Diet Industry Newcomer Hits the 1 Million Unit Mark
New York, NY – Portion Pals, an innovative weight loss tool is proud to announce it has hit the 1 million sales mark this past Saturday, May 10th, less than its first year of operation. Portion Pals is fast becoming the “diet” alternative among consumers looking for a healthy way to loose weight. This “new kid on the block” is gaining market share in a multi-billion dollar industry with no National distribution channel.
Unlike other weight-loss programs, Portion Pals doesn’t require high start-up costs or recurring monthly food fees. It takes the guesswork out of eating by providing users with the exact USDA recommended servings for meat, poultry, fish, sides and desserts. The five silicone cutting board discs are easy-to-use, microwavable and even dishwasher safe - clearly making Portion Pals an industry favorite.
We credit our success with our consumers giving great word-of-mouth on our product but have been blindsided with the overwhelming demand from major companies in our wholesale division. We have drug, telecommunication, public utilities, hospitals and even car companies ordering anywhere from 100 to 100,000 units to give away to their employees or customers. We even had a major sports team give away 15,000 at a game says, Mark Jackson, of portionpals.
“Although NOT a diet, the plan is to aid the consumer by giving them a simple guideline that is easily integrated into their overall lifestyle,” says Portion Pals founder Paris DJon. “Our success has definitely been giving people the opportunity to eat the foods they love and therefore preventing the effect of yo-yo dieting.”
