Sydney Weight Loss Workshop for Men
This month I'm thrilled to have teamed up with my colleague Dr Miguel Iglesias to bring you Dr Iglesias' Weight Loss Workshop for Men.During his PhD at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research and subsequent research at the University of Paul Sabatier in Toulouse, France, and the University of New South Wales, Dr Iglesias made seminal discoveries on the influence of diet and exercise on the body's ability to respond to insulin and metabolize glucose. Dr Iglesias' research has been published in the highest-ranking international scientific journals in metabolism, notably Cell Metabolism, the Journal of Clinical Investigation and Diabetes.
The beauty of Dr Iglesias' workshop is that he not only has the scientific training to present rigorously researched information that will make a difference to men who want to lose weight and keep it off, he also knows from personal experience what it's like to fight and win the Battle of the Bulge. Here's what Dr Iglesias says.
After yo-yo dieting from the age of 14, I discovered The Don't Go Hungry Diet by my colleague Dr Amanda Sainsbury-Salis and it changed my life. Since that day I have lost 14 kilos that will never come back.
So that is one frustration gone. But what about the second one? Do men and women regulate body weight in a similar manner? From my research into weight regulation and my personal experiences, men gain and lose weight differently to women.
- We put on weight in different areas of the body
- We put on weight for different reasons
- The sources of stress and our reactions to it are different
- We have different motivations for losing weight
- We respond to exercise in a different way
If you're a man who wants to lose weight as a man, come to my workshop and I'll show you how to do it without ordering skim lattes, small meals or salads with light dressing.
If you're a woman and you want to help a man you care about to be lean and healthy, come to my workshop and I'll show you how to do it, backed by insights from scientific research.
I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you.'

What our readers say...
"BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS I HAVE LOST A FURTHER FOUR KILOGRAMS. I am fifty-one years of age and since I have been about thirty years of age I have been on diets where I have lost weight over a short period of time and then regained the weight plus back again. At the beginning of this year I put myself through the same rigor not having any beer and eating nothing but rabbit food for about seven weeks. During this period I enrolled on a course held by the Sydney Community College, which had included in the subject matter “loose weight and keep it off”. After loosing nine kilograms on my crash diet my weight had plateaued by the time I attended the seminar presented by Amanda. I was astonished by the revelations that Amanda pointed out in relation to diets. Having a broad spectrum of foods, having foods as natural as possible and listening to the needs of my body, all backed up with scientific research made the impossible dream of keeping the weight off a reality. I have resumed a normal life again after my crash diet and am now following the rules of [The Don’t Go Hungry Diet] and I now drink premium beer (less processed) and eat a broad spectrum of foods and listen to the needs of my body and beyond my wildest dreams I have lost a further four kilograms. I have never lost weight before whilst having beers. "
