The InnerPlate diet is unique in that it's focus is on training your mind - your inner plate - for appropriate portion choice to lose weight and keep weight off. It does this by applying mindfulness principles to dieting, and creating a continuous improvement cycle brought about by that mindfulness.

To this end, InnerPlate.com is the ONLY diet site with integrated end-to-end diet planning, a no-failure philosophy (tracking weight gain still improves mindfulness of portions) and the ultimate goal of training your food instincts- your inner plate- for appropriate portion control.

There is only one commitment with the InnerPlate diet- to track your portions. The continuous improvement feedback cycle takes care of the rest. And with this in mind, InnerPlate.com was designed to let you track your portions in 3-4 minutes a day.

The only failure with the InnerPlate.com diet is not finding that 3-4 minutes a day.

Have a look at this blog post on the first 9 days of a 2 week intermediate goal in InnerPlate.com. You will see how success is being born out of what typical diets would have seen as a failure.

It also encourages separating collection and input- write your portion on napkins and enter at different points of the day as time permits. Don't consciously fret about what you eat- feedback via InnerPlate.com will develop your instincts soon enough such that you unconsciously pick the correct foods. The goal is to not think, and let the feedback slowly encourage you in a continuous improvement cycle that is never broken due to InnerPlate.com being designed to be used when losing, gaining or maintaining weight.

Challenges With Traditional Diets

The Challenge With Losing Weight Is Not What We Eat, but Staying Mindful of What We Eat

Have you ever started a diet, missed a few goals, and then realized six weeks later you had stopped completely? It takes a lot of energy to stay mindful, and it's easy to lose your way.

Another common occurrence - you lose the weight, go back to normal, and suddenly find that 9 months later you've gained the weight back. Well, the reason isn't metabolism, lack of muscle tissue or a starvation reflex. It's the fact you don't have a clue what you're eating and you can't maintain mindfulness of portion choices and their impact. You lost the weight, but you didn't develop your habits or instincts to compensate for the seriously broken social environment that gives us horribly wrong portion cues.

How to Effortlessly Keep Your Diet Top-of-Mind?

The InnerPlate diet starts with the goal of keeping your diet top-of-mind and then aims to train your instincts, or your inner plate, so that once you've reached your weight loss goals you are able to maintain that weight based on habit and instinct. And it does so in a way that with a little effort, is almost failure-proof.

The Solution: Near Zero-Effort Plus Continuous Feedback

With InnerPlate.com, you only have one commitment- to track your portions- and one goal- to develop your inner plate. With the InnerPlate diet it's okay to be gaining weight, losing weight, or staying the same, so long as you track your portions and keep an accurate plan of your entire diet. With that, InnerPlate.com keeps the long- and short-term impact of your portion choices top-of-mind, ultimately helping your instincts develop and guide you in the right direction and towards success.
