Ex-US President Barack Obama has been praised by a senior former Australian politician for his diet discipline - as Mr Obama and wife Michelle share a ritzy lunch in Sydney.

Bob Carr, the country's former foreign minister, said on Tuesday that Mr Obama, who is in Australia on an $AUD350-per-head (USD$230) speaking tour, is extremely careful with sugar and fat. 

Mr Carr said that a meal during a G20 meeting in St Petersburg, Russia in 2013, he 'noticed out of the corner of my eye as this working banquet went on, (Mr Obama) carefully separated on his plate anything that would have had sugar or fat in it. 

'And I thought this guy must have had a protein shake earlier in the day to take the edge off his hunger.'

Mr Carr, who is also a former premier of the state of New South Wales, continued: 'I thought ... this guy has got admirable discipline. 

'He is going to leave office with the same waist size he had when he entered.'
