Jill developed the THIN CHOICES program after experiencing a life-transforming event herself.  She gained 40 pounds in just two years! She didn’t feel well. She was always tired and hungry. She became depressed and discouraged that, although she knew what she should do, she could not find the motivation or willpower to do it.

Jill realized her career was in jeopardy, because no one was going to listen to the advice an overweight dietitian was giving. She knew she had to do something. She tried fasting and diet pills, but quickly realized these didn’t work. She started slowly, adding a few healthy choices to her life every few weeks. She lost her excess weight in just ten months and has maintained this loss for over 19 years.

Because of her own personal success, she established and led weight loss programs for two hospitals and a fitness center, consulting with thousands of individuals and groups. Her clients comment that they will never starve themselves again with restrictive diets. Once you begin thinking & living like a thin person, your daily choices become easy and your excess weight begins to burn off.

She wrote the book Thin People Don’t Clean Their Plates: Simple Lifestyle Choices for Permanent Weight Loss to get her message to a much larger audience. Since Jill writes just as she speaks, reading the book will be almost as beneficial as sitting in her audience. Readers of the book report feeling as if Jill is speaking directly to them through her writing.

You will begin to apply the Thin Choices strategies the day you start reading. Most will lose weight with the addition of only one or two of these strategies. The more strategies you add, the easier it is for your body to release its excess fat. The weight you lose will be permanent; as you should only make the changes that, you know you can do forever.

This book is so much more than just another diet book. This book will change your life. It is not a short term, quick fix weight loss plan. It is a new way of thinking and living. Jill gives you the secrets your thin friends have known for years. The best part is that it is going to be easier than you think. You will never diet or deprive yourself of your favorite foods again. Jill states that diets don’t work, but making better lifestyle choices does.

Jill says the most important question to ask, when thinking about starting a new weight loss program is, “Can I follow this program forever?” If the answer is no, do not even start it. You will only be setting yourself up for failure once you return to your old habits. This “on-again, off-again” diet mentality prevents you from losing weight permanently. Stop this crazy weight loss roller coaster and begin living like a thin person today.

Jill lives in Wisconsin with her husband and three children. She loves to cook, eat, play tennis, ride a bike, and water ski. Her favorite pastime is reading books while drinking great coffee in bookstores.
