My new portion plate


#1

I joined this work weightless/healthy eating program through work called RealAppeal. From the 2 meetings I have been to I can already tell it is another eat less/move more CICO diet plan … Basically a complete waste of my time (I’ll get 200 wellness points through my employer so that is the only reason I am participating). Today I get my welcome kit with a kitchen scale, bathroom weight scale and this plate to help me portion out my food.

I would go along with the bs just to get a kitchen scale and new bathroom scale.

What size is the plate? 9 or 11?

Ha!

What is the feedback loop here?

They send you a bathroom scale (which will show ever higher values on their plan) as a reinforcement mechanism to stay on their plan?

To start, I would stack 4 cubes of butter over their little “Fat” centerpiece.


#5

I believe it’s 11. It’s a big dinner plate.


#6

That is exactly what I was thinking! No height restriction on fat!


#7

Huh, im thinking after I slap my steak down on that plate… theres not gonna be room fer anything else…


(Robert C) #8

That statement has all sorts of meanings - @juice anything - anything?


(Cailyn Mc Cauley) #9

It’s a cute dog food dish…


#10

I’d giggle but it is so very SAD.

Upside down it might fly like a frisbee? (But I fear kids will see it, the brain washing starts early …) So how about a flower pot stand?

Shouldn’t this be in the Humour category? It did make me laugh. :stuck_out_tongue:

Simply a reflection of the fatally flawed current dietary guidelines. If they did anything else they would probably get into trouble!

This is the current madness left to us by Keys and the pseudo science of the 80s guidelines that were based on Keys’ flawed “science”.

Let’s all try to help Nina T in her efforts to get the current dumb guidelines changed.

I mean you can ethically slab a steak on the green side of the plate, since the cow ate the veggies for you, it’s second-hand vegetable consumption after all.

Wow! I know you saw me post before. Our program involves reading and surveys. That’s an expensive program they’re undertaking there.

Not sure if your company does this - we have to have a physical AND a “biometric screening” (so same thing twice) - covered by insurance and technically with nothing actionable except avoiding a 5% penalty on next year’s premiums. It’s a racket.

We don’t have to get scans or any of that. It’s voluntary. I am glad I found something that works and makes me feel great. I am not sure limiting my protein and fat to those tiny quantities would be beneficial.

Just disregard the labels as they have them. Put all your fats on the green section, green leafy and other keto friendly veggies in the red section, proteins stay on blue and cover up the silly middle yellow thingo.

All fixed. Enjoy the gifts, you always need a kitchen scale for sure.
