The Diet Plate

This morning, I came across this story about the Diet Plate in the BBC. Here is the link to the actual website of the company.

Invented by former housewife, Kay Illingworth, it had a hard time getting manufactured. Note: she positions herself as an inventor not a designer -- a fascinating distinction. What I find interesting is the simplicity of the solution to weight management by embedding it in common everyday objects for eating.

So many diet plans are disruptive. Taking out the scales to weigh food, a calculator to count calories, ordering special meals to be delivered, eating only certain foods on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. They do not follow the everyday pattern of people’s lives. The Diet Plate is seamless in that you fix your plate and just make sure that the food fits within the space. I don’t know what they do with the height factor.

I wonder what other examples of health related products are there that are not disruptive but help within the process of your normal activiities.
