Plates with Food

Many people ask us how to use the plate, I have posted this so that you can see how the lines work on the plate and how you can lay your food out.

Firstly, you lay out the protein and carbohydrate based foods, etc Meat, Fish, Potatoes etc, within the lines on the plate. Then you can add all your free foods and fill the plate right up.

The pictures below will hopefully help.

As you can see the plate is full, these are not small plates either, however if you follow the instructions that accompany the plates then you will lose about 2-4lbs per week constantly. These plates help educate you as well. As you use them over and over you get used to seeing what a portion of food should look like.

For example the average portion of Chicken Korma and rice from a take away restaurant contains over 3000 calories... that's 2 days worth of calories in one meal. If however you followed the guidelines on the plate and laid that meal out, you would only be consuming about 800 calories. I have used this as an example as it is the most calorific meal we found during our research.
