Craig How asked:
Overview. The latest fad to hit Hollywood is the Baby Food Diet. Far be it for an actress to need to regress and try to look & feel younger (much younger!) or if there is something beneficial to spooning down jars mushy bananas?
The idea of substituting one, and sometimes two, regular meals a day for the tiny fruit and vegetable meals originated from New York fashion guru Hedi Slimane. The 39-year-old French designer, who has just left Christian Dior to launch his own line, is said to have first coined the phrase ‘baby eating’ by sticking to baby food for days on end to maintain his slim figure.
As noted in Marie Claire magazine Jennifer Aniston believes the ‘purer, nutrient-packed, gluten-free’ pots help to maintain her trim figure; Reese Witherspoon told a US TV show she’s careful to have one adult meal a day. While there is no hardcover of this diet to date, the plan is basically simple to follow; the dieter eats either all baby food or eats one adult meal and baby food for the rest of the day.
Since babies’ digestive systems are so young and innocent, most baby food that you’ll find at the grocery store is free of added fats, fillers and other additives. It’s that simple! No support or website has been established as of this writing. The cost of this diet is the price of the baby food.
What we like about this plan. Baby food is free of additives, (Well most of them) pure and full of vitamins. There are many different varieties to choose from. Many selections are gluten-free for those on a gluten-free diet. The jars are easy to travel with, and make diet prep work a breeze. Portion control is also a snap. The expense of the Baby Food Diet is low, ranging from $.60 to $3. Admit it, it seems so silly, you’re thinking about giving it a try.
What we dislike about this plan. No chewing! I think one needs to be able to chew to feel satisfied. If you are adhering to replace baby food as meal replacements, it is not enough calories a day to keep you full. This diet is so new, their is not much data is on this diet to prove it’s worth a try.
How healthy is this plan? It is not. Unfortunately it is just another Hollywood fad diet. However, if you a replacing that bag of Fritos for a jar of Gerber fruits, it is a positive, healthy modification to your eating habits.
Here’s the Bottom Line Swapping baby food for meals will leave you unsatisfied all day long. Sure, you will lose weight but it will be impossible to maintain the loss and the plan. Using baby food for snack replacement is a healthier option; however, why not use the real plums rather than the pureed style.
