast, or other whole-grains. The Australian diet menu should also involve two units of dairy products, but you may have three units if only two units of proteins were taken during the day. For instance, you can consume 0.06 gallons of non-fat milk, seven ounces of yogurt or fat-free pudding, 0.88 ounces of low-fat cheese, or nearly two ounces of non-fat cheeses.

The daily amount of fruits should comprise two units, five ounces of fruits, or one glass of unsweetened juice. You also need to eat at least 2.5 units of vegetables of five ounces each, and three units of spices a day. The total daily calorie intake should be about 1350 calories.
