Hatch tells how to survive and thrive If anyone should know survival secrets, you'd figure it would be Rhode Island's Survivor winner, Richard Hatch. Lose 100 Pounds, and Just Plain Live Happily , went on sale Tuesday. Alas, contractural problems with CBS prevented Hatch from giving us the inside view of the Survivor experience. So Hatch's slender volume includes a bit of autobiography, a photo album and some pithy tips for living your life. Make as many mistakes as you can and make them fast.
Confrontation is a good thing.
As for specific eating advice, Hatch said he has cut back on breads, potatoes, pasta and sugar. He described his years in the Army, his stint in New York City and finding a new career as a corporate trainer. The book also includes his explanation of the events that led to the widely publicized child abuse charges filed against him, which eventually led to his lawsuits against DCYF and the Town of Middletown. According to Hatch, his adopted son Chris concocted a story of abuse in order to get out of an afternoon run. Obviously, island living agrees with him.
