Portion Control Plate

I found this link,http://www.theportionplate.com/enlargedplate.html

Hope the link works. Thought is was interesting in light of most of us trying to shed a few. Would this work though? Hum. It would keep you "honest" about portion sizes-at least for awhile!}( I noticed there wasn't a section on the plate for peanut butter cups or Milky Ways, so not sure if I am sold just yet!

Thoughts?
 
This is really neat! And they didn't say anything about stacking it high did they?}( :9

Like you said though, if I'd keep it honest, it would work great!
 
Very cool! Not sure I can afford a full set tho- I dont want to actually have to wash dishes every day!}(
 
I bought something similar from Wal-mart. 4/$1 My plates are portioned to 60%, 25%, 15% or thereabout. I fill the 60% with veggies. Holds about 8 oz of steamed veggies. The 25% gets protein. The 15% gets the pasta. I make a regular dinner for my husband and I use my portion plate. Works wonderfully and mine you can't stack high. Just doesn't work. I found my dishes in the picnic section this summer. Don't know if they're still around, but might be.

I still tend to weigh everything on my scale so I can accurate report it in my sparkpeople.com account, but I am much less tempted to put a little more pasta on my plate as the pasta slides out of its slot.
