CSIRO Study Uncovers The Secret To Long Term Weight Loss Success: CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, has revealed that regular self-monitoring behaviours and tracking tools are the secret to losing weight – and keeping it off.
The study initially mapped the total weight loss of 6602 CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet members that had completed the 12-week program. It found 64 per cent lost a clinically significant amount (>five kilograms) of weight at one year, with a sustained average weight loss of 10.6kg, or 11.9 per cent of their starting body weight.
CSIRO research scientist Dr Gilly Hendrie said using tools and support frameworks to educate around diet and nutrition was critical for ongoing societal health and lifestyle improvements, especially given that 67 per cent of Australians are currently overweight or obese.

Fully Funded Drone Training For Farmers: Following the hugely successful training days in the region, the team are coming back again in May. If you own a farm or work in agriculture, you should be eligible for an AgSkilled fully-funded place to attend this course. The course aims to develop knowledge and skills in:
• Safe and efficient operation of drones in an agricultural context
• Australian laws related to the use of Remote Pilot Aircraft’s (RPA) for private use
• Collecting and processing data for use in creating a crop planting map or precision fertiliser program.
The course will be held in Tomingley on 8th May and in Parkes on 9th May. For more information contact Sharon Leach on 6951 2695 or email enquiries to: sharon.leach@dpi.nsw.gov.au
