I've got the tv on while doing paperwork this morning. A local talk show (Atlanta & Company) just had a segment on The Perfect Plate ( http://www.perfectplate.com ) It makes sense to me and so much easier to judge what you are eating. Thought some of ya'll might be interested.
 
Wow! $30 for a plate?

I didn't check out the website yet- is that just for one plate?

well - I guess if it works, it's worth it...cheaper than WW and much healthier than gastric bypass.
 
Yes, just one plate and the lid. As long as your food fit in the plate and the lid fits on it, you can eat it!
