Eyes Bigger than Belly Syndrome means 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 EasyThe plate is simply mathematical, a perfect visual representation, wrapped up in an everyday tool called a plate.

Great for portion control
I recently lost 4.5 stone using a weightloss programme, and wanted a way to help me manage my new weight. One of my biggest problems was that my eyes were bigger than my belly, so I bought this product to help me manage my portion sizes.
So far, I have to say it's working. The diet plate is really simple. You know exactly how much protein, carbohydrates, dairy and fruit and veg are allowed, and it works with all combinations of food. I've been really impressed.
I'm not a huge fan of the design of the plate, and would have preferred something a bit more simple that I could use when eating with other people but so they wouldn't know what it was. But apart from that it is a great idea well implemented, and I am really pleased with my purchase.

Diet Plate
The diet plate is great for portion control. Be warned the meat section is very small, smaller than a chicken breast!
But it works, I have lost weight using this plate.

Portion control
The plate is very useful for controlling the amount of carbohydrate that is eaten, as if it is used correctly the quantity of carbohydrate (rice, potatoes etc) is smaller than I was eating. There is a large amount of vegetables and salad in proportion to carbohydrate and protein. Once you are used to using the portion control you would not require the plate for each meal. Very useful I would say for someone who was used to eating large portions
