20160117950 | 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 are based on a series of incrementally-sized flat surfaces, and the flat surfaces establish the basis for total volumetric capacity equivalents. The total volumetric capacity equivalents comprise volume inside the eating-ware and directly above the eating-ware. The Standard Sizes are used as a guide to control amount and rate of food consumed. The incrementally-sized Standard-sized eating-ware system and process 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 and unnoticeable food adjustment. The system and process enable the user to modify his/her eating habits for effective weight management while minimizing the perception of change and thereby the emotional impact and/or feelings of deprivation. Numerical and letter representations of Standard Size and Calorie Density Mark are used to guide the user in selecting eating-ware components in order to maintain, prevent, increase and/or decrease weight. | 04-28-2016 |
20140255884 | INCREMENTALLY-SIZED STANDARD-SIZED EATING-WARE SYSTEM FOR WEIGHT MANAGEMENT - A diet management system, including a plurality of different-sized templates, each template having the same shape and defining a size of a food portion in accordance with a standardized eating system. Each template is collapsible for storage and/or transportation, and each template includes an indicia demarking the correspondence of the template with the standardized eating system. | 09-11-2014 |
20140045151 | 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. | 02-13-2014 |
