This innovative and easy-to-use visual approach demonstrates balanced meals with the optimal ratio of nutrients. The plate-by-plate method is rooted in family-based treatment (FBT), which supports parents & caregivers to treat their child at home.

Paired with therapy, this essential guide covers everything parents & caregivers need to know about: 

  • nutrition
  • the warning signs and potential health risks
  • how to talk about weight changes and set goals for treatment
  • how to incorporate structure at mealtimes.
