Our CSIRO-backed meal replacement shakes are created with high-quality ingredients that provide a balanced combination of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals to ensure your nutritional goals are met. The meal replacement shakes are high in fibre, gluten-free and contain no artificial colours, flavours, sweeteners or preservatives.
Our Deluxe Edition of the Fast Start 3 Week Starter Pack is the deliciously deluxe way to lose weight faster with the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet. The Deluxe Edition includes:
- Total of 42 Fast Start Shakes (meal replacements)
- 10 x Cookies & Cream shakes
- 10 x Butterscotch shakes
- 12 x Chocolate shakes
- 12 x Vanilla shakes
- Free Shaker bottle (colour and style may vary to the picture)
Our Fast Start Shakes are gluten free, however, they arenotdairy-free or vegan as they do contain milk and soy-based ingredients.
Our biggest point of difference is in the approach we take to making sure our members are:
- educated about nutrition.
- supported on their weight loss journey.
- able to transition off the meal replacement shakes and onto a varied whole foods diet.
Meal replacement shakes alone aren't a long-term solution to weight loss because most people will revert to their original diet once they stop having shakes. The Fast Start meal replacement shakes are combined with the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet, which is key for healthy weight loss and long-term behaviour change.
Members who buy Fast Start shakes will use these meal replacement shakes for breakfast and lunch, while eating a CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet dinner for three weeks. After this, they’ll transition to a complete CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet meal plan.
We ship with Australia Post and delivery times vary from state to state. For full information about delivery times, please view our shipping information page.
No, we do not offer exchanges on flavours in our starter packs.

Suitability for diabetes
In general, the Fast Start meal plan is not suitable if you have diabetes. However, everyone is different, and we encourage those with diabetes who are interested in the Fast Start meal plan to consult with their doctor first. If you have been cleared by your doctor to join the program, you can click here.
The standard TWD program includes a Diabetes-friendly meal plan for those with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. If you have type 1 diabetes, it is strongly recommended that you speak with your doctor prior to joining the program to see if the program is right for you. Find out more about the TWD program here.
Is Fast Start suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
The Fast Start meal plan is not suitable during pregnancy.
In general, the Fast Start meal plan is not suitable while breastfeeding, since a reduction in kilojoule intake can decrease milk supply. However, if you are interested in following the Fast Start meal plan, it is important to speak with your doctor first so they can provide personalised guidance.
Most people begin by replacing two meals per day (typically breakfast and lunch) with Fast Start shakes for the first three weeks, while enjoying a balanced CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet dinner and planned snacks.
After the initial three weeks, many people transition to the full CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet meal plan using whole foods.
Some people prefer a more gradual approach, such as continuing with one shake per day for longer, or using Fast Start shakes occasionally during the week for convenience or when they need extra structure.
Fast Start is designed to work alongside the program, giving you a simple way to reduce energy intake while still following a balanced, high-protein eating plan.
