Loved your segment on WGN and can’t wait to read your book to find my fit.
Hello. I need to low weight desperately. I need this book.
Both myhusband and I are not getting any younger, and our eating habits aren’t getting any better. We both could use to lose some pounds, and this plan sounds like the way to go.
I’m a chronic all-or-morning person, and I’d love to read this so get more ideas of how to navigate this trait better. Thanks!
I just lost 20 lbs, but have another 20 to go. I seem plateaued. Looking for a way to get moving again.
I really enjoyed the segment with you and your wife. I have struggled many years with weight loss and would love to try your book.
I have no energy and need a life style change
Im 64 and not too over weight but always struggle
I’m going to take the quiz to see where I struggle most
I need some help

It is nice to see a different approach. I have been struggling for years to lose weight
This book is exactly what my husband and I need! weight loss is so individual, what might work for me, probably won’t work for him! just saw you on wgn and was so excited.
I used to be an active person, but the past two years my husband and I have been struggling with infertility. As a result, I’ve been seeing a counselor to deal with depression. Of course, inactivity followed. I’m trying now to get back into a routine while managing treatment, but I don’t know where to start. It sounds like this book will help me focus my efforts in eating and activity planning. I want to be the fit and healthy person I was before infertility for my own benefit, and hopefully my child’s.
I have tried 1000s of diet. I am tired and just want to find a life long way of eating/exercising. I am all or nothing…..
I have struggled with my weight and will to exercise for years. At one point I was exercising 4 days a week but still struggled to go every day. 8 would love to know why and how I can fix that to become more healthy.
Thank you for your inspiration!
I would love to try this! I have struggled with weight loss and then gaining weight back. It’s very frustrating to keep weight off in a daily basis!

I have struggled my entire life with losing weight. I can see myself thin, but I’m having trouble getting there.
I would like a free copy of your book. I am turning 50 in a week and want to hit a “reset” button on my health.
I would LOVE a copy of a book. After having my daughter, I struggled with postpartum depression. The medication made me gain back ALL of the baby weight I had lost and I am at my heaviest weight ever. I have struggled with my weight in the past, and am not sure where to start now.
I have tried so long, with so many ways maybe this will work!
I need to lose weight but after working can’t get motivated
I gained 45 lbs with each pregnancy. I have struggled to lose the baby weight. I manage to lose a couple of pounds but can’t seem to keep it off. I feel likeva yo-yo.
I’d like to receive the book so that I can get a handle on my “new normal” which finds me lethargic and gaining weight rapidly. I am going through menopause and all the former ways that I’ve utilize to lose weight on stay in shape are failing me.
Thank you. I’m looking forward to reading this.
I’m interested to see what tips you have to help me lose weight and get fit.
I am interested in changing the way we eat, the traditions of living to eat instead of eating to live.
I have been a struggler with fitness my entire life. I would love to find a lifestyle that works for me.

I would love a free book not only for myself but for my husband as well! I just had a baby (he is 4 months old now) and am struggling to get back in shape. I struggled with eating disorders growing up and am trying to go about my weight loss in a healthy way to be the best mom I can be. My husband has been on and off with his weight loss journey for almost 4 years now. Needless to say, we could both use a little help in getting fit this holiday season.

I work a lot and need help on getting on track to eating right and exercising.

Just saw you on WGN Morning News. I’m in my mid-50s and struggle with weight. I’ve tried a number of different diets, but always seem to gain back and then some. Your approach is different than any I have heard of before. I’d be very interested to see if it would work for me. Thanks!
Looking forward to reading I have horrible habits
I just saw your spot on WGN and the 6 factors really resonated with me. I have been on and off many diets and nothing works. Your book is not just another fad diet, it appears that it will show me a whole new lifestyle.
I saw you on WGN this morning and want to learn more
Hello, I just saw the WGN interview and found both you and your wife fascinating. I would like to try your approach at weigh loss.
I saw you and your wife on WGN and I feel like your book would be helpful for me. I’ve tried all sorts of diets and I can’t seem to maintain them or the weight. This book seems like it would a perfect fit because it seems like it gets more to the root of the person, not just touting another fad diet.
I would LOVE a copy of this book!! Sounds like the perfect approach and just what I need!!!
I’d love to receive one of your books. I’m looking to reset my eating and exercise habits as soon as possible. I’ve been out of work for couple of months now and I gained weight ?

Interested
Sounds like a book that may help people This may help my brother in law which is having issues losing weight and his spouse.
Sounds interesting please send me free book!

Hi – getting older, been putting off working out for a long time! Saw you & your wife on WGN and decided to go for it in 2020 and get fit, mentally & physically.
Thanks for the opportunity.
James Carlin
It’s time for a change! I have tried all kinds of diets & nothing works. I gain more back. Now I’m 260 & desperate. The weight is making my 5’3 body hurt & I’m only 51. I want to be able to play with my grandchildren some day. Please help!
I fall into the same bad habits every time I run to a difficulty. Last time was when my brother in law suddenly died and my sister broke leg shortly after. I just gave up and can’t get back on track.
Hi I am looking to look better and feel better in the new year and learn a little more about myself
I want a copy of this book because I watched the interview and felt like I fit into every category that was discussed. I have nine children, one of whom is disabled. There are a lot of things that I am not able to do anymore, like go to the gym, but I still want to find a way to be healthy and stay that way. Please strongly consider my interest. I am looking for a good fit for my health and well-being. Thank you
Thank you for looking at weight loss from a different perspective. I don’t need to lose a lot of weight, but at 56 with heigh cholesterol issues, I need to get “fit”.
I am looking to change habits to be more healthy. I am in my 50s and want to lose weight for my upcoming wedding as well as continue to maintain. I think this book will help me pinpoint my areas yo focus on. Being mindful of taking care of me is my goal in 2020.
I have recently turned 60 years old and found out that I have diabetes. I must get serious about my health. Than you for the book.
I need to read this book!
I have struggled with weight almost my entire life. I am always looking for help. I’ve tried everything. After seeing Dr. Kushner and his wife on WGN this morning, something hit home. He mentioned mind-set which I know is something I need help with. I liked the personalized quiz so that the book will work specifically for me. It will “fit” me!! I’m approaching 50 and need to do something so I’m here for my family.
I am a recently diagnosed adult onset type 1 diabetic and in 2020 I want to get as healthy as I possibly can-your book looks like a great way for me to reach that goal!
The book seems to be very interesting and very practical.I believe it might be helpful for my wife and myself.
I’m now retired and new some motivation to get in better shape. I feel like I eat fairly healthy, no fast food, no soda but not enough vegetables or fruit. I exercise for a week and then slack off. I need something to keep me going, a little pep talk now and then. Saw your segment this morning and have hope that your book and your ideas might get me on the right path. I want to have a long and healthy retirement. Thank you.
I have just turned 70 and fairly healthy and not on any medications. The last couple of years I have been a caregiver to my 93 year old Mom and have been progressively gaining weight, about 25-30 lbs overweight, basically due to stress. It would be interesting if your book can help me get back on track.
Thank you!
I’m 65 and a lifelong sugar addict. It’s taking its toll on my health. I’d love to read your advice.

Hi! I watched you on WGN news this morning – very interesting! I am 48 years old and as I get older my metabolism has slowed down so much – especially after my hysterectomy. I eat right a majority of the time, increased water intake ( I need to do more of that) and also belong to Planet Fitness gym. I am really interested in learning new ways to become healthy and I need more motivation!! I would love to be one of the people you choose to get your book PLEASE! I am always looking for new ways to get motivated!! Thanks and Happy Holidays! 🙂
My husband & I struggle with weight loss. After seeing you on wgn we are very interested in your approach! Thank you & happy holidays!
I would like this book because I have a 2 year old and we are trying to have another but I would like to live a better lifestyle before the next baby comes along.
I want to be healthier and share with my husband and daughter. During the winter months I tend to be a sloth. I always just turned 50 and know it won’t get any easier. I also want to help two of my friends with this journey.
I really liked what I’ve read about your book. I think it would be a great help to changing my lifestyle and helping manage my Lupus.
Very interested in this book
Snacker when stressed. And disabled. I hope to get motivated.
I’ve heard about Dr. Kushner through the years from my dear friend Mary. Delighted to see him and his wife on WGN this morning. Can’t wait to read the book.
Happy New Year!
I have been struggling for many years with yo-yo weight loss and gain, and have been type 2 diabetic for 14 years.
Watched WGN this morning and saw your book. I use to be very fit then divorce, cancer, stress and my father died. Its been a long 5 years and I feel worn out. I am very interested in taken a different approach at my health and getting back in shape. ( mental and physical)
I’m looking for a path to fitness that I can stay on… not just to try something only to realize I won’t or can’t continue it. This book sounds like it understands that struggle!
I am so curious about this book. I have tried for three years to lose weight, but have been unsuccessful. Getting old sucks! ???
Saw you on WGN Have been struggling to lose weight for a long time.
I would like to be more fit. I have let myself go after the death of my husband. It is difficult to cook for one and eat at our table alone.
Thank you.
Sounds Great And full of Inspiration Need this!
Six Factors to Fit seems to be a very logical approach to a healthier life. The information gathered from individuals provides support for the six factors.

I have struggled with some health issues and a severely broken right ankle in 2019. I am finally well and feeling better, but I have put some excess weight on my 5’3″ frame.

I was actually considering weight loss surgery, but I would love to read your book and put your processes to work in my life instead! Thank you! ~Deb

I would really love to get this book because for the past 5 years I was in a really bad abusive relationship and became really depressed and within a year I gained over 100 pounds after just losing 50 pounds a year prior I decided to leave the relationship and have started this journey again because I’m tired of living in pain I go to bed and wake up taking pain pills and I’m currently changing my eating habits and looking for some more resources to help with this journey!
Hello Dr. Kushner. M.D. I just watched you and your wife on WGN Channel 9. I am very interested in your book and would love to read it. In my opinion, it is a more realistic approach to dieting.

I would love to win this book for my 27 year old daughter to give her as a gift for good health. She has ITP and is in remission after a splenectomy but because of steroid use has had an issue with her weight. I would love for her to be able to try this
I start the accelerated BSN program at Saint Xavier University in May after being a stay at home mom for 19 years. I weigh more now than I did during my last pregnancy 13 years ago. I’m getting ready to start the career of my dreams, I need to lose weight and live a healthier life.
I just turned 60 and have arthritis I’d like to lose weight and get moving again.
I would like the book for my sister who has struggled the last few years trying every diet out there with no results—I believe this may finally be the diet book she needs once and for all.
I lost 30lbs & now I’m gaining some of the weight back. I am disappointed w/myself I am not as active as I was during the spring & summer. I was walking two times a day minimum 3 miles. My husband had CABG x5 3yrs ago which is why I started my weight loss journey.
I need a boost to get back into the swing of things, I sure hope the book will give me that boost I need.
Thank you,
Christine Runions
Looking to improve my sleep through consistent exercise. Have trouble maintaining daily exercise…hoping there is help managing and motivating daily exercise and diet.
I turn 50 next year and want to be the healthiest and look better than I have in years . I have struggled with health and body image and this is the year that I achieve my goals.
Hello – took a calcium score test – tested high so I NEED to lose weight. After test started off strong and tailed off. Interested in the archetypes you mention hoping that if identify that I can keep track and hit goal especially as important it is….thanks
Been working on getting fit but having issues hoping your book can help. I’m 280lbs and looking to get to 225lbs
Seeing your segment on WGN I found your approach sensible and sustainable. I had an extensive back surgery in August and looking to regain strength and fitness I also am looking to regain my healthy mindset regarding food and fitness, even though I still have some physical limitations.
I have gained 40 lbs in the last 4 years. I have tried many “diets” and they just don’t work for me. I am an extremely busy Mom, and I know that my lifestyle and my dietary choices play a HUGE role in my weight gain. I have made a promise to my children to be a better role model, by making healthy choices, and exercising regularly. Your concept makes sense; start small. I would love to read this book, to get back on track to healthy.
I don’t prefer to diet or consume medication. But that is where I’m headed if I don’t make some lifestyle changes. Saw your interview on WGN and what you discussed made more sense to me than other suggestions I’ve heard. I would enjoy a copy of your book before my follow up doctor visit in about 2 months. Thank you and I hope to hear from you.
I have struggled with weight loss for over 20 years. I lose weight and gain it right back. I’m getting older (56yrs) and losing weight seems to be even more difficult.
This book will help my fiancé and I figure out what our barriers are to sticking to a healthy lifestyle. Our goal is to keep a healthy lifestyle throughout our life as husband and wife. Our wedding is 6months away and quickly approaching. We are hoping to obtain this book to get started on our healthy lifestyle change for the wedding.
I have been unhealthy for a few years now as I had been the primary care giver to my now-deceased mother. I was very healthy and active until 3 years ago. I am grieving and a little depresssed and have gained almost 30 pounds since my mother’s death in January 2019. I cannot get myself motivated. I saw you on WGN Morning News today and am ready to begin healing by becoming a healthier me. Your talk was inspirational to me as I need something for ME, not a fad diet.
It’s taken a long 5 years, but have lost almost 60 pounds. I’m at a standstill. I’ve had 7 spine surgeries, and a few more. Exercise is limited. I’m interested on how I can continue. Still needing to lose at least 25 more. I’m hoping your book will help. Holiday foods are calling me.
I just saw you on WGN after getting back from the fitness center. I am newly retired and trying to get back in shape. I was intrigued by your book. My email address is kathierobinson1963@gmail.com. Thank you for the free book offer!
I really need to lose weight for my health, most of all…. and I don’t understand what my problem is…… I’m diabetic and grossly overweight, I’m hoping this book could help me… Thank you
I’m so very interested in this book/approach. I have multiple sclerosis & back issues. A number of years ago I lost 122 pounds but after a car accident 6 years ago I unfortunately let my self backtrack. I’m struggling to run my business carrying the weight. I’d love to make a go of this!
Thank you for this opportunity. Like many people, i have tried everything to get fit. Your book sounds like a logical approach that I would like to try.
Hoping to avoid more Orthopaedic surgeries but am stuck at a weight plateau. Because of Orthopaedic problems any concussive excercise is problematic and chemical sensitivity water excercise is hit miss. I have terrible dietary habits and am a very busy person. Help is definitely needed.
I have been struggling for 7 years, menopause is not helping, it’s not just a matter of skipping a meal and you’re losing weight. Going to the gym seems like it’s not helping. I’m in a rut there. It’s so hard. I need a push, a program that will help me get started, and stay started. My daughter graduates college May 2020. I’d like to surprise her.
Thanks!
I have struggled with weight my whole life and I am tired of the constant battle where it is one step forward and two steps back. Thank you
I would like your book. I always seem to be on a roller coaster trying to make the right choice but life and will get in the way. Would like to get some guidance.
Being a woman over 60, I know the importance of staying fit but sometimes struggle with diet (I go all day without eating, then eat one meal late in the day) and trying to take care of my home and husband who was recently diagnosed with colon cancer. Learning ways to work fitness into my daily routine would be great! Thank you!
I am a father of 2 young girls. I consoder myself to be generally active however I continue to gain weight and am too overweight. I need to set a good example for my children and also stay healthy for our future.
Thanks
Derrick
I just watched your segment on WGN and like your approach. The ideas of life style changes vs dieting are ideas I am looking to implement in my life. I feel your book would provide the starting point to make this an accessible change without being a huge change.
I am interested in this book because I’m a mom, college student and I work full time. I’m slightly over weight and I’ve struggled with loosing weight sense I had my son almost 5 years ago. Every few months I start to work out, meal prep, and stay away from fast food places. After about a month into my “lifestyle” I end up slacking, stop going to the gym, will not prep any food and only buy junk food. I would love to learn how to overcome the downs that I experience and just push through when I notice myself starting to slip. I think if I was to own this book I would have the tools I need to keep going and get to my goal of loosing weight and living healthier!
I am always searching for new information on weight loss for a healthy life.
So hoping to be a winner of the free book! I have put weight on since a bad whiplash injury 5 years ago – I stopped jogging & weight lifting.
I really want to get in better shape to look my best & healthiest in my brides maid dress May 2020. Thank you for considering me! Happy Holidays! Colleen Ahlberg
I went through breast cancer treatments from July of 2018 thur March 2019. On November 18 2019 (2 days before my birthday) I got the best news of being cancer free!!! Now I am in need of losing weight and getting healthier to try to get feeling better and staying healthy. I would love to receive your book so I can get on the right track for the rest of my life!!
Merry Christmas,
Debra Turner
Have been struggling to lose weight for 20 years. Not a huge amount. Started out to lose 15 lbs. and now want to lose 25 lbs.
Due to some mild health issues I have not been active in 6 yrs. Again 40 lbs. I need to get healthy again and get my active live back again especially since I just became a grandma and 53 is to young not to be able to run around with her.
Hi Robert
I know that I need to get more fit as I can see the impact that not eating healthy and being active has had on my older family members. I have lost weight before, but it seems more difficult now that I am spending more time at work and leaving too late to prepare a healthy meal. I am hoping your book can give me some helpful advice. Thanks!
I have struggled for years with dieting and have given up. I know that my diet is severely lacking in nutrients and my activity level has diminished so much. I could use help.
I’m not very active in my job and need to lose weight.
Good Morning,
I am a 54 year old woman and I feel like my body and skin have turned into a melting bean bag. I hate to grocery shop, and love sweets, which is a very unhealthy combination. Because I was very thin in my youth, I never had to exercise, therefore didn’t develop that healthy habit like some of my friends who had to work at being thin. Help!
Seen you on WGN and interested in the book and fighting weight loss for years maybe this will help ?
I need to feel better. I’m a special education coordinator and need to be able to move on a moment’s notice to help with behavior. My weight gets in the way. Please consider me. Thank you!
I have struggled with weight loss since having my daughter 11 years ago. I have RA and struggle with weight loss and inflammation.
Hello Dr. Kushner,
I’d like to receive a free book. I’m a teacher and I need to stay healthy. I appreciate your intensive study on weight management and I would like to learn more on how to stay healthy.
Thank you!
Patricia Moreno
I have recently went from a job where I sat in my car most of the day to one that required much more physical effort. While I knew that I was over weight and out of shape, I didn’t realize how much. I really would like to read this book to gleam some hints to help me get fit. I liked what the Dr said about taking small steps.
I am a mother of two teenage boys about to turn 49 in January. Of course I feel the need to improve my health in the new year. I am a 911 dispatcher and work midnight shift. So I have sleep deficit and stress. I really think this book will help me to achieve some goals for the new year. Bring 2020 on!
Where is the free book? Poor set up here —no clear way to receive this book. Maybe not optimized for Mobile.
I loved the WGN segment. Send the book if you can. Thank you.
I saw you as a guest on WGN this morning and would love a copy of your book.
I’m interested in this book because I like the holistic approach of referencing your everyday thoughts and patterns the finding the thread that connects it to dies and exercise. I think this is unique because not enough people acknowledge the importance of mental health in all aspects of life like this.
Good morning, I am a 5’9″ 320lb man struggling with weight loss. I have struggled for years with losing and gaining weight back after a series of family tragedies. I know that I am killing myself each day that I keep this weight surrounding my heart, but I just can’t seem to stop eating. Hopefully reading your book can help me figure out why I’m eating like this.
Struggling with weight issues and recently diagnosed with diabetes. Would love to read your book. Have 8 grandchildren I want to watch grow up. Thank you for the opportunity to help myself.
I am interested in this book because I’m a mom, college student and I work full time. I’m slightly over weight and I’ve struggled with loosing weight sense I had my son almost 5 years ago.

I’ve been struggling with my weight since adolescence. I feel like this book could be a great help in my health journey.
My husband is an extremist and is an all or nothing person. His Dr. put him on weighloss pills because he was 100 lbs. over weight. He is off the pills and lost 60lbs. very fast – actually too fast to be healthy. Now he is 170 lbs. over weight. My son is 15 and following in his footsteps. Your book is exactly what he needs to read. He is so set on fad diets. I hate the word diet. You can’t live on a diet – you need to adjust your lifestyle.
I’d love to learn new ways to get healthy and fit. I have type2 diabetes and a job where I’m on my feet all day. I’m 45 years old and worried I won’t see 60! Did I mention I’m a smoker!
Help!
Hello, I just saw your segment on WGN. I have struggled with weight loss my whole life. I did every diet FAD. I saw this segment on tv and this looks like it’s the real deal. So much research and time that was put in to makes this book. I am very interested. I had my first child this year. He is 4 months old. I want his father to be with him as long as possible. I have the motivation I need to succeed and this book looks like it’s the PROPER information I need to finally achieve my life goal. Im ready to read and learn what is the best weight loss program that fits ME.
Reason I want the book is to get my health back!! I’d also like to share with my mom who says that she can’t walk because of arthritis and pain. I told her 5 minutes a day would help a little bit and help her start to gain endurance a little at a time. Saw you on WGN where you said basically the same thing!! Thank you!
I’m having a difficult time after knee replacement and spinal fusion finding a way to stay active without pain and at the same time eating healthy. Could use some positive advice and get on my way back to a normal healthy lifestyle. Ready for a new year with a new outlook for 2020! Aging has taken a toll of this body, but I don’t want to give up, I want to only get stronger and be an inspiration to others even at the ripe age of 67! Looking forward to new outlooks and motivation! Also I need to be heart healthy, heart disease runs in our family and 8 years ago, suffered a heart attack while on a tennis court! Hopefully this downward spiral will start going up❤️
Just watched your interview on WGN. I’m very interested in your book and the way your weight loss plan is “Fit” to each individual. I was recently told I have onset diabetes and my bad cholesterol is high. I am overweight and have tried many different diets. Just can’t seem to stay committed. I’d like to have your book to guide me through my weight loss.
Saw the two of you this moring on channel 9. Very interested to read you book. I am a type 1 diabetic that went through a kidney-pancreas. In the past I had used Isagenix to assist with managing weight. I can no longer use that program and am looking for ideas.
Happy Holidays!
I have struggled with my weight my whole life.
I need some guidance.
Been struggling my whole life to make better food choices and exercises that I can continue throughout life. I have a family history of heart disease and cancer and would like to avoid that with better, healthier choices.
Am 73 y.o. and look great; my secret is that inside I feel so old. I need a boost to get myself back to being able to walk & run w.o. worrying that I’ll not catch my breath. I need some motivation and a plan to get more physical activity and know what will help me most.
I am trying to lose weight and be healthier in the new year. I am a widow and mother to young children and think this book could help me.
Seems a solid game way to lose weight
During the past year I have reduced my weight from 200 lbs to 160 lbs thru healthy eating and exercise. What’s most important to me now is maintaining this weight mindset and lifestyle. Any help or information that would be conducive to me maintaining my current state of health and improving it is welcome!
I am interested in getting more active as I am now 62 years of age. I have twin grand babies that I am enjoying and would like to enjoy for many years to come. I have high blood pressure and cholesterol. I would love to be able to stop taking my medications, if possible. I must confess, I am not a very active person. Don’t like exercise, never did.
I’m over 100lbs overweight and am looking for a good way to change my eating but especially my activity routine. I have good intentions but I’m lacking the get up and go mindset. So I would welcome a new outlook on these things for me.
Thank you,
Terri Farrar
I know healthier life starts with mind set and end in mind but ,I need to support on other factors involved. Very excited and looking forward to living a healthier, happier life and I would love to start with your book!
I’ve been struggling to get back into a workout routine since having my son 4 years ago. I start something for a few weeks and then something always comes up that stops me. Also, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in July 2018, went through surgery and radiation (all clear for almost a year) and have been trying to eat better (I have a really bad sweet tooth).
Saw you on WGN Morning. Hope to get motivated.
Thank you for creating this book. I took the quiz and it definitly fit me as a fast pacer.
Yes I saw your presentation on WGN news and would like to use your weight loss program to get healthier as I and my wife start retirement.
At age 64, I have noticed a quick negative change in my skin texture and cellulite that I do not like…. my goal for 2020 is to help myself look and feel better with basic steps that will help me and last.
I would love a copy of your book! I have been looking for a common sense approach to a healthy lifestyle, combining healthy eating and slowly increasing my physical activity.
Thank you!
I have worked out my whole life but have had difficulty managing my diet to better control my weight. I have stuck with work out and physical activity but as I age, the aches and pains and endurance issues have impacted the level of activity. Unfortunately my diet issues have escalated. Your interview on WGN made sense to me with info on setting the end goals. I would like to learn more about your approach. Thank you.
Good morning! I would love to receive a copy of your book because I have been struggling to stay on track with staying healthy and I think it may help me! I sit at a desk all day and by the time I get home, I have no energy to exercise. Sometimes I try to change & start working out, but after a couple weeks, I’m back to my old routine.
Recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes – need help to get rid of the weight that’s ruining my health. I just can’t understand why I can’t stick to a diet, hoping this book will help!
I am constantly on a diet and lose the weight and then get it back again. I’d like to learn why I always put the weight back on .
pat.drews@yahoo.com
I would like a free book because I’m skeptical. I have tried may diets with no success. I do however fall into a few of the categories that I seen you show on WGN. I need to stop this insanity & get serious. The more I think about dieting the more I gain. I hope thoes book will help.
I’m an overweight 67 year old grandfather who wants to set an example for his family and believe your book will help me get there.
I saw you and your wife on WGN and I was intrigued. I am a 45 year old Mom of 2, who teaches Kindergarten. I am busy and always on my feet, and need a little something extra to get me going to give myself a little “me” time so that I can live a more balanced and healthier life. Thank you!
I am recently retired and not as active as I have been. I’d like a plan that would help me get and stay more fit.
I took the quiz. Still processing the results.
I would really appreciate a copy of your book. I retired recently and I’m having difficulty losing weight that keeps creeping up on me. I’m 5’9″ and weigh 210 lbs. I’d love to develop a different lifestyle now that I’m retired and need to develop a retirement lifestyle to replace my working lifestyle. It was so much easier when I was employed. Thank You
I have lost a large amount of weight but in the last year I have regained 30 pounds and I can’t seem to get back into the right way of living.
I’m a 58 year old woman that feels much older. I need to get more fit, lose weight and find balance. I work, then come home and crash. My son is away at college and I would like to be more healthy and active for my aging parents, sons’ graduation and any future grandkids.
I am a 50 year old Diabetic and am working towards a lower A1C. I want to find ways to better my health and lose weight.
I’ve been retired just over a year now, and in the last 4 months I have recently joined a gym and finally getting serious about my health. After watching doctor kushner on WGN-TV this morning, I would be very interested in seeing how that book would work for me.
I need motivation to try and eat better, exercise more and get truly healthy
Very interested in what you had to say. We are recently retired and have had a variety of health problems from arthritis, to spinal stenosis, to several successful fights with cancer. We have begun our journey to better health and weight loss. After seeing and listening to you speak on WGN we would look forward to reading your book and using it to guide us through our journey. Thank you and happy holidays.

This approach makes so much sense. I have learned first hand that diets don’t work. I’m anxious to try something new to improve my health.
I just had a baby 6 weeks ago and I am ready to focus on my health and body I would love to get some expert advice on how to start.
itsjustmom@sbcglobal.net
My husband is over 300 pounds and he thinks your fit program is something he could follow. Please, he really needs to lose weight.
Thank you.
I’ve struggled to try to find ways to lose weight for the past 16 years (when I gave birth to my second child). 4 years ago, I was diagnosed with Lupus. The inflammation in my knees has made it difficult to stick to an exercise routine. I’ve pretty much given up on losing weight. After I saw your segment on WGN this morning, I thought your book might actually help and motivate me to lose weight again.
I watched your interview on WGN this morning and related to your approach to a healthier life style. I’d love to start the new year off right with a copy of your book!! I’m determined to change old habits on the new decade. Thanks in advance!! My email address is yolo2940@gmail.com
This book is unlike any other were it is focused on my particular issue of what I struggle with. I liked that the Quiz helped me understand what that is and I can used the book to guide me to become a helathier me!
Since retiring, I have become less active. Small weight gain has slowed me down. I am looking to create a new balance between eating and exercise. Exercise was never something that I like to do, but work kept me active.
I’m a 54 female that is struggling with my weight due to menopause. I have tried many things and have failed. I would like to try something new and I saw both you and your wife on WGN NEWS and the information was very interesting to me.
I’ve tried many approaches to losing weight, but the older I get, nothing seems to work anymore. I’m excited to try Dr. Kushner’s approach!
Just saw your feature on WGN morning news at 9 and was intrigued after seeing how many of the factors apply to my long struggle to lose 20 pounds and get back into shape.
Recently I was laid off from my job and so I’ve decided to embark upon a new career in the field of Speech-Language Pathology. Because most of my classes are online, I’m trying to balance sedentary study habits as well as sugar binges when it is crunch time before tests.
Looking forward to learning more about your system, because the rollercoaster of detoxes and liquid fasting just aren’t cutting it anymore~!
Thanks very much!
Looking to make changes in my diet and exercise heading into the New Year.
I have MS & due to flare ups I have been sedentary for about a year. I am trying to get back into shape and think your book may help. I would love to get back you a healthier weight and lifestyle again.
I’ve had a cervical lamenectomy with fusion and since have felt 15 years older with no real desire to be active,and am 66 years old. I’m hoping your book will click something in me to help regain strength and mobility.
Interested in finding out how my mindset plays into my being effective in losing weight.
I saw part of your segment on WGN. Sounds interesting.
I am out of shape and haven’t done anything about it for years. I am 72 yrs old and need to start exercising and need to lose 60 lbs. maybe reading this book would give me the incentive to do so. I’d love to receive a free copy of the book.
Looking to change my lifestyle and your book seems like it would help me do that.
Dear Dr Kushner,
My spouse is becoming quite obese. He just tried “The Potato Diet,” and was unable to even just eat the inclusive foods. He will go all day without eating, and then gorge himself at night. This book would be a gift to him so that he can start to eat healthy again.
Please help my husband!!!
I’m hoping a new and more personally directed diet program might get me inspired again. I need to jumpstart my brain to be motivated.
Hi Dr. Robert – just saw your interview on WGN – I am a 58 year old Greek Orthodox Priest – a few years ago I part of a program called Thin and Healthy – it was part of a health club I belonged to – where I weighed in three times a week spoke to a counselor – I lost 142 pounds. The program was dropped and long story short have put back 110 pounds. I am hoping your book can be of help to getting me back on track
Very interesting concept
In the past 3 years, our family has handled many tragedies in our life. In coping with everything, We have gotten out of control with not taking care of ourselves. We all could use some guidance in getting healthier.
Thank you!
Patty
Hi Dr.Kushner,
I am a 51 year old woman and my cholesterol has been climbing up. I decided to cut out meat and eggs but still struggling a bit. I walk my dog but have very little motivation for anything else really. I work in a low income hispanic neighborhood as a pre-k teacher and really want to have more energy for these children who need as much guidance as possible. Also I take care of my handicapped mother a couple days a week and of course the mental stress of it all wears me down. I will become a better member of the community if I am fit I believe. I desperately need to be more motivated and hope to fit exercise into my busy schedule. Thank you,
Juliana Cunningham
I need to focus on getting my health back.
I enjoyed taking the quiz. It gave me insight. I have struggled with weight management my whole life as far back as elementary school. I need to make significant changes so I can live longer and hopefully get off some of this medication I am on.
Having a hard time losing and keeping off weight with busy and stressful work week. Need help with turning this around.
I’ve been procrastinating to start getting fit and eating healthier. I saw your approach on WGN and think it may be the way to begin n earnest.
I’m 61, postmenopausal, my mother passed away 10/25, and I’m out of control with my weight! I need help.. please. Thanks so much!
Hello,
I would like a copy of your book since I saw it on WGN. Frustrating efforts with other programs has me looking for a new approach, I am thrilled that you are local! Northwestern is a gold standard so I have hope u r ok for this program,
Thank you,
Very interested in what you had to say. We are recently retired and have had a variety of health problems from arthritis, to spinal stenosis, to several successful fights with cancer.

I am interested in your book.. took your quiz, and feel maybe I can benefit from the information.
I’d love a free book! I’m definitely a fast-pacer & easily enticed eater- both difficult to conquer being a mom of a teenage boy that is trying to put on weight for sports, a challenging home life with 2 special needs kiddos & and a delicious table of goodies in the break room at work.
Thanks for your consideration.
Interested to lose weight in a healthy way and keep those extra pounds off.
I’ve never approached weight loss thinking about the end first!
Good morning and Happy Holidays Dr Kushner! I just saw you and your wife on WGN and am very interested in your book because I have tried a lot of different “diets” and none have made much sense. I am 51 years old and don’t have a lot of weight to lose but I want to avoid any negative health issues I may endure. I want to look better but feeling better is even more important to me. If I don’t win your book I will try to acquire it from my library as I am an avid reader. You seem sincere and I look forward to your book and this is the best time to start!! Thanks for your time and all my best!
Hi,
I am currently a patient at northwestern going through chemotherapy treatments for lymphoma. Before cancer I exercised and ate a plant based diet with the addition of fish occasionally. Now I eat everything and do not exercise as much as I should. I need to get back on track and be healthy again to fight this cancer!
Hello,
I listened to the broadcast on WGN about this book and am very interested in reading it and trying it out. Over the last couple of years I have found it increasingly difficult to pay attention to eating habits and exercise. I am a high school biology teacher, whose job is quite demanding–as one can image, dealing with teenagers has daily stresses. I am also busy tending to family responsibilities, which include caring for my aging parents. All this while trying to work on my PhD in science education. Most days, it’s just trying to get through the day, and that leaves very little time for my own self-care. So needless to say, in the last year I haven’t been staying as fit as I would like. Overall I only gained about 10 pounds, but I just feel out of shape. And this worried me because I am 51 and I want to stay active and healthy–particularly heart-healthy. I made it a goal to make my body more of priority for 2020, so this book would really help me on that journey. I would greatly appreciate receiving a free copy.
Thank you!
Gina Slusinski
My husband and I both would like to get healthier in 2020! I turned 50 this year, my husband is 51, almost 52, and we are interested in getting in better shape, and health!
The book sounds very interesting to me. I tend to have difficulty prioritizing my time for myself due to commitments to others.
I am always putting myself and my exercise at the bottom on my “to do” list and found your comments on the WGN Morning News compelling and want to know more about your survey and research.
I busted up my leg just short of three months ago now. I have been stuck on my couch for the majority of the time. On top of that my girlfriend of 6 years had left right before that. Nothing like being stuck not being able to do much of anything and alone with your thoughts. Recipe for depression. I have put on some weight and started smoking again. I could really use some positive ways to get my life back on track. It would be nice to start the year with a much needed smile.
I am interested in your book because I am 49 and have been struggling with weight loss and control for many years. I saw you guys the morning and believe your book can help me.
Dear
I would like this book to share with my family and for myself (ahem). I think that this book might be the best way for anyone who wants to get fit by following the guidelines for the appropriate personalities. My email address is Brendanr38@gmail.com.
Now I am going to take the quiz 🙂
THANK You
Brendan
I have been recovering from a mini-stroke I had back in april of this year. I don’t feel like myself anymore and am struggling with a lot of pain, especially in my legs and hips. I think if I could get myself into some kind of diet/fitness regiem maybe i’d feel like my old self. I am 60 years old.
bulls eye is for me!
I’ve been struggling with my weight for about 5 years now. I’ve had some physical disabilities which sometimes makes exercise difficult. I get easily frustrated with my all or none personality towards exercise and weight loss. I need all the tips I can get on how to get started and stay motivated
I need to be a healthier person, so I need to find a way
I would appreciate a copy of your new book. Please see my comment in the previous comment.
I would like a copy of the book “Six Factors to Fit” because I have attempted for several years now to lose weight to no avail. I would like to know my fit so that I can make the lifestyle change. I always start well but…..
I am hoping this will help. By the way HELP!
I found some accuracy in my weight loss journey and your quiz . I am interested in more information.
What a fascinating way to look at weight loss and weight maintenance.
I think I could benefit from your book.
Hi.. I NEED YOUR HELP! I am currently approaching the anniversary of my heart attack (1/4/19) Recovery has been very slow. I realize that much of My Success will depend on my mindset and focusing on discipline. My prayer is that I will find the key to much of this within your lovely publication. Thank you for considering me. I wish you the happiest of holidays at an incredible New Year.
Just saw your segment on WGN and was impressed. Took your quiz and hope to win a copy of your book.
Happy holidays,

I would like to receive a free book. I am 59 years old retired teacher. Have struggled most of my adult life to keep my weight down. Finding it especially difficult now that I’m retired. Try and stay active but do not follow good nutritional habits. Had a heart attack Two years ago
Ii never thought of ‘dieting’ in these terms. Looks like I could really use some help in several areas!
Hello, I’m a 48 year old female who has yo yo dieted along with yo yo exercising. Now as I’m getting older even though i feel like i eat very well, the weight seems to just be packing in. I’m tired of the “diets” that are short lived, I’m need something healthy to help me into my fifties!
Thank you so much for any way you can help!
I want to lose weight for my health. I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes a couple of years ago. I am a medical coder by profession and I sit all day. I try to stay active but weight is increasing around my middle. I detest fad diets and removing things I love from my diet. I enjoy salads but don’t ask me to eat Kale. My biggest challenge is how to increase protein in my diet when I don’t care for meat that much and I will not eat soy. My four grandchildren are my greatest passion and I want to be an active and healthy grandma for them.
I am a 44 yr old who travels 30% of the year. Struggling with maintaining weight, but enjoy exercise. Need new strategies to establish long term consistent healthy lifestyle.
I will be turning 48 in the next couple of weeks and have struggled to maintain a healthy weight. I struggle with the all or nothing approach – I get gung-ho when I start but the first time I miss a workout or eat poorly, I feel like I failed. I would love to learn how to overcome this!!
I am looking to improve by physical and mental health
I really enjoyed listening to you both on WGN just now. In fact, I wish it would’ve been a little longer to hear you more. Your book sounds very interesting and I can’t wait to take the test when I have a moment. The reason I would like this book is I have been trying to lose the weight that I have recently put on due to being put on prednisone for the past few months. Up to that point I had been losing weight steadily over the past couple of years and now that I’m on this medication for a new auto immune diagnosis I feel like my weight gain is out of control & I am frustrated & looking for any help possible to get rid of it .
I have tried everything to put on weight and need some inspiration and help
I get weight loss by watching what I eat but it doesn’t last. Eventually I end up putting the weight back on even if I exercise. I’ve done this a few times already. Right now I’m down to the weight I want but I’m concerned I’ll repeat what I’ve done before and put the weight back on again.
I have slowly gained 80 lbs over the last 20 years. I have tried fad diets to lose the weight which do not work. Looking for some lifestyle tips to help me lose the extra weight and live a healthier life.
I was once a avid exerciser, I used to run 5ks to marathons. Now I work night shift, get off work about 5am. I’ve put on alot of weight about 40 pounds. My sleep habits are terrible. I also drink too much, yes I know it one of my reasons for weight gain. I do try to get myself back to a healthier lifestyle but daily distractions seem to keep me in my current cycle. I do wear a Fitbit daily to monitor my daily exercise and sleep patterns.
looking to lose weight
Thank you! Would love to lose weight this year!
My husband has been exercising almost daily, but has not changed his eating habits! Please help!
I’m 5 feet tall and over 300 pounds , I realize I need to make a Lifestyle change but don’t know how. I wanna live longer I’m 54 and I can’t imagine making it to 60 for this weight I have a special needs daughter , I want to live as long as I can for her. I’m ready for change.
Because of Orthopaedic problems it is imperative that I loose more weight. I am stuck at a plateau. I have terrible eating habits, am busy and live alone. Because of Orthopaedic problems any concussive exercise is limited to minutes. Because of chemical sensitivities water exercise can only be sporadic. I am hoping for a more ergonomic way to incorporate better eating habits.
I am getting older and it is getting more difficult to lose weight. I want to live a long and healthy life. Hoping for helpful advise from your book
I was just waking up from a weekend of binge eating and drinking where I was trying to get myself to mental prepare to go for a walk and get a healthy breakfast. As I watched you explain I did have a ‘Ah0-a’ moment where that it is journey and that anything good is the start of building up good habits.
Where do you get the free book??
This is just a way to build your email list??
I want this book because it is a healthy lifestyle book based upon your life style habits and making you self aware on habits to change.
I think this book is a better way to approach weight control and overall health vs diet book.
Very interested. We are retired with a variety of health problems from arthritis, spinal stenosis, to cancer. We are on a journey to better health & weight loss. After seeing and listening to you speak on WGN we would look forward to reading your book and using it to guide us through our journey. Thank you and happy holidays.
I have cirrhosis and sometimes it’s difficult for me to eat. My stomach is bloated and I’d like to bring it down to normal. I would like your books in hopes of eating healthier. I should be eating a lot of protein and need some guidance.
Hello. I just saw you on WGN and am interested in your book. I am a full-time working mother and have such a hard time keeping to an exercise program. When I do, I find I only have time to get up at 4:30 am. Eventually I’m exhausted and I fall off of my routine which then my healthy eating routine falls off as well. I need to find something that works better for me. I’m paying for WW and not tracking, I have a spin bike in my basement, but can’t find the motivation to do it. I want to set myself up for success to be as healthy as can be and a good role model for my 9 year old daughter. I’m hoping your book can help guide me. I tooknyour quiz and I am high on the Fast Paced and medium on All or Nothing doer. I need better balance in my life. I’m hoping you will gift me this book. Thank you for your consideration.
Retired caring for grandchildren. Need to improve our health to enjoy the fullness of retirement and family.
I’m a 66 year old woman who is dealing with weight gain, and after hearing you on WGN (and previously Dr. Lauren Streicher), am hopeful that your book can finally illuminate strategies that will make sense and be successful and motivating so that I may achieve better health. Thank you.
Sounds interesting. Could this work for someone over 80?
interested due to my health issues. several years ago I took a slip which exacerbated two already arthritic knee’s. I needed to have bilateral knee replacements. insurance issues prolonged the time to surgery by 8 months. I was in a wheelchair due to the pain. after successful surgery , I then took a tumble and fractured my pelvis and tore every muscle associated with my pelvis. after another 6 month recovery time I was ready to start my life.
unfortunately, my husband passed away just as I completed my recovery.
I am ready for a new start.
I tried noom which is based on cognitive reinforcement…… changing behaviors a little at a time. I found the “ lessons “ to be condescending. It tried to be cutesy. They hook you up with a “coach”….. I’m not a “ rah rah” person. I do have to say it did make me think about what/why/how I eat. But got bored. I believe a book may be better suited to my personality.
I am 67 years old – retired 1.5 years.. need to get back into a good health routine. I know I can do it , but need a motivation that will work for me. I was intrigued by your laid back attitude and non- condescending attitude toward getting back to a better health style . I am willing to put the effort into changing my life style . My husband is 72 and a diabetic …not very active , but would like to include him in this new chance on a healthy life style
I’m interested in receiving the free book Six Factors to Fit in order to jumpstart my commitment to a healthier lifestyle. I recently changed jobs, and since then I’ve gained 10 pounds and have struggled for the last year to lose the weight. I’m hoping this book can give me some concrete, realistic steps I can take to manage a more healthy, longterm lifestyle. Thank you!
I have been struggling for years and wondering if the diets are the fad and it’s my mindset that needs fine tuning. Very interested and enjoyed your review on WGN this morning. Thank you.
I want to lose 10 lbs and development healthier routines amid my busy lifestyle

I would like to get a copy of the book. if I can.t get a free copy then where can I buy one. thanks Rob s.
I am interested in a free copy of the book and I need to lose the weight and want to be healthier.
Good morning,
I just saw the WGN interview and I enjoyed their approach. The book seems realistic and not some crazed diet/exercise fad. I was laughing as well as I felt like 5 of the 6 fit categories we me!
I am 54 and married with 3 kids 22,19, and 14 and work 2 jobs and just never fully get into a proper fitness/healthy diet routine. I have bounced up and down for years and I am looking for a practical guide and inspiration that would keep me focused to leading a better and healthier life for me and my family.
The Dr. and his wife seemed very likeable and trustworthy. Their interview on WGN inspired me to give it a try.
Thank you for this opportunity,
All the best for a wonderful 2020!
I just saw your interview on WGN. I am very interested in your book. I have read all sorts of “diet book”; your book seems interesting to me. I would like a copy of your book.
Dr. Kushner,
I’m interested in your book because I’m a Chicago Fire Lieutenant and I’m 2 years away from retirement. I have put on the increasing weight from the firehouse eooking. I need to get back into shape to enjoy my hopefully long retirement.
Thank You,

Hello….my name is Sheila and I am 53 I am morbaly obese and I suffer with sleep apnea due to my weight. I have tried several diets and read lots of books in the mist of it I have loss and gained. Loseing weight is a struggle and I am not a canidate for weight loss surgery due to fear. I would love to get a copy of Dr. Kushner new book. I looked for it at the library and they don’t have it on the list of books and I can’t afford to buy a copy due to financial difficulties right now. I use to work in the medical field however I have an disability which prevents me from working. It would be a blessing to receive an copy of the book because I plan on reading it and following the book to lose weight. I have heard about Dr. Kushner from one of his former patient who lost alot a weight, he recommended me to see him however unfortunately he did not take my insurance. Please pick me to receive a free book I will put good use to it. Thank you very much. Sheila Key (773)355-8477.
I have to find a weight loss program that will work for me & my husband who I will have to drag fighting my doctor recommended the Mediterranean diet which I can do but my husband didn’t like it
I want the book I am trying to get control of my health and to be around for my grandchildren.
Just saw you on WGN and would like to share your book with my mom. My father passed away in June and my mom (already overweight), has been dealing with her grief with food and inactivity. She has shared with me that she wants to try nutrisystem in January but I would like to see her not rely on drastic measures but make small healthy changes that stick with her for life. Thank you
I just turned 50 and I need help losing weight and getting healthy again. Thank you!
Love a free book 3S610 Lorraine Ave, Warrenville, IL 60555
Saw you and you wife on WGN, I would love to try your system. It made a ton of sense
Hi Dr. Kushner,
My name is Jaclyn Rodriguez and I have been trying many diets before and it’s been OK for but always resorted back to the same weight or more than my average or my goal weight I think that with your six factor quiz you look at a lot of overall I know lifestyle, The way you eat it and where are you get your food from so I would like to try your diet out and try to lose some of the 35/40lbs that I’ve gained. I am at the point where Because well it is a total lifestyle change and I hope to hear from you my name is Jaclyn Rodriguez and my email is Jvrodriguez84@gmail.com
I want to be able to enjoy life without thinking I’m too fat. I want to be able to participate in life with my family and friends and be comfortable with myself.
Hoping this will give me inspiration to start getting more active.
I am a stress eater. In Oct of 2016 I had a major accident that required surgery on my knee, no weight bearing for 5 months, and six months of PT. Nine days after my accident my Dad died, followed shortly by my Uncle, and then my brother-in-law. Just about the time I was getting myself back on a healthy track, I fell and fractured my pelvis. As to that incredible work related stress, and I am now 20 pounds heavier. I retired this past September and am trying to get back to the gym, but life keeps getting in the way. I don’t believe in “diets “ but I do believe in lifestyle changes; and that’s why I don’t interested in your book.
I have been overweight my entire adult life. Starting at 120 pounds when I got married in 1968 to 282 last July. I was losing my mobility. Couldn’t walk or stand for more than a minute or two. Now, thanks to Metformin and Phentermine I am down to 235. But I struggle every day and I can’t stay on drugs forever. I need help.
Hello! 3 years ago I lost 50 pounds, and have gained it back. I tried to change my mindset, and environment but must have failed somewhere. I’m hoping that your book will help me identify the “factor” that I overlooked, and enable a permanent change. Thank you!

I am so interested in your book! I am sick of dieting and not loosing anything but 3 pounds. I’m going to take your quiz in a minute, I’m excited to find out where I fit. I would love to win a free book.
Saw you and your wife on WGN, I would love to try your system. It made a ton of sense
I have been struggling with my weight since I was a child. At the age of 27, I was diagnosed with depression but my eating habits weren’t addressed as a symptom. Finally, when I was 45, I was diagnosed as bi polar. But by this time, my destructive eating habits had become a way of life. I ballooned to 306 pounds and could barely climb just a few stairs in my own home. Mental health therapy is helping and I’ve lost some weight but I just don’t have a program that works for me and I jump from one diet to another. It would make me so happy to know what category I fit into so I may focus on what is best for me to help lose weight.
I cry every time I think about the damage I’ve done to my body and my mind.
I found your talk very interesting. I have been trying to commit to a weight loss program, but have difficulty maintaining motivation.
My daughter struggles with weight loss.
She has tried different programs, Weight Watchers, meal supplements, with little success. I have seen Dr Kushner on tv and would love to give her this book.
I am a fellow Niles West alumni!
I am a Registered Dietitian and I am always looking for ways to help patients change their lifestyles and to not feel like they are on a diet. I tell them that there are 3 parts of a healthy lifestyle: diet, exercise and behaviors. I saw the Kushners on WGN and thought that this quiz and book would be great to refer my patients to. Behaviors need to be individualized and it is beyond my scope- especially in the time we get with patients. I’d love to read what the Kushners have to say and apply it to my own life and then share this with others.
I listened to you on WGN you made a lot of sense
As a former athletic person, I have adopted various programs, phases and diets as I’ve gotten older. At the age of 50, it has left me with bad and erratic eating habits. I am hoping the approach you are offering —changing the frame of thinking— can help launch me into better mindset. I look forward to reading your recommendations about understanding my habits.
Thank you for your dedication to the challenges of weight loss. I’ve been on the weight loss rollercoaster for years, dating all the way back to those high school (1970s) days of playing football and the concept of getting fit seasonally. Your interview on WGN was spot on and I think I met every category you spoke of. Busy schedule, absent of much willpower, and absolutely no clue how to figure out what works, what doesnt work, what is just money making hype and what is the best course of action for my wife (who suffers similarly) and myself to try and get this right. Life is short, health chouces can prolong, or shorten it. We want to prolong it and hope your book will guide us to doing that.
m00ster@yahoo.com – I would love to receive a copy of the book because I’ve lost 45 lbs. over a year ago, reached a plateau and can’t maintain motivation to control portion size or exercise to help in more weight loss.? I would like to lose 35-45 lbs. to get back to a comfortable weight.
Hi Dr. Kushner,
My name is David Shaoul. I am a special education teacher for the past twenty years. I workout moderately 1-2 days a week. I know that’s not enough, but my job has so many demands along with doing things for my wife and kids. Lame excuse I know. The Ed other problem I’m from a middle eastern family where” food is love” no more explanation needed I think. I’m forty seven years old and have no health problems other than depression. I take Litium to help with and it doesn’t help with the weight loss either. I’m about 40 pounds over weight and I know if I don’t get in a good regiment soon I feel my health will dry worse. I saw your story on 9 news and thought I d try writing in for a free book. I want to be more fit to be a better example for my children. And motivate my wife to de more fit also. I also want to enjoy my children as a healthy older adult too. Thank you hope the new year brings excellent book sales for you and your wife!!!
David Shaoul
Took quiz and see I have room for improvement
Hello Dr, saw you on WGN TV. Your approach sounds intriguing. I’ve always felt that a life style change is imperative for success. However, my mindset is my downfall. Taking a cold turkey approach has been my SOP with no success. Being a diabetic with high cholesterol and blood pressure I need to get my act together. I look forward to reading your book and moving forward with your lifestyle change.
I would love to have the new book as I have been struggling for a long time
It’s almost Christmas, and I’m hoping to get healthier (and lose some weight) in the New Year. I have been lazy lately, and of course have gained a good 15 pounds because of my laziness, not exercising regularly, not watching my diet, and drinking a little too much wine. I just joined a gym, and although I really don’t enjoy exercising, I love the feeling after I’ve finished. I feel like I’m doing something for myself. I’m really looking forward to a new start for 2020, and I need all the help I can get!
I want to have a healthy life and get fit! Happy Holidays!
Thanks
Free book from WGN!
dr. robert and nancy, your software is totally messed up for a free giveaway.
I’ll just buy the book if i see it on amazon. thanks 🙂
Great test.
My daughter-in-law has struggled with obesity all of her adult life though she has tried to lose the weight and get in shape. Her father had a couple of heart attacks and had stints inserted, he is doing well. This fact and the reality of turning 40 years old in 2020 she is realizing her mortality and she is trying to improve her lifestyle and health but the struggle continues. I feel that your unique approach to lifestyle, fitness and exercise could very well help her succeed.
Thank you for your
Free book from WGN!!
Good Morning, I just watched you and your wife on WGN discussing this book. I am a 52 male who at 6’6” was a very athletic person up to around age 44 and since then have gained weight, struggling to keep it off. 10 years ago I was 250lbs and now I am around 340lbs. I’m looking to gain information and knowledge to help better fit me in staying healthy and losing weight. I believe your book could be a springboard to help me reach my healthy goals.
Thank you for your time
Happy Holidays
Daryl
I am interested in improving my personal health and do not like fad diets and programs. I am looking for a realistic approach to losing weight and improving fitness as I age.
Hello, I was recently diagnosed with diabetes 2 high pertation and high cholesterol I 59 years old and I want to be health for my self and my grandchildren . Merry Christmas
Thank you
Marina Alonso.
I would like this book for 2 reasons. #1. I have young grandchildren and want to be physically active to participate in their play without getting tired and out of breath. When I’m slimmer and fit, I’m more energized. #2. I work with the elderly and see first-hand the consequences of poor nutrition and inactivity. I want to avoid the preventable effects of being overweight and unhealthy.
As someone who has studied personality and thinking styles for much of my adult life, I’m excited to see a lifestyle -not diet or exercise – methodology utilizing similar approaches. Everyone has different motivations, stressors, drivers in life that affect how they approach eating and exercising. When I talk to my doctor about lifestyle changes, all I’m offered is advice on the latest diets. This has always seemed short sighted to me. I’m looking forward to exploring your research further!
I am disabled but can move around. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and other nerve pain conditions. I am 5’3 and 277lbs. I had gastric bybass in 2005 and lost 140lbs (200lbs) but became ill with asthma on steroids and gained a lot of weight. If I start out strong on a diet, by the 2nd month it is over because I become too fatigue. Then it is too difficult to start back up. I am a “sleep” eater and can snack if the snacks are available. I feel good when I eat right and exercise. Please, I need your help to get that nudge.
very impressed at the accuracy. can’t wait to read the book
I took the quiz and interested in learning more.I was successful about a year ago and now I’m struggling again and looking for some help.
Great test but does not address those who do not eat when they should. I would like to learn more.
What does “Your comment is awaiting moderation” mean?
I have done ever diet, live style program since 1977. Ism pretty desperate. I hate being over weight. I’m sick of being a yo yo dieter.
Please help

very impressed at the accuracy. can’t wait to read the book
I saw your book on a segment on WGN last week and just now saw you on WGN morning news describing your book. It sounds very different from other diet books and my husband and I are very interested in trying different ways to get back into shape. We are both 60 years old so we are ready to try something new.
I took the quiz and was pleasantly enlightened! I would love to increase my energy levels. The suggestions are doable. However, as a practicing pharmacist, it is difficult to eat properly because there are no scheduled lunch or breaks in a retail setting. You eat on the fly and it is a stressful job. Any tools or modifications would be greatly appreciated.
Coment 2 of 2
Also, I took you quiz. It says I need your help.
My husband and myself have been a huge funk for a few years. I’m 56 and my husband is 57. Our son and his girlfriend just moved out. Now it’s time to concentrate on ourselves.
The quiz helped me look at myself a little better.
I’ve lost weight in the past, but now that I’m 63 it has become more difficult to do. I have trouble controlling portion size and lack the motivation to keep consistent with an exercise routine. Since I lost my husband to Early Onset Alzheimer’s Disease, I also lost my exercise partner. I would love to receive a copy of your book to get my mindset back on track to be as healthy I can be. Thank you and happy holidays!
I just saw Dr. Kushner on the WGN morning news in Chicago. I am very interested in receiving the free book, I am 55 years olsd and have been disabled for the past year with several issues including, asthma, and COPD (along with other issues). Being on Prednisone (anti-inflamatory steroids) for wuite a long time has caused many serious side effects including diabetes, several stomach issues and osteoperosis. I have lost nearly 90 lbs over the past 1 1/2 years (220 lbs down to 132 lbs) due to side effects of the many medicines I am taking. I had trouble eating for quiet a while, but it has been getting better and able to eat more. I need to put on some weight and am trying to eat more healthy and provide my body with the nutrition it needs. My wife and I have been struggling to come up with a good nutrition plan and I think this book can really help provide me d nutritional and exercise advice. I hope you you are able to provide me with a free copy of you book to help me with my nutritional and exercising struggles. Thank you. Dan Mueller danmuel04@wowway.com

This book offers insight into reasons that people overeat and suggests what we can do about it for better health and happiness. I’m looking forward to this fresh approach. I want this book for a new understanding and therefore hope for a healthier future and more participation in life as well as a longer life with less physical stress. Thank you for this book.

Ps. I don’t know what you mean duplicate when I submitted I’ve never done this an this is from the heart.
Saw you on WGN. Your approach to weight loss & bettering health seemed possible. I’ve never had to be concerned about my weight. But since retiring I’m finding I am gaining weight & know I need to increase my endurance. I’m hoping this is the encouragement I need.
I’ve struggled with my weight for the last seven years during which I topped out at 260 pounds, almost 100 pounds heavier than my weight should be for someone of my height. I only recently got myself down to 195, but already see myself plateauing with 30 more pounds to lose. My concern is that I may be falling back into the poor patterns that started my weight gain. I want to find a process that doesn’t have a predetermined end time. Something that will not only get me to the appropriate weight but keep me there as well.
Hello. I am a 54 year old male and I feel like – no, I know – that I am out of shape. I live in a 3rd floor walk-up, and when I’m bringing groceries in I have to – no, I need to – stop on the second landing to catch my breath. This does not feel good. Up until around age 50 I had always felt fit and trim, with energy and strength. That seems to have dissipated. I know I need to lose about 15-20 pounds and start watching what I eat, but there are so many diet (that word makes me think of kale – which I totally don’t get it’s appeal) books and strategies and procedures and guidelines/rules/laws that it seems overwhelming and unappealing. It’s just too regimented. I mean, I’m not in the military, for Pete’s sake. The main reason, though, that I want to try something new is so that I can get my energy back. I want to feel better. Getting up and out of bed should not be a torture (ok, I’m exaggerating, but you get the message). Anyways, hopefully the information in your book can get me started on the right path to health and happiness! I look forward to reading & following it. Thanks.
I just took the quiz and look forward to reviewing it more closely. My age and health are a major concern and if I don’t start now it will impact the quality of my future life. Thank you for the opportunity to take the first steps for a healthier lifestyle!
Appreciate the freebie–LOVE WGN! Retired just a few years, while recovering from cancer surgery I followed my surgeon’s advice to eat whatever I wanted to gain weight. What a mistake, NOW, I’m heavier than ever! I need ALL the help I can get.
Hi Dr. Kushner, I am rewriting this because I skipped over to the quiz and my comment was erased. It was super impressive to see the joy and excitment in which you and your wife discussed your book’s approach as well as cumulative fitness. I would love a book to help me approach losing weight and getting more fit. Working 10 hours minimum a day at a very sedentary Public Relations job has left me at least 10-12 pounds overweight and feeling exhausted and stressed. As a result I don’t want to work out or take time for myself. It’s important to me to make a life style change as I am an older parent raising a 17 year old son and would like to be fit and vital for his adult years.
I typically start a diet and exercise plan with rigorous rules, like following a macrobiotic regime. or no sugar/wheat/dairy/caffeine alcohol and meat. (I don’t eat meat at all but no fish). Your book sounds like an approach to integrate a more healthy way of moving via exercise and eating without rigidity.
thanks for considering,
Gayle
I have done ever diet, live style program since 1977. Ism pretty desperate. I hate being over weight. I’m sick of being a yo yo dieter. I have done everything every diet plan and here spent more money than I have to do it.
Please help

Ps. I don’t know what you mean duplicate when I submitted I’ve never done this an this is from the heart. What do yearn me to say. My lowest weight as a young Adult was 120. My hopeful realistic goal weight is 150
What comment do you want I don’t understand.
WGN doesn’t usually do this.
It’s that time of year again when I think about changing eating habits and diet. I would be willing to get started changing my lifestyle and hope to receive this book in the hopes it will help me reach any goal I set for myself for 2020.
Thank you for verifying my own opinions as to why I eat the way I do. What I need now is help learning how to control and manage the impulsive eat habits. Unfortunately I can’t afford to purchase another diet book or plan at this time. I would appreciate the opportunity to receive a free of and would happily share my results with you and others.
Thank you,
David Knoll
Thank you for creating a customized, yet accessible, fitness instruction set. I am a 66-year old who, for most of my life, has been slim and active. Now, I am a bit less active (no more tennis, but lots of walking) and seem to be gaining weight, especially in my belly. Aaargh. I realize that less growth hormone could be a factor, but surely it cannot be the entire reason. I suspect I need to alter my diet as well. If only I could do that and be satiated, I believe I would be healthier and sleep better. I am 5′ 2″ and 145 pounds and of Northern European descent. Yikes.
Please help.
I saw you in WGN tv this morning!
I’d love to receive a book because I’m 66 years old and want to stay in good health!
I’ve gained 20 pounds in the last few years and need to take it off for good!
I’ve always been rather thin, but not anymore!
I realize the more weight you carry, it’s detrimental to my long term health.
May I please have a copy of your bill?

I am a retired LPN and have spent most of my adult life taking care of others. My husband is a disabled veteran and for this reason I am responsible for all household chores and his care. This means I don’t care for me. Besides that, I have had 3 rotator cuff repairs, most recently last June. After each surgery I gained 20 pounds. I don’t like the feel of my body. Especially the new abdominal apron ! I truly need help to get and stay healthy for my family and myself. I am not a good dieter.
Hello! I am a 59yr old female retiree who has health issues. High blood pressure and CVD with obesity. I have lost approximately 24lbs in the last year by joining a weight loss program tracking my calorie intake and ramping up my physical activity by walking. I’ve hit a plateau, basically maintaining my weight loss but still far from my goal. Possibly need to take a different approach that encourages me to continue my lifestyle transformation?! Your book sounds like just what I need and would love to read it! I
I hope to receive the book to get started on a new lifestyle in 2020.
Such a different approach to weight loss! You have my attention! Our habits are so much of who we are! Interested in reading your book! Thank you!
I really hope to receive your book to help me transform my way of living.
I’m trying my hardest to get fit break bad habits and stay fit
I have not found a diet or weight management program that works for me at all. I am hoping this will help.
I just saw Dr. Kushner on WGN and totally agree with everything he says. I have just been through a hard family change and lost weight but I’m having a hard time starting to think positively and get into a healthy routine to keep the weight off and start feeling better about myself. I think his approach will totally help me, one step at a time!!
I work in weight management and I am interested in seeing if this book would be a good fit for some of my patients.
I would like the book to help myself and my family members get fit.
I am self employed as an artist and semi retired with a limited income.
*Please ignore a previous form I filled out as I did it without reading the instructions. I’m
only asking for one book.
I have been watching my weight creep up every year and now I need to change things. I can see that I am developing health issues due to my weight and know that now is the time to fight. My best friend is battling lung and brain cancer and I’ve been with her every step of the way. We are the same age (49).This experience with her has made me really look at my own health and made me realize that my decisions now will control my health in the future. I was a division 1 athlete years ago and I know that exersizing is important and I’m not afraid of it. I have tried many times to lose weight but life seems to always get in the way. It’s time to think about me now. I am tired of being the way I am and am ready for a change. I NEED TO CHANGE! I would love a copy of your book so I can figure out what is best for me. Thank you!

I really could benefit from a book that helps me individually understand my issues with changing my habits for a healthier lifestyle. I know that changing things for myself will also help in changing other members of my family. Since I am the person who does the shopping, meal planning and most of the cooking, if I change what I’m doing it will change for others as well.
I have been trying for 3 years to lose weight I lost some weight bur I need to lose more I found out this year I am pre diabetes and I’m scared I work second shift as a par a transit bus driver so my eating habits are not that good but I do have good days of eating right but more of not eating right please help me
My husband recently had emergency gall bladder surgery. He has many complicating diagnoses and we both have tried many diet and exercise regimens without success. I believe your book will help us become healthier in 2020 and beyond! We are both 60 +.
Thank you very much for your important work and for an opportunity to share in your amazing work.

I watched you and your wife discussing the book and the thought process behind weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. The things you both mentioned really hit home with me and has made me feel like weight loss and being healthy at my age is possible and less daunting as I normally perceive it. I took the quiz and printed my results and am looking forward to my life change! Thank you!!!!!
By receiving a free book for myself would help not only myself but everyone in my household. Thank you
I would love to receive a free copy of your book. I’ll be 60 in April and realize I need help to adjust my lifestyle so I can enjoy retirement in the near future. I need ideas for simple fixes. Thank you.
I need a little more motivation to lead a healthier lifestyle.
At work, I average 12k+ steps a day.
Which is good, but I need to combine with a plan to keep myself in a healthier lifestyle.
Hello I was watching wGN today and you peeked my interest simply because I have always been an active person exercise had always been a part of my life then after serving in the military and having a family my life style changed. Weighted watchers didn’t work I joined gyms but didn’t have time to go. I took your quiz and I would really like your book maybe this is what I need you mentioned it’s a lifestyle not diet.
I saw your interview on WGN and your message resonated with me. When I decide to be “good”, I am in the zone and have no problem eating healthy and making exercise a priority. Then, I always seems to encounter a trigger that knocks me off my feet. I am in search of a way to shrug off the triggers and stay focused on being fit.
I’m very interested in reading this book. I am 64 yrs. young and have literally struggled with my weight since a very young child. I remember vividly at age 10 being put on a cottage cheese and fruit “diet”….while the remainder of my family ate “normal” meals. I have tried exercising (at times, to the extreme) . Just a few years ago,for 2+ years, I swam 4 Miles a day, then did water aerobics for an additional 2 hrs, ate one meal a day…..only to lose a minimal amount of weight. My point being, I’m CLEARLY not doing SOMETHING right. I now attempt to workout 3 days a week…1 hr. at a time….eat no fast food..cook all meals at home…to say I’m frustrated, is an understatement. Now that I’ve bored you to tears……thanks for listening.
Hi I just saw you guys in wgn and thought if I took quiz I would get your book for free. But it did t say anything like that. I am confused. I am very interested in your book. Please let me know.
Thanks for this information and a way to a healthier life.
The Six Factor Quiz is Brilliant! I didn’t think anyone else knew about my secrets and painful thoughts
I need to lose weight and be more fit so I’m better able to care for my 96 year old Dad. And I know he worries about me being overweight and how it affects my health and the quality of my life.
Thank you

Great info.
Ever since adopting our daughter 6 years ago I have not made my health and weight enough of a priority and need to get back on track so I am healthy and around to be there for her.
An interested,have tried so many things.Need something that works
I sent a previous comment, didn’t know if it went thru. I’ve been struggling for 7 years. Menopause doesn’t help. Going to the gym has left me in a rut.
I want to go to my daughter’s college graduation in May and surprise her by being in shape. THanks so much.
This book would be for my parents. It’s time for them to have a healthier lifestyle. They’re in their 50’s but it’s never late to start. And I feel like this book will help with that, a lot.
Hello Dr. Kushner!
I would like a copy of the book to improve my health. In addition to having fibromyalgia my neuropsychologist has diagnosed me with executive function defect/disorder – although I don’t like that word. Per my doctor “this type of problem effects various cognitive functions that include planning/organization, self-starting/motivation, remembering to remember, thought organization and multitasking. I think I would be happy if my weight were around 150. The disorganization in my house is so bad I can’t find one clean flat surface to prepare a meal. Thus I eat Marie Callendars and the like.
Your book would inspire me to get back on track “even if it kills me” (I jest) and a better diet would hopefully help with some of the other issues I have.
I thank you in advance for sending me SIX FACTORS TO FIT. Regards, Dia Happy Holidays!
I just finished the quiz. I have to say, it’s pretty accurate. You really have to be truthful about your self. Example: In the past, I used to run, and train for mud runs, 5K’s , and things like that. But now in my later years I don’t do any of it anymore and my body put on 50+ lbs. also my blood pressure is high, and I find that I am having kiddney stones much more frequently. Well, my aha moment, I don’t like to exercise! I used tell myself I did, but the truth is I don’t. I used to exercise for results, Like, being able to compete and finish a event, or looking good while doing it. I guess that was my core motivation. Now, it’s my health at risk. I have to make this change in my lifestyle or I my not be around much longer if I don’t!
Help me I need to lose weight I have been trying for 3 years I was told I’m pre diabetic this year I am scared I did lose 17 pounds but my job is driving so I don’t have time to plan healthy meals
I was so glad that I tuned into WGN on Monday morning and discovered Dr. Robert & Nancy Kushner, a supportive power couple.
I am interested in receiving the book because I was impressed with the six true factors to fit, I agree that all six factors make the whole I was also impress that the book begins with the reader and helps define the end goal to allow readersto know exactly what can be achieve. I decided earlier this month that I must take back control of my fitness so I asked my spouse for a stationary bike for the holidays to help kick start my decision. I was told “NO WAY!!”, because it would be a waste of money. Needless to say, I feel defeated before even getting started, Just hearing about the book has giving me my belief back and I am sure reading it will only empower me to take control
I have struggled with weight all my life. My first diet was started when I was 5. Name a diet…I have done it. I have dieted myself up to 480. I am down to 320 now. That isn’t considered a good thing.
I am currently attempting to follow the weight watchers plan. I had some success a year and a half ago and then stress and anxiety crept up on me during my graduate school experience. Since then I have been struggling to lose weight while on an anti-depressant medication for anxiety, and I need to lose a considerable amount of weight 40-50 lbs. My husband and I are planning to start trying for a baby in about four months or so and I’d like to get myself in shape as much as possible mentally and physically before then. This book might help! 🙂
I need your help with weight loss
I need a plan to lose weight that fits my life!
Hi I’m Deanine. I have been on some sort of diet mist of my life. I’ve tried Jenny Noon ever magazine diet that had been printed. My doctor says my cholesterol is on the high side and would like to avoid pills.
I would like to be one of your success stories
I have been struuuggling with my weight for 5 years. Truthfully, I don’t know where to begin. I’ve been looking for an eating plan I can follow for life not until I reach my weightloss goal. Watching your segment on WGN, I realize you’re sharing what I need. I’m excited for the opportunity to win a book that will help my for the rest of my life..
Please. I’ve written 3 comments they all get kicked back. I need to loose weight for me my sanity and my overall well-being.
So how do I get the book to fix this?

Dr. Kushner,
I was intrigued by your approach of identifying triggers which I know are the cause of my yo-yo dieting.
Thank you.

Hello Dr. Kishner!
I was happy to hear you on WGN this morning talking about your research and your new book. It is astonishing to me how understanding our bodies can be a lifelong endeavor. Only in the past few years, at age 43, have I come to understand that I am a nervous eater, I am a stress eater, and I am a social eater. I reward myself and calm myself with food, and I build much of my social and professional life activities around what I or my group will be eating. This has slowly led me to understand the strong neurological connections I have in my brain that influence my eating habits and often counter my superficial efforts to diet. I’m curious if and how your book addresses this, and I’m looking forward to incorporating your principles into a better effort to get fit.
Regards,
Ryan McGraw, Gilberts, IL
this looks like a wonderful new way to look at modifying the behavior for hard to succeed weight loss candidates and my husband is one of those who really needs your book. We have not been doing well with that and he is a diabetic sugar lover….. Hope I win!
I’d be grateful for a free book! Happy Holidays!
I am 68 and have struggled with my weight all my life. I have my first grandchild and want to be healthy. I have been a member of WW for years and still struggle with losing weight. I need help! Please! Thank you.
I’m interested in learning how to get fit and lose weight. Your book will be most helpful.
Thank you.

Need to eat healthier and get fit
I need the book to find the right weight loss plan for me. I have tried many things. My biggest issue is that I was actually very underweight until I had children. I never learned to “control” myself with food. So, now, it is even harder to start. I was gestational diabetic, twice. I tend to stress eat and over the years, my waistline has expanded. I am now in my 50’s and am miserable.
I’ve been struggling all my life with my weight, I’m 61 years old, 5’ 6” tall and my weight is 310 pounds. I’ve just been informed by my doctor that my fasting glucose is 104, I have a thyroid condition and haven’t been able to lose weight. I was once very active as a tennis player and coach until I broke my legs playing tennis. My son plays college tennis and I’d like nothing more than to hit with him again without ending up in physical therapy. I have a wonderful family and love them dearly and don’t want my time with them cut short do to my obesity. Thank you for your kindness and this opportunity.
Curious about how a research based lifestyle approach will work for people.
My husband has diabetes and i would like to get him going in the right direction. He’s 75 and his youngest daughter got married 3 yrs ago and he’d like to be around when she has her 1st child. She’s his favorite even though there’s not suppose to be among his 4 daughters
The quiz helps me to see myself and understand my patterns,which explains my problems with weight loss. I do lack motivation,I lack energy and I lack self control when it comes to exercising,and eating when I get too hungry. Thank you.
Your methods make more sense than anything I have heard!
I enjoyed the interview with WGN… It made me feel more motivated to get healthier and discuss this with my husband.. Thank you both for all you do to help educate those of us in need.

Simply….The reason I would like this book, mirrors Dr. Kushner’s mission. I am seeking a partnership and a tool to be inspired and empowered on my weight lose journey. After seeing this on WGN I am excited and encouraged to take charge of my health habits. Thank you very much for your consideration and this opportunity.

Hello,

Thank you.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!

I have been successful in loosing weight but am struggling to maintain. I feel my weakness is sweets and have thought about attempting t o give up sugar in the New Year. I heard your interview this morning on WGN and am quite interested in your approach. I plan to take your quiz. In the meantime I would like to enter my chance to receive a feel book.
I need help!
I have been struggling with my weight since I hit my 50’s. I was in a bad accident and it’s hard exer. I try to get 7000 steps a day. Most days I can achieve that on good day. With the price of my prescriptions, I can’t afford anything extra in my life. I hope the Doctor and Channel 9 will give me a chance for a free book to help me and hopefully I will not be so depressed over my weight
As a librarian I am always looking for medically factual books on healthy living to recommend and this seems like it would be helpful.
It is hard to stop eating when there is food around you or on your plate. Each sweet, junk food has its song to sing while things like vegetables make screechy sounds that make you run away. All, the music of the kitchen.
Your book sounds intriguing. I would love to read it.

Thank you
I would like to lose weight, and get healthier. Previous diets I tried have not worked.
My weight goes up and down. I can’t seem to find a diet that will help me maintain my weight. I am hypothyroid, so it has caused me challenges with my weight.
My husband saw your segment on WGN this morning and told me about your book. I have been gaining and losing the same 8 pounds for years. I get momentum and then just, stop. I am a strong believer in the idea that any change, even a tiny one, is a step in the right direction so this sounds perfect for me. I will be taking your quiz and possibly signing up for your nudges.
Nothing is really working for me to lose weight and feel good. I have a lot of joint issues which makes exercise a challenge. I am always open minded to check out new ways to be fit.
At 66 it is more difficult to maintain a healthy weight. I am interested in reading your book to learn your strategy for obtaining and maintaining a healthy weight.
I would like the book to help me to become healthier and better in 2020. Interested in the 6 factors that will help me to be fit.
Being diabetic and overweight, I’m always interested in ways to eat healthier and to lose weight.
It’s tough limiting intake in types and amounts and any help I can get is appreciated.
I seen Dr. Kushner and Mrs. Kushner on WGN
this morning and was intrigued with thier approach to weight loss. I’m overweight and
Obese, looking to loose weight to become healthy and increase my life expectancy into
Retirement.
Thank you, Frank
I saw you and your wife this morning on the WGN Morning news. Your weight management book looks interesting as it seemingly devises a personalized weight management plan which addresses each persons eating behaviors individually rather than using the square peg in a round hole method that most weight management programs seem to utilize. With the new year upon us, I would like to better manage my weight to boost my health and hopefully gain more energy.
Looking forward to reading this book, sounds different than other diet books.
I would like to receive a copy o your book “Six actors To Fit”. I have wanted to loose some weight for years but it never sticks. I have recently experienced some cardiac issues so this issue has become more important to me. Thank you or your consideration.
i enjoyed your interview on WGN. And realized that I need your book to put me on the path to good health. Thank you.
Hello! My name is Carol and I have been a health care advocate and RN community care provider and educator to the public for over 41 years. I also love to spread useful knowledge where and whenever I can every day! Would love your book!
I have struggled with my weight my whole life. Was a patient of Dr. Kushner in 1996 at the U of C. Was very successful but life has gotten in the way. I work 3 to 4 hours a week and know I have to change my workout. I also know I have to change behavior issues. So glad to see Dr. Kushner on WGN.
I want it as a reference for my work with patients who are frequently obese.
Thank you all for the amazing response to our WGN Book Giveaway! Nearly 600 WGN Morning News fans took the time to comment about why they wanted a free copy.
Though I can’t include all 600 viewer comments here, I am copying a sampling below to give everyone a sense that you are not alone in your frustration to lose weight, end yo-yo dieting and find a program that will work for you. This is what the Six Factors to Fit program is all about.
Though the giveaway is closed and the randomly-chosen winners have been notified, I am hoping to continue to nudge you toward better health.
New Years is a time for self-renewal where the best thing you can do for yourself is find other like-minded people in your life (family members, friends, neighbors, work colleagues) who can jump onto the healthy lifestyle bandwagon with you – but not by following a restrictive quick-fix diet!
Instead, make 2020 your year to really get healthier – and have fun in the process.
Enjoy your health and happy holidays!
Robert Kushner, MD
SOME VIEWER COMMENTS:
“This book is exactly what my husband and I need! Weight loss is so individual, what might work for me, probably won’t work for him! Just saw you on WGN and was so excited.”
“I’m a mom and a teacher and always take care of everyone else. I would love to take care of myself too! I want to model for my students and my children that self-care is important.”
“I just saw your spot on WGN and the 6 factors really resonated with me. I have been on and off many diets and nothing works. Your book is not just another fad diet, it appears that it will show me a whole new lifestyle.”
“I want this book because I am having a hard time motivating. I saw your segment on WGNTV and was able to identify with a couple of the factors that you were talking about. I am interested in reading your book and getting to the bottom of why I haven’t been able to lose weight and what I can do to get motivated.”
“Both my husband and I are not getting any younger, and our eating habits aren’t getting any better. We both could use to lose some pounds, and this plan sounds like the way to go.”
“The reason I am seeking to win the giveaway is because I am a new mom. Exercise and strict diet are extremely hard with a new little one. I have been looking for a way to live healthier that is obtainable. I feel like after taking the quiz this book can help me! My fiancé and I are hoping to live a better life for our little guy.”
“I really enjoyed the segment with you and your wife. I have struggled many years with weight loss and would love to try your book.”
“I have no energy and need a life style change.”

“Would love a book to help in my weight loss journey.”
“Loved your segment on WGN and can’t wait to read your book to find my fit.”
“First granddaughter born 1 week ago…I want to be active with her as she grows up.”
“I would love a copy of your book for a few reasons. I am a volunteer EMT, teach full time, and find it difficult to always get the “right foods” when time is of the essence. Your freebies were inspiring, and after taking the quiz, I know I need to shift my mind and my habits. I would appreciate your help!”
Just saw you on the news. Loved what you and your wife had to say. I have struggled with weight issues all my life but am a good exerciser. Would love to read your book and appreciate your offer of giving it away especially at this holiday time. Can’t wait to read it!
I have struggled with my weight for years and I have been diagnosised with type 1 diabetes and am trying to control it with diet. I feel or hope your book will help me to keep my A1C under 7. I need all the help I can get. Thank you so much.
Seems to be a solid work on weight loss
Just heard u on wgn. Would love a copy of your book and workout video
