Description: Anyone eating on the run or at restaurants has probably noticed that food<br />
portions have gotten larger. Some portions are called “super-sized,” while others<br />
have simply grown in size and now provide enough food for at least two people.<br />
With this growth have come increases in our waistlines and body weight.<br />
To see if participants in your <strong>Power</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Prevent</strong> group know how <strong>to</strong>day’s portions compare with the<br />
portions available 20 years ago, use the Portion Dis<strong>to</strong>rtion Quizzes and 2 (see accompanying<br />
CD-ROM). The quizzes also illustrate the amount of physical activity required <strong>to</strong> burn off the extra<br />
calories provided by <strong>to</strong>day’s portions.<br />
The Plate Method provides a visual aid that people with diabetes and those trying <strong>to</strong> lose or<br />
maintain weight can use <strong>to</strong> increase vegetable consumption and control portion size of other foods.<br />
Several organizations have come up with versions of the Plate Method. The handout provided<br />
in <strong>Power</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Prevent</strong> contains a description of the Plate Method adapted from www.<strong>to</strong>ps.org/.<br />
Publications concerning the Plate Method are listed in Appendix AE: References<br />
