My journey to a healthier me has gone through many different diets. However, the result was always the same. Weight loss during diet; weight gain when the diet was over. Recently I declared that I was done with dieting.
Yep, DONE!
I am sick of counting calories and eliminating foods I love in an effort to drop the lbs. The problem with diets is the that as soon as they end, I go back to old habits. I don’t learn portion control, and I don’t listen to my hunger cues. So what am I doing? I am starting to pay attention to the food I use to fuel my body. I am making cleaner eating choices, and changing the way I look at my plate. I am loading up my plates with half veggies, and then protein, and finally starch/carbs.
Guess what? Yum Yum Dishes has come up with a new product to help make portion control as effortless as possible. Their motto is moderation not deprivation. I love that!
You may have remembered my review on Yum Yum Dishes bowls. They made snacking happy! I love using them knowing I can enjoy a snack with less guilt.
Now Yum Yum Dishes is bringing that ease to your mealtimes too.
Introducing the 9 Inch Dinner Plate
Did you know that a typical restaurant dinner plate is 11 to 13 inches? Dinner plates in your own home probably measure about the same, making it a lot easier to over-serve and over-eat your meals.
In keeping with the “all indulgences in moderation” theme established by Tracy Adler, Yum Yum Dishes™ and Tracy have created the 9Plate. This is a 9 inch dinner plate will help you eat correctly sized portions for all meals.
The 9Plate is the perfect size plate for anyone who wants to eat correctly sized portions. The plates are also sectioned and labeled for Protein, Carbs and Veggies to help you eat the correct portions.
If you want to be one of the first to own these great new plates, sign up for our newsletter and we will notify you of their arrival in early December 2011. The suggested retail price is $29 per set of four. (plus shipping and tax if applicable). They will be shipped direct to you via US Priority Mail.
Our very popular Yum Yum Bowls are still the same great bowls you have come to know and love. We have now added snap-on plastic lids to allow you to carry your favorite snacks with you where ever you go.
Both of these great designs come in pre-boxed sets in our four fun colors: cherry red, sunshine yellow, pistachio green and bold blue.
The Review
The plate is extremely user friendly. It is split into 3 healthy categories, veggies, grains, protein. Veggies take up over 1/2 the plate and grains and protein taking up the other two parts.
I enjoyed being able to fill up my plate with a healthy portion. There is also a sense of fulfillment when you are able to finish your whole plate.
I can easily see using these on an everyday basis in my home.
You can buy Yum Yum dishes 9 inches plates today and be among the first to use them in your home and quest to conquering portion control.
