I have the CSIRO Diet book and other than choosing to eat more turkey  and lentils than red meat and not considering processed meat like ham should be recommended on any healthy eating plan due to the nitrates in the processed meats that have been linked to bowel cancer, I believe this is a easy to modify to your own personal taste, fairly healthy diet.  It is not a great bone health diet unless you swap some of the meat content for vegetable protein.

Overview
This is a high-protein, low-fat, moderate-carbohydrate diet. It recommends beef, lamb or veal four times a week for dinner, plus fish and chicken or pork. It also recommends that 40% of your kilojoules come from carbohydrates. You're encouraged to follow the daily menu plans to familiarise yourself with how to break up the food groups. The daily food allowance is divided into:

  • 200g of lean protein for dinner (beef, lamb or veal four times a week, chicken or pork once and fish twice) and another 100g for lunch
  • two serves of carbohydrate (i.e. two slices of wholegrain bread or one cup of cooked pasta) plus one bowl of high-fibre cereal
  • three serves of dairy (i.e. 500ml of low-fat milk + 200g low-fat or diet yoghurt)
  • two serves of fruit and at least 2.5 serves of selected vegetables
  • three serves of fats and oils (i.e 1 tsp oil or 2 tsp light margarine), and two serves of 'indulgence foods (such as 150 mL wine or 20g chocolate) per week.
One hundred and fifty minutes of exercise is recommended per week. Once you reach your desired weight, you can add kilojoules by experimenting with 500 kilojoule (120 calories) lots to work out the best energy intake for you to be able to maintain your ideal weight.

Sample Menu
Breakfast: high-fibre cereal, low-fat milk and fruit.

Lunch: turkey and salad sandwich with low-fat cheese.

Dinner: lamb patties, steamed zucchini and squash, tinned fruit, low-fat dairy dessert.

Expert opinion
The good news is that this diet incorporates all the major food groups, is low in fat, promotes lots of vegetables, and encourages home cooking. It is based on scientific research which showed it is as effective as a higher-carbohydrate, low-fat diet in bringing about weight loss. The recommendation that a higher volume of fibre is incorporated as part of this regime is good advice because a diet high in fibre, even if accompanied with a diet high in meat, is kinder on the bowel than a high-protein, low-fibre diet. However the red meat intake is above the recommendations for health. It also doesn't suit vegetarians.

    Please Note
    I do not recommend any diet.
    I also totally condemn detox diets as DANGEROUS.
    I suggest seeking the advice of a Certified Practicing Dietician
    (not a nutritionist selling diet products) nor any 'diet' book.
