The Balance Plates embrace portion control, a powerful and proven method for weight loss. Through the dynamic Yin Yang design, balance and moderation is created in your diet.
The plates control your portion sizes and guide you with five sound principles vital for successful weight loss:
- Portion
- Proportion
- Variety
- Balance
- Moderation
Being mindful of these truths brings awareness and inspiration for cultivating a healthy and balanced diet.
How the plate designs measure your meals.
There are four equally divided sections representing fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins, plus small areas reminding you to use sweets/oils/fats sparingly.
Each individual section for vegetables, fruits, and grains is approximately one serving of 1/2 cup of food. The protein section is approximately one serving of proteins. The plate quickly and easily does the measuring for you. Strive for the picture above and your meals will be sensibly sized and balanced.





The Yin Yang symbol has inspired people for ages to live long, vigorous, well-balanced lives. Moderation in all aspects of life is key, and that goes beyond merely diet. You can live life to the fullest if you nurture the different facets that make up the dynamic symmetry of life. Understand and embrace the concepts of balance and moderation that the Yin Yang symbol represents.
Seek balance in work and play, exercise and rest, and emotional and physical needs. Concentrating solely on your work may likely lead to eroding friend and family relationships. Likewise, over-extending yourself to loved ones may leave you exhausted and preoccupied at work. Remember that adequate rest is equally important as exercise in your day...too much of one is not beneficial for the other. Know that devoting yourself to physical/material things can make you long for true meaning. Value, discover, and cultivate who you truly are as a person physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Using the plate will be your daily gentle remembrance.
