Weight Loss Reminder Printed on Tableware

Abstract

A motivational messaging system designed for use with tableware. The system is designed to constantly remind the user at the time of eating to eat less food, eat healthy foods, Push the Plate, and leave some food on the plate. Over time, the constant reminders become habit forming, thereby helping the user achieve their weight loss goal. The system comprises a food plate and at least one motivational image. The at least one motivational image is imprinted on a top surface of the plate, surrounding the food items. One of the motivational images comprises a first message and a direction symbol. Together, the first message and the direction symbol instruct the user to push the plate away in order to avoid overeating. Thus, the motivational messaging system is designed to remind the user to eat slightly less foods and eat nutritious foods by leaving some food on the plate.
