This Surviving & Thriving segment is presented by Florida Hospital. With the right kind of care and support and the right attitude, it’s possible to not only survive life’s greatest challenges but to thrive in the aftermath.

How many of us have tried to stay in shape but failed? That’s why the weight-loss industry is worth billions every year. With all the books, products and supplements out there you’d think we’d all be in great condition, but Steve Siebold says every one of those books, products and supplements are a waste of money and all they do is distract you from the only thing that will work. 

What is that thing? You’re not going to like it. In fact, Steve says he gets hate mail and even death threats, and now, his new book hits even harder than before. 

Steve talks about his book, “Fat Loser! Mental Toughness Training for Dieters,” and he says he’s not trying to be mean to people but he does want to wake people up. 

Find out why he’s tired of people not taking responsibility for their weight gain and what he learned by losing 40 pounds himself. He explains why he wants those struggling to lose weight to start hanging around with more fit people. He also reveals that he’s a junk-food loving person himself, but he’s learned to stop “acting stupid” about food. Get his tips for real-world weight loss with a goal of being healthy, not fitness magazine cover worthy. 

Steve says he’s so passionate about helping people change their lives that he’s giving away an ebook version of “Fat Loser!” for free. Click here to download your free copy.
