20090035734 | Incrementally-sized dishware system and method of using same for weight management - An incrementally-sized dishware system and method for weight management gradually modifies food portion consumption behavior to provide healthier eating habits. The incrementally-sized dishware system and method includes a plurality of incrementally-sized plates having successively differentiated plate surface areas. Each of the incrementally-sized plate surface areas is successively different by an increment to modify food portion delivery to a user. When utilizing the incrementally-sized dishware system and method a user selects a starting plate surface area based on a combination of weight management factors, and over time successively shifts to plates having smaller/larger plate surface areas. Interval changes between the dishes of the incrementally-sized dishware system and method adjust the amount of food consumed and rate of weight loss over time. Children using the incrementally-sized dishware system and method learn to recognize an appropriate meal size for their body size and weight, and establish healthy eating habits that carry into adulthood. | 02-05-2009 |
20120077154 | Incrementally-sized standard-sized eating-ware system for weight management - An incrementally-sized Standard-Sized eating-ware system and process comprise a plurality of formulas to establish and assign Standard Sizes to eating-ware. The Standard Sizes' total volumetric capacity equivalents are based on a series of incrementally-sized flat surfaces. These capacity equivalents comprise volume inside eating-ware and directly above it. Standard Sizes guide and control amount and rate of food consumed. The system and processes provide a plurality of incrementally-sized Standard-Sized eating-ware components having successively decreasing Standard Sizes appointed to be utilized in a graduated manner over a period of time and deployed during intervals to provide gradual, unnoticeable food adjustment, which enables users to modify eating habits for effective weight management while minimizing the perception of change. Numerical and letter representations of Standard Size and Calorie Density Mark guide users in selecting eating-ware components to maintain, prevent, increase or decrease weight. | 03-29-2012 |
