Q. Who is the intended audience?
A. This book is for people who feel like they are not as young as they used to be. Stiffness, pain, and lack of energy keep them from activities or feeling as good as they remember. Most people over 40 fall in this category, but younger people who’ve been injured can benefit, too. If you are willing to spend five minutes a day on simple exercise that can be done most anywhere, this book will help restore lost vitality.

Q. What is the book about?
A. This exercise guide teaches how to keep your body fluid with undulation, a smooth motion. The 52 exercises are unique: they build balanced strength and flexibility, rehydrate the discs between the vertebrae, and restore function to stuck joints, which creates a healthier spine.

The Beginning Undulations (including Easy Sway and Happy Dog) are intended to wake up inactive muscles, so the body becomes aware of what it’s been missing. The Intermediate Exercises (such as Mermaid and Tailbone Penmanship) build on the basics and use more imaginative movements. The Advanced Undulations (Snake Charmer and Caressed by Waves, for example) get even more playful, and the Mastery Exercises are innovative explorations into the spine (culminating in Old Faithful).

Q. Why are you the best person to write this book?
A. I’ve developed undulation as an easy, stand alone exercise that takes only five minutes a day. Many of my clients aren’t up for yoga or Pilates, so I’ve taken the essential fluid building component of exercise and created something new that anybody can do.

As a Structural Integrator, I focus on helping my clients regain lost function. Many are injured, so I’ve written a book with a therapeutic focus.

We often think that easy movements aren’t as beneficial as hard ones. However, I’ve learned that what feels good is often the road to healing.

Q. How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A. Although the undulation movement is inherent in other movement forms like yoga and dance, it’s not given the spotlight in any other book. Most exercise alternates between building strength and then stretching to create flexibility. Undulation works on both at once.

Also, undulation movements are very small. Some of the exercises can be done while you’re around other people and no one will even notice. These tiny, slow movements target the tiny stabilizing muscles that many other forms of exercise ignore. Undulations literally bring fluid to places in the body that have been immobilized or dehydrated.

Q. Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A. The book is available in both a printed and an audio version. The printed version is Relieve Stiffness and Feel Young Again with Undulation and the audio version is Undulation Exercises. Both were written by Anita Boser, LMP, CHP with the Foreword by Mary Bond and the Introduction by Roger Golten.

Both have easy-to-follow and encouraging instructions. The printed version includes photographs of regular people doing the exercises. On the audio version, the exercises are set to inspiring music.

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: “Thin People Don’t Clean Their Plates” was written for the person who is motivated to lose weight, but is frustrated by a lifetime of dieting unsuccessfully. This book will help any overweight person learn how to make the same simple lifestyle choices a thin person makes to reach their ideal weight.

Q: What is the book about?
A: “Thin People Don’t Clean Their Plates” is the simple solution to losing weight permanently without diets or deprivation. This book includes an easy-to-follow format that will change how you think about food, beverages, movement, sleep and your body. By following just one or two of these simple “THIN CHOICES”, you will begin to experience an improvement in how your clothes fit and how you feel. Those who choose to follow all 19 of the simple steps to become a thin person will forever transform their life.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: I am the perfect person to write this book because I have the education combined with experience. I have a formal training in nutrition with my master’s degree in nutritional sciences and my bachelor’s degree in dietetics. My experience comes from the fact that I needed to lose 40 pounds to lose to reach my ideal body weight. Frustrated that I knew what I should do, but didn’t know how to fit these strategies into my life, I started observing the habits of ‘thin people’.

These people were walking around in the body that I wanted. I wanted to know what they ate, how they ate it and when, what they drank, if they exercised, what kind of exercise they did, how they slept, handled stress, handled cravings, holidays, restaurants and parties. I spent 10,000 hours interviewing and studying their lifestyle habits.

After losing my excess body fat, I began to teach others these “THIN CHOICES” strategies at our local hospitals. After 15 years and numerous success stories, I decided these simple strategies needed to be shared with the millions of people who are so desperately searching for the magic bullet to permanent weight loss. I believe this book contains the magic bullet and I am glad to be the one to have discovered it.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: No other weight loss book offers the inside information on how a ‘thin person’ thinks and lives. If you want to be a successful real estate investor, you should study what the successful real estate investors are doing. If you want to be thin and healthy, do what the thin and healthy people are doing. It is almost too simple. Diets do not work, but living like a thin person will produce the same results for you as it does for them. It is a way-of-life, not a quick fix.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: I am often quoted as the ‘weight loss expert’ and author of “Thin People Don’t Clean Their Plates” in national publications, including Prevention, Redbook, Family Circle, Weight Watchers International, Men’s Muscle and Fitness, Women’s World You can download a free THIN CHOICES lifestyle diary, as mentioned in the book at www.SimpleLifestyleChoices.com.
