Product Concepts

Livliga^® has been created as a guide to support mindful eating with discrete portion control built in. The pieces can be used for any meal and at any time of day, although not all pieces will necessarily be used at each meal. An individual will decide on a menu, then pick recipes that follow their balanced diet and specific calorie goals. No more ugly “diet plates!” Here’s to enjoying each meal . . . and don’t forget to LIVE VIBRANT!

4-Piece Place Setting

The 4-piece place setting is right-sized which means they are smaller than the average dinnerware sold today. Each item also has its own unique portion control indicators (measurements) to guide an individual in serving up the right amount of food as specified by a recipe or single serving noted on the side of a package. All are proportionally designed so when an individual puts the right-sized food portions on their plate and in their bowl or mug, it will look like “enough” and they’ll feel satisfied at the end of the meal.

Livliga Hälsa Portion Control Dinnerware

Dinner Plates

The plates have a wide rim and a well size just large enough to accommodate four icons which outline specific measurements for specific foods. Think discrete portion control and positive reminders for a balanced diet. The dinner plate has 5 measurements on it:

The largest icon designates a 1 cup serving size and is for fruits and vegetables.
The icon with 2 circles indicates ¾ cup and ½ cup measurements, which are typical serving sizes for the starch or grain in a given meal.
The squared-off icon is for protein which will need to be weighed on a scale or is portioned according to a recipe and is typically between 2–6 ounces, depending on the serving size called for.
The smallest icon is a “dollop” and measures ⅛ cup (or 2 tablespoons) of sauce, condiment, salad dressing, dip, or jam. Depending on the recipe, it can also be used for a 1 tablespoon measurement.

Side Plate

This plate is smaller than the dinner plate by more than 2 inches. Though it’s referred to as a luncheon or salad plate, it can also be used for desserts, sides, cocktail buffet, or snacks. The measurements on the plate allow an individual to control the portions of whatever they choose to use it for. Even the space around each icon is a reminder to the user to keep portions discrete and not to pile different foods onto each other. If a person is just having a tossed green salad, they will not need the icons for that particular dish.

The largest icon is a double circle. The outer circle represents a ¾ cup serving, and the inner circle provides a ½ cup measure.
The smaller icon, ⅛ of a cup (or 2 tablespoons), can be used for a dollop of dip, salad dressing, or sauce.

Bowl

The bowl is proportionally right-sized to accommodate two different serving sizes, depending on the meal and recipe used. The designs or “fill lines” on the inside of the bowl designate:

1 cup serving (8 ounces)–This is the perfect serving size for breakfast cereal or a snack of raw veggies or fruit
1½ cup serving (12 ounces)–This is the ideal serving size for soups, stews, and salads.

Mug

The design or “fill line” on the inside of the mug indicates a right-sized single serving amount of 8 ounces to be used for morning “joe,” tea, hot chocolate, or whatever else a person is in the mood for and want to measure.
