Seven camps, seven ways of eating, one set of scales that does not care which one you believe in

Seven diets. One winner.

DietWars is the Australian game show where teams live on rival eating plans for a full season, coached by qualified professionals, and settle it the only way anyone ever has: on the scales, week after week, in front of the country.

Every diet claims to be the one. DietWars puts seven of them in the same house, on the same scales, for the same twelve weeks, and lets the numbers argue.

01 / The premise

A fair fight between rival diets

Contestants are drafted into camps and each camp follows one eating plan for the whole season. Same coaching, same challenges, same scales. The only variable is what is on the plate.

02 / The duty of care

Welfare beats ratings, every time

Qualified health professionals sit in every corner. Results are measured as sensible percentage loss, not crash numbers, and anyone can step back at any point with no questions asked.

Twelve weeks, drawn to scale

The season is built like a tournament, not a montage. Every camp runs the same schedule, so when the scoreboard moves you can see exactly what moved it.

  • AThe draft: contestants assigned to a camp and its eating plan
  • BThe playbook: each camp coached on its plan, safely
  • CTwelve weigh-ins, scored as percentage of body weight
  • DChallenges and temptation tests for points and immunity
  • EThe grand final: last camp standing, and the individual title

Team Keto

Very low carb, high fat, chasing ketosis. The most disciplined squad on the field and the one most likely to shock the scoreboard in week one.

Team Fasting

It is about when you eat as much as what. A 16:8 or 5:2 window, an empty morning table, and a camp that lives by the clock.

Same argument, different arena

In the Pro Sports Edition nobody is put on a diet. We find squads of athletes already living on strict ones, run them through DEXA, VO2 max, power and strength testing, then send them out to six athletic challenges. Scored on performance, not on the scales.

Real people

Everyday Australians, drafted into camps, cooking their own food and living their own lives. No athletes, no ringers, no before-and-after fiction.

Professional support

Every camp is guided and monitored by qualified health professionals for the whole season. That is a condition of the format, not a disclaimer.

Honest scoring

Percentage of starting body weight, measured the same way for every camp, every week. Sensible and sustainable beats spectacular.

How scoring worksHow scoring works
04

Honest about diets

The show says the quiet part out loud: the best diet is the one you can actually keep. Sometimes the winning camp is not the one anyone expected.
