Has anyone had success using the CSIRO diet?

It's the diet my trainer recommends.
A guy I worked with lost >30kg on it.
The biggest drawback for me is the expense - some of the ingredients are very pricey if you had to buy most of it.

Both DH and I have had success with CSIRO, losing about 1kg a week as long as we stuck with it. We haven't done it for a long time because we're vegetarian now (well I am, and I'm the cook, so that basically means DH is too!) and the recipes are so meat heavy it's easier for me to use WW meals if we want to lighten up. I'd recommend getting both cookbooks if you can, the recipes in the first one were quite expensive if you bought every single ingredient (as others have said) but they took that feedback on board and the second one has some cheaper meals and staples that weren't in the first (like pasta, which made me happy, life without pasta is hardly worth living in my books!) We didn't have a recipe we didn't like. Good luck!
