Obese Man Vows To Reduce His Weight After Being Rushed To The Hospital Over Heart Attack.

An obese man identified as Steve Beer has pledged to diet and reduce his weight after being rushed to hospital following a heart attack .Steve, 46, who weighs 33 stone, spent six days in hospital and says doctors told him he came close to dying.

Steve said in an interview; “I’ve been given a second chance of life and it’s the wake-up call I need,” he said. “I’ve been told I have to change eating habits and lifestyle and I’m determined to do it. I want to keep living.”

Steve is on 15 tablets a day, including beta-blockers, as he recovers at home.

He has previously had three strokes and said medics told him the heart attack was caused by morbid obesity .

Two years ago, he shed more than eight stones at a “boot camp”. But back home he returned to old habits, including guzzling litres of Pepsi a day.

“I’d love somebody to come forward to help me again,” said Steve.

“If there’s a boot camp I can do, sign me up. I want to keep living and I know what I need to do.
