Testimonials:
"I have lost 213 pounds, going from 395 to 181. I did it through diet and exercise. Portion control (thanks to the plate) has been a huge factor in my weight loss. I am trying to lose these extra 30 lbs and the plate is helping me reach my goals steadily and healthfully. The plate helps me portion out things easier. It has helped me immensely!"
Beth Lichtenfels, Indiana Pennsylvania
"I am trying to lose 20 pounds and The Portion Plate is exactly what I need to visualize what I am getting ready to eat and how much I should be eating. I work in the wellness department at Carteret General Hospital and we use many avenues to help people lose weight (Weight Watchers, Hypnosis, ect...). Visualization is the best."
Rosey Liles, Carteret General Hospital
"I'm working towards reaching a healthy weight and have dropped 25 of my 75 excess pounds so far. The plate is immensely helpful as it keeps me honest and encouraged! Focus matters, as does intent. The plate is my ally in resetting my intention on my focus each time I see and/or use it."
Leah Palki Be, Lakewood Colorado
"Meal time is so much better now with the Portion Plate. I use it with my day care children and family. They now eat the right amounts which makes a difference in many ways. They snack less, eat better at meals, and are happier and have more energy!"
Terri Carmon, Cortland New York
"My personal goal was to not only increase my exercise, but not be tricked into fad diets. I know the only healthy way to lose weight is to go back to what we all learned as children: Eat right! The plate gives the visual I needed to put what I knew into action. It is a brilliant way to put knowledge into practice, a fun way to bring health conversation to friends and family, and an innovative way to teach children how to start on the right foot! Especially where in North America portion control in restaurants and even grocery stores is nonexistent. We need to tackle this problem of obesity and it is not going to happen in crash diets, but in eating nutritious food and the right amount of it. May we eat to live...not live to eat!"
V. Corbett, Gordon College
"The Portion Plate is a simple, but great idea. It is so easy to overload a plate with too much food (waste not want not philosophy instilled in me as a child). The first time I used my Portion Plate, I deliberately chose the smallest piece of salmon, and was amazed that it overflowed on both sides of the plate...hardly room for anything else! So I could SEE instantly that my portions were too big. I am buying one for all my friends."
Helen Porter, McLean Virginia
"I am an RN who teaches nutrition to the Department of Mental Retardation population and direct care staff in southeastern Massachusetts. I use your Portion Plate example with EVERY class I teach...it's excellent!"
Candace Miller RN, Fall River Massachusetts
"I think the Portion Plate is the greatest! I can measure my food groups and also I have a full plate at the same time. Using the plate has really helped me control my food portions, and for me that has really been the key to my weight loss thus far. I would highly recommend the Portion Plate to anyone involved in a weight loss program."
Linda Coyner, Buckhannon West Virginia
"My personal goal is to eat healthier and feel better about myself. After graduating college, I hadn't realized how drained I felt until I made the switch to eating more vegetables (but not the 1000+ calorie chef salad served in the dining hall) and lean meats. Now, my goal is to correct a heart problem without medicine or surgery. The plate helps me control eating less of the unhealthy foods I prefer and more of the healthy ones I tend to skimp on. It also saves me time by not having to measure or weigh everything. I couldn't live without it now!"
Katherine Perry, Knoxville Tennessee
