The comprehensive tools in the Portion Perfection range are the result of Advanced Accredited bariatric dietitian Amanda Clark's 20+ years in the industry. Amanda is the author of Portion Perfection and designer of the Portion Perfection plate and product range, which is devised for portion diets and portion control. Portion Perfection is a balanced, low GI, portion controlled eating plan. Based on sound portion control research, over 20 years clinical experience and presented in a simple pictorial format, Portion Perfection is perfect for all comprehension levels and easy to remember.
Amanda is the winner of the Dietitian's Association's President's Award for Innovation as well as a Baxter Healthcare Award for her ideas.
The Portion Perfection weight loss range includes:
The Portion Perfection Book:
Portion Perfection is an innovative pictorial guidebook showing how much food is right to eat for any meal or snack. The book contains guides for men, women and children with clear portion sizes for 1300 Cal, 1600 Cal, 1800 Cal and 2200 Cal intakes. The book is divided into different meal sections and if your food isn’t pictured there will be something similar enough to compare it to.
The Portion Perfection Bowl:
This is a cleverly designed small bowl with cup measures on the inside, so you don't need to use external measures. Perfect for soups, cereals and fruit, it is an easy reminder of portion size and you can clearly see when you have served a sufficient portion. This bowl is great for the early post-surgery period on 1/2 cup of puree.
Portion Perfection Snacker:
A big favourite in the Portion Perfection range is the Portion Perfection Snacker! Included is our handy guide for 100 Cal snacks that fit perfectly into each sized container. Just snap them all together and they'll go anywhere with you. Made of BPA free and phthalate free strong, safe, lightweight plastic.
Portion Perfection Free Vegetables Book:
A beautifully presented cookbook laden with colourful, low starch vegetables. Suitable for use during Very Low-Calorie Diets (Shakes) and a perfect addition to any meal. Portion Perfection recommends half a plate of low starch vegetables at least once every day.
The 4 Week Weight Loss Menu Plan:
This complete menu plan with recipes provides 4 weeks of balanced eating, complete with nutritional breakdown and portion accurate photos. This unique recipe book also shows you correct portions of the recipe for those who haven’t undergone bariatric surgery.
Additional items available in the Portion Perfection for Bariatrics range:
Amanda has consulted over 1500 bariatric patients and her years of expertise can't be recreated with the same depth of understanding of the strategies for best outcome following bariatric surgery. The bariatric plate was first created in 2006 and the suite of practical tools has grown since then to form an easy system of weight management for general weight loss, pre and post-bariatric surgery.
Portion Perfection for Bariatrics Book:
Amanda Clark knows that when her clients see pictures, they retain much more than when they only hear things or get provided with a written list of foods. This approach all comes together in this largely pictorial book, showing you how much and what to eat for Breakfast, Lunches, Dinners and Snacks. In much the same style as the Portion Perfection Book, showing how much food is right to eat for any meal or snack, this guides you to the perfect amounts of food and the options available for you post-Bariatric Surgery.
The Bariatric Plate:
Designed with 3 simple strategies in mind:
1. Nutritional Balance - fill half your plate with protein foods including red meat, poultry, fish, seafood or egg, the other half is ideally filled with low starch (we call them "free") vegetables with a small, optional carb section included.
2. Portion Control - the bariatric plate is specifically designed to hold the maximum 1 cup of food recommended after all surgeries. Fill with the recommended foods, to a depth of 1 inch in the center.
3. Eating Behaviour - All the prompts around the outside of the plate represent the eating behaviors required to get the best tolerance of your meals and feel maximum satisfaction.
