When I heard about the latest diet to hit Hollywood, I could not believe it! The ‘Baby Food’ diet.

Not only is it an insult to any intelligent adult to suggest that we eat food that babies require ( because they have no teeth to chew food), but to try to label the food as ‘cleansing ‘ is a misleading claim. There is nothing unique about pureed vegetables. Just heat it up and call it soup!

Of course Jennifer Aniston lost 7lbs in her first week on this ‘diet’. Which 41 year old wouldn’t lose weight if they had the discipline to  stick to the calories prescribed for a 6 month old baby?

This ‘diet’ takes me back to when I used to work in an Eating Disorders clinic in England and some of the anorexic women had regressed so much that they were only eating baby food from the jar.

I wonder how following a weaning diet can be explained to young children by their baby food diet following mothers. Surely, the self esteem of women has not dropped to that degree…Or has it??
