Speaker Profile

David Gillespie is a recovering corporate lawyer, co-founder of a successful software company and consultant to the IT industry.

He is also the father of six young children (including one set of twins). With such a lot of extra time on his hands, and 40 extra kilos on his waistline, he set out to investigate why he, like so many in his generation, was fat.

He deciphered the latest medical findings on diet and weight gain and what he found was chilling. Being fat was the least of his problems. He needed to stop poisoning himself.

David is the author of Sweet Poison: Why Sugar Makes Us Fat (2008) and The Sweet Poison Quit Plan (2010). His book sales to date put him in the top ten authors for the most non-fiction books sold in Australia. His third book on the myths and facts of dieting will be published in late 2011.

A consummate professional and lawyer by training, David has appeared on many radio and TV shows including A Current Affair, Today Tonight, Sunrise and the The Circle.
