Publisher's Synopsis
Successful eating plans need to be individualized and take the whole person into consideration. Prior to starting a new diet plan, consult with your health care provider or a registered dietitian, especially if you have an underlying health condition.The baby food diet is based on the idea that eating small jars of baby food to restrict calorie intake will lead to quick weight loss. The original baby food diet, which was never formally published despite anecdotal reports and weight-loss claims, called for eating baby food all day followed by a regular "adult" meal in the evening.This fad diet first hit the internet around 2010 when rumors circulated that Jennifer Aniston went on a baby food diet to lose a quick seven pounds to shoot a movie, at the suggestion of her celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson. It wasn't long before the trend caught on and more people were trying the baby food diet for quick weight loss results.Some people following the diet may eat a few jars of baby food each day as low-calorie snacks, while others might replace one or two meals a day with baby food and consume up to 14 jars a day. While there's a good chance you can lose weight quickly on this diet, you will also miss out on important nutrients from other food groups.The baby food diet is meant to be a quick "cleanse" or reset, not a long-term style of eating. But much like other cleanse or detox diets, it's not backed by any science nor is it accepted by health experts.
