When Pete Thomas landed on The Big-gest Loser, he weighed more than 400 pounds and had tried, and failed at, countless diets. He had no idea how to lose the weight permanently. All he knew was that he wanted to gain something he’d never had—his health. His determi-nation pushed him to lose 185 pounds and he won the $100,000 at-home Big-gest Loser prize. Now, seven years later and counting, Pete has not only kept the weight off permanently, but has helped hundreds of students lose thousands of combined pounds through his popular weight-loss program and boot camps.
Now Pete’s phenomenal four-step process for lasting weight loss success is available to everyone in Lose It Fast, Lose It Forever:
(Continued from front flap)
The Lose It Fast, Lose It Forever program is based on the weight-loss principles Pete learned on The Biggest Loser and in his own extensive study of the science of weight loss, then applied in real life, off the ranch. With personalized meal plans, workouts, and inspiring stories from Pete’s own experiences and those of his students, you too can learn the best way to shed the pounds and keep them off for-ever. If you’re ready to change your life and regain your health, let Pete’s motto be your motivator:

It’s not surpris-ing to me that Pete would be successful after losing the weight, and Lose It Fast, Lose It Forever gives you a step-by-step process of how you can have the same success. Pete holds himself accountable daily (he even sends me a current picture on the anniversary of his final weigh-in every year!), and his book will hold you accountable in changing your life, not just to fit into a pair of jeans, but until the end of time.”

I had an opportunity to ride 100 miles with Pete Thomas during the American Diabetes Association Tour De Cure, and it’s clear that he “gets it”. His straight-forward and easily-understood approach leads to positive changes in your lifestyle, habits, and mindset. And that’s the key to long-term, forever success.

Pete Thomas—No Ordinary Interview!
Pete Thomas, the $100,000 Season 2 At-Home Winner of NBC’s
“The Biggest Loser” and author of the new book, “LOSE IT FAST, LOSE IT
FOREVER: A 4-Step Permanent Weight Loss Plan from the Most Successful
“Biggest Loser” of All Time” (Avery Books, September 17, 2012, Hardcover,
eBook) is “Changing the Conversation” on Weight-Loss in America.
Provocative and engaging, Pete Thomas is no ordinary interview. He has a
very unique perspective on weight-loss and he’s not afraid to share it. (Be sure
to check out Pete’s list of controversial interview questions).
Thomas’ new book reveals the secrets to maintaining all of his 185 pound weight-loss for over seven years, a
feat MOST former Biggest Loser contestants cannot claim, and in it he answers the question every overweight
person is asking; “How do I lose weight and keep it off—forever?”
In an interview, Pete can discuss his revolutionary four-part program, which includes Your Power, Your Plan, Your Pursuit, and Your Purpose. He will reveal strategies for developing a “perfect personalized forever workout and meal plan,” the three F’s that Pete consumes at each meal, and much more. In addition, in Pete’s engaging and interactive way, he can demonstrate:
The significant difference between event-based and purpose-based goals
The stark contrast between ‘activity’ and exercise
How to understand the amount of fuel one’s body needs each day (and what happens when we over-
fuel); and
How to modify our foods and meals to lose weight without going hungry
Having lived as a 416 pound man— and now on the other side— Pete’s unique insight as the most successful Biggest Loser of all time is one that needs to be heard! Today, Pete Thomas is an acclaimed full-time motivational speaker, corporate wellness consultant, and the
most successful contestant to ever come away from NBC’s The Biggest Loser—in addition to being the only
African American Winner in the history of the show.
I look forward to speaking with you soon about scheduling coverage for your September and October calendars! Sincerely, Anita Lane 646.450.6214 [email protected]
