Lifesize weight-control system takes measure of portion control
Jan 24th 2013, 11:03

With two-thirds of U.S. adults overweight, it's not rocket science to conclude that we don't have a clue about how much to eat. But now there's a countertop gadget that looks a little like a kid's cooking set — perhaps not for nothing — that is meant to help with portion control.

It's called Lifesize and was created by Myles Berkowitz, who'd had it with being overweight, and trainer Stephen Kates, who says, "You have to eat less food — that's the whole secret."

"Don't change what you eat; change how much you eat" sums up the idea behind Lifesize, a set of plastic measuring vessels marked for meats, toppings, saucy dishes and other categories of food. Six portions a day, same for men and women, plus a snack are allowed. Fruit and vegetables are generally unlimited.
