Last workshops for 2008
This spring I'll be giving introductory or advanced weight loss workshops in Sydney, Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane. To find out about these workshops or book your seat, click here.
Last month I gave my inaugural Advanced Workshop on Why Most Diets Fail and What to do About it in Melbourne.
The workshop was a lot of fun, and people said it helped to crystallize the specific things they needed to do in order to lose weight effectively.
"Hi Amanda, it was great to come to your workshop. I liked that it was a small group so that it was easier for everyone to share stories. One week later ... I have really been focusing on how hungry I feel and if I feel full. I haven't weighed myself again but I can feel in clothes that I have lost weight." Debbie
"It was great to hear others peoples issues and realise that most women go through the same thoughts, feelings, emotions and especially fears in regards to weight loss. I really walked away feeling like I could achieve the goals I had listed at the end of the session. I felt positive in regards to my weight loss rather than the usual negative feelings associated with it." Emine"What I liked most about this workshop was being in a small group of people who also have the knowledge and intelligence to realize what you are teaching is correct but still have problems putting it all into action. I realized that many people have similar issues and your 10 key stumbling blocks made the struggle I've been having so much clearer. The final pieces of my weight struggle fell into place. Now I know what I need to watch out for and I feel empowered to take control and put my weight issues to the back of my mind at last. I can relax and focus on the rest of my life." Merran Clark, Blackburn, Victoria
"This is the first weight-loss regime I have encountered where we are asked to listen to our body's needs and only eat to that standard, something that probably never occurred to most of us. Having all read your book meant we had a common basis for discussion. This is the first time in about 45 years of dieting that I have felt really positive about the process. In this time, I turned 70 in July and during much celebrating managed to keep 3 pounds off, rather than gaining 3 pounds which could easily have happened." Clare, Camberwell, Victoria.
I still have a few places remaining for my Sydney and Perth Advanced Workshops. If you'd like to join me in a session that will get you on track for spring, click here to book now.
What the experts say...
"Dr Amanda Sainsbury-Salis brings a touch of reality as well as a good healthy dose of scientific understanding to her approach to weight control. Not only is Amanda amongst the best scientists in the world in obesity research, but she has been through the problem herself and found that the standard recommendations don't necessarily work - particularly for women, who are much more complicated creatures than men. You'll find this a refreshing approach in an often very tired old field. I thoroughly recommend it."
