14 DAY TRIAL // The reason for piling the pounds is often the fact that we can’t properly appreciate, or simply don’t care, about the sizes of our meals. The more we eat, the hungrier we feel, which is why, in time, servings in restaurants and even at home have become larger and larger. With the help of the Diet Plate, this will no longer be an issue because what it stands for is portion control made easier.
Restrictive diets rarely work in the long run for slimmers, which is why nutritionists recommend the healthy approach to the war against the pounds, meaning a healthy, balanced and moderate diet combined with plenty of working out. This is precisely what the manufacturers of Diet Plate also advocate for, while also offering a key ally for the first part of the problem: a plate that offers portion control in the easiest, most fun manner.
“Hate to diet? Love to cook? Can’t be bothered to weigh your food portions or count your calories? Whether you like to eat English, French, Italian, Asian or Vegetarian dishes you can now follow your favorite recipes and still lose weight! Take a look at the innovative weight management system called The Diet Plate. The Diet Plate System, created by Kay Illingworth, is the World’s first, original Portion Control method of weight management. It literally takes all the guesswork out of maintaining a healthy balanced diet whilst losing weight. There is no calorie, fat grams or carbohydrate counting, instead it lets you eat all of your favorite recipes but in a calorie controlled portion size. Thus allowing you to lose weight steadily and easily.” the manufacturers say on the official webpage.
Sure, some might be tempted to say, this sounds exactly like any other weight-loss related product: lots of fancy words to compensate for what can only be a lack of promised results. With the Diet Plate, though, things don’t stand that way, as reviewers and health experts have said since it was first released a couple of years ago. The fact with this simple plate is that it doesn’t promise to do anything for us, but rather to help us keep a tab on how much we eat by showing our meal divided into sections and food groups.
Moreover, the manufacturers themselves stress that the Plate should go hand in hand with a healthy diet and plenty of exercise, otherwise we won’t get any satisfying result, no matter how skilled we become in the art of portion control. “Aim to drink 8 glasses of water a day and include 400ml – 1/2 a pint – skimmed milk in your diet. Use a low calorie vegetable soup as a tummy filler for those hungry moments. As a suggestion cut bread down to only two slices a day maximum. So if you’re having a sandwich at lunch this is your allowance. Eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables everyday. Exercise daily – dance, walk, jog, join a gym, swim or ride a horse. It doesn’t matter what you do as long as you do it!” the Diet Plate official website reads.
The Diet Plate “line” (which also includes a bowl for cereals and/or soup) comes in three different sizes, male, female and child. Prices currently range from $18.50 to $40.00 plus shipping, so we might as well give this one a try before we throw in the towel in our battle against the extra pounds.
