We all see how fit and trim big bouncing babies are, right? I suppose it was only expected that one day someone would see a 9 month old in her Nike outfit and think “if I ate what she ate I may be just as cute and trim.” The chubby 9 month old thighs tell the tale of fitness as she is spoon fed her peas and bananas. Thus, The Baby Food diet was born. Any mom knows that baby food is far from a delicacy. We all have tried a little taste of it and silently wondered how we continued to feed it to our babies. Then we turn the jar and read the calorie content and think if we only had some mashed bananas and blueberry bliss for dinner we would be thin by our little one’s first birthday party.
The Baby Food Diet
The method to losing weight is to burn more calories than you consume. While not all methods of this are healthy, it is the standard. So, when a diet comes along which claims to work and has testimonials to offer we immediately dream of a time when we aren’t jiggling as we walk. However, do not be fooled by smoke and mirrors. You need not resort to The Baby Food Diet to lose those extra pounds. In fact, doing so may be harmful. The Baby Food Diet is low in nutrition. The nutrition in the jars is specifically designed for a baby of 15-25 pounds who eats 100 calories for a meal. An adult can eat up to 500 calories per meal and still be considered to be on a low calorie diet. If an adult decides to trade in stir fry for mashed bananas she will face a nutrition deficit. The deficit will lead to cravings which will lead to binging. Besides, if you were to purchase enough baby food for an adult your budget would go through the roof. Not to mention the crazy stares you would get at the grocery store. Oh and if you are cutting your calories down by eating blueberry bliss, why not count your calories eating adult food?
