Last month I was delighted to receive the following feedback from a young woman named Berni who attended my New Advanced Weight Loss Workshop in Sydney.Date: Sat, 4 April 2009 21:58:12
To: Dr Amanda Sainsbury-Salis
Subject: Advanced Weight Loss Workshop
Hi,
I attended you workshop in Sydney on Thursday night, and just wanted to thank you.
Your message and the way in which you present it are a breath of fresh air.
I felt I learnt more in that one session than I did in two years of nutrition studies.
I'm very much looking forward to getting back in touch with my body and getting off the diet rollercoaster forever!
I have written a post on my blog about The Don't Go Hungry Diet and your work: http://tinyurl.com/d9hdef.
Thanks again, I hope to write to you soon to share some success.
Keep doing what you are doing; you are changing people's lives, giving them back their power, their love for life and most importantly faith in themselves.
Thanks for sharing.
Berni
Thank you Berni for your encouraging feedback!

"Hi Amanda, Thank you for replying to my email. I thought I would just give you my two week update of experiences as you mentioned. It has been a great couple of weeks. I have felt positive, lighter, and more healthy. I have also noticed that I have not felt deprived of anything and not had cravings for huge amounts of foods like chocolate or sugary cakes. I have even had a couple of squares of chocolate that is in my cupboard without feeling the need to eat the whole block - a major achievement in itself. I have also found it much easier to excercise each day than I expected - going to the gym or walking and managing at least the 10 000 steps a day without too much effort. I do still wonder how it will all be once the enthusiasm of the initial time wears off - but I somehow feel this is all achieveable as an ongoing thing. The diary is an excellent tool and keeps me focused. I have learned that I previously ate even good food until I was really full, not thinking about how much I was eating at a meal. I have found that I need smaller amounts of food at a time and am generally more hungry mid mornings to mid afternoons than at any other time. I also get more hungry after going to the gym, and rather than not listening to that and not eating any more, I have more good food, until I satisfy my hunger! In terms of the statistics - I am amazed and happy. I had set a goal of losing 10 kg by the end of the year as I thought it was reasonable and acheiveable. In my two weeks I have gone from 117 kg to 113kg and from 123cm around the waist to 119cm. Amazing considering I feel better than ever and don't feel like I am missing anything. So, thank you. I am really looking foward to continuing on this journey and feel like I will actually reach my goal. Lisa "
