Incrementally-sized standard-sized eating-ware system for weight management

Abstract

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' total volumetric capacity equivalents are based on a series of incrementally-sized flat surfaces. These capacity equivalents comprise volume inside eating-ware and directly above it. Standard Sizes guide and control amount and rate of food consumed. The system and processes 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, unnoticeable food adjustment, which enables users to modify eating habits for effective weight management while minimizing the perception of change. Numerical and letter representations of Standard Size and Calorie Density Mark guide users in selecting eating-ware components to maintain, prevent, increase or decrease weight.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of applicant's co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 888,975, filed Aug. 3, 2007, for “Incrementally-Sized Dishware System And Method Of Using Same For Weight Management”, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated in its entirety by reference thereto.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to an incrementally-sized standard-sized eating-ware system and processes for weight management; and more particularly to an Incrementally-Sized Standard-Sized Eating-ware System, using a plurality of formulas to establish and assign standard sizes to eating-ware, where 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, and the total volumetric capacity equivalents comprise volume inside the eating-ware and directly above the eating-...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0057]Additionally, weight management processes/methods utilizing the incrementally-sized standard-sized eating-ware system are provided. The first step of the process involves a user selecting a starting eating-ware component, based on the user's weight goals. The starting eating-ware components are selected from a plurality of incrementally-sized standard-sized eating-ware components having successively decreasing standard size. Standard size of each of the incrementally-sized standard-sized eating-ware components are successively differentiated by an increment in order to modify the rate of food consumption and/or food portion intake delivered to a user. The user's selection of the starting eating-ware component can be determined, based on at least one weight management factor. Next, the user utilizes the starting eating-ware components for a designated time interval in order to deliver a starting food portion amount to the user and/or control the food delivery rate, during a meal. When a designated time interval is reached, the user adjusts his/her food portion amount by shifting to a successive eating-ware component selected from the incrementally-sized standard-sized eating-ware components that will deliver a differentiated food portion amount and/or the food delivery rate. Gradually, food portion amounts are adjusted as the user continuously shifts to each successive eating-ware component selected from the incrementally-sized standard-sized eating-ware components each time the designated time interval is reached. Portion amounts and/or rate of food consumption are gradually and unnoticeably modified until the user becomes accustomed to each rate and portion amount and reaches the weight goal. The rate the food amount is adjusted depends on the size increment of successive components selected from the incrementally-sized standard-sized eating-ware. Through continuous use and adjust

Problems solved by technology

None of heretofore disclosed and utilized eating-ware devices and systems allow the user to use a flat surface and/or existing eating-ware unless they pre-measure food and/or transfer it from the device.

Additionally, none of the above diet devices address the importance of standard size of the utensils and utensil-like eating-ware components using standard
