Power On Your Plate!
Hate to diet? Love what you cook? Want to eat with your family without being made to feel different because you want to lose weight? Can't be bothered to weigh your food portions, count points, or calories. Take a look at this brand new concept and lifestyle pack called the The Diet Plate.
The Diet Plate is a fine earthenware plate manufactured to the highest standards by Royal Stafford Tableware Ltd. It is microwave and dishwasher safe, invented by Kay Illingworth a finalist in the British Female Inventor of the Year Awards 2002. The plate has been on trial with several State Registered Dieticians (Dieticians) and has been acknowledged as a nutritionally balanced aid for dieting. The boundaries designated for starch and protein are an accurate dietary measure and that the plate is suitable for diabetics to use.
The Diet Plate is a revolutionary new slimming tool, a simple method of controlling calories and portion sizes with a powerful visual and practical aid. The Diet Plate replaces your everyday dinner plate and becomes your perfect partner in portion control. It makes losing weight easier to do and as you cut down on the proteins and carbohydrates, which contain all the calories, it leaves space on your plate to fill up on the good stuff, like carrots, cabbage, broccoli and salads. Even better, this way of eating may prevent cancer and heart disease and is ideal for diabetics. Eyes Bigger than Belly Syndrome means more Calories!
Everything today is super sized, people evaluate bigger with better and value for money. This is not necessarily so with food. Large chocolate muffins oozing with chocolate chips may be visually exciting and a delight to the taste buds, but halfway through it, when you really had enough, you keep on chomping because
It cost you moneyIts what was sold as a portion sizeIts too good to leaveEven though all your senses have been satisfied by 4 bites!
What we all forget about is the calorie content. We could have had the same sensation for 200 calories but we chose the bigger version, which contains 400 calories. Eyes bigger than belly syndrome, and more calories!
The Diet Plate has a science behind its development, dieticians will tell you the only way to lose weight is to use up more calories than you actually take in with food.
The Diet Plate is calibrated so that the starch or carbohydrate section will hold no more than four ounces before the food starts to slide over the boundary tape. The protein section will hold three ounces before the meat or oily fish is spreading over that boundary tape. If you pile the food too high it will just cascade over, that is why there are no ridges on the plate to hold it in place. Starches contain about 35 calories an ounce, while proteins can contain 95 calories.
Portion Control Made Easy
The plate is simply mathematical, a perfect visual representation, wrapped up in an everyday tool called a plate.
Product Description
Scientifically calibrated (measured) to give you an accurate portion of starchy carbohydrate and protein foods to facilitate weight loss and maintenance.
No more guess work or painstaking weighing and counting, as it provides easy to follow visual guides to measure food portions. These might include curry, Bolognese, Chinese meals, etc. No more counting calories and points or denial of food groups.
Can be used in conjunction with all other diet plans as it is designed to accommodate all food groups. The Diet Plate® closes the circle on every Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) such as the Cambridge Diet, LighterLife or Slim.Fast plans. This is because everybody at some point returns to solid foods and that's when old habits set in. If you have The Diet Plate® you can follow their programme's maintenance plan and ease back into starchy carbohydrates slowly. Then, forevermore, retain your hard earned figure.
There are no ridges or raised partitions on The Diet Plate® which avoids the stacking of food and false measurements. Its 11" diameter ensures there is ample room for you to eat plenty of 'free' vegetables and not just put starch and protein out.
Can be used just like an ordinary dinner plate. Simply replace your existing plate with The Diet Plate® and use daily.
It is suitable for all the family, including children and diabetics. If you are diabetic it is very important to inform your Doctor or Dietician about your use of The Diet Plate®. Your Insulin/medication levels may be affected and need adjusting. Weight loss must never be left unexplained. Please feel free to refer to our medical advisor Dr. Ian Campbell and his advice.
The Diet Plate® is microwave and dishwasher safe. A simple lifestyle tool which, like other quality plates, should last you for many years if you take good care of it
