The Healthy Portion Plate
While most of us know the basics about nutrition, it’s just as important to evaluate how much you eat. Our average portion sizes as a nation have been increasing over recent decades, and it’s very easy to overeat when oversized portions are all around us. But, you can now get the help you need!
The Healthy Portion Plate is split into measured sections to help you control your portion sizes. It will help you make simple lifestyle changes that will make your diet healthier and help you lose weight. Here’s how the plate works:
½ the plate is for salad or vegetables
¼ of the plate is for pasta, rice or potatoes
¼ of the plate is for poultry, meat or fish.
The Healthy Portion Plate is being used by thousands of people, the NHS and other health professionals - We’re seeing some fantastic weight loss results so why not give it a try yourself?
We now have two designs available - For more information please visit our website www.thehealthyportionplate.com or call us on 01252 843149.
