Dieting on baby food... WTF!?!?!?

[Otta]

Just heard a thing on the radio about a new celebrity diet trend, for eating jars of baby food. It's being suggested that soe women may be going down this route, in order to look like their idols.

When our little one was on baby food, the very smell made me gag, whether or not the diet is wise (it isn't), how can these people physicaly swallow that muck?!?!?

I can't think of anything worse! Horrible stuff. On the few occasions I tasted it to check the temperature, like you, it made me gag. Perhaps the secret to success... the thought of eating it makes you feel so sick that you end up eating nothing?

I guess it depends on the baby food. Ella's kitchen's smoothies (the ones without vegetables in) sound nice. But I remember getting our son a jar of cow and gate pasta sauce (or similar) and he refused to eat it. "look, daddy thinks it's yummy" - I take a mouthful, retch, and agree to give him ricecakes instead.

The savoury stuff .... bleugh.

Perhaps it's the medicine principle of 'it tastes vile, it must be doing me good'.

However, before Twosling graduated to mashed fruit he had lots of those Ellas mixed fruit pouches... mmm, banana & apple, mmm blueberry... they were definitely 'one for you, one for Mummy'!

The desserts can be quite nice actually. Savoury though are yuck!

When I was about 12 and had a fresh batch of siblings arrive, I remember having a heavy milupa orange ready-brek-style-thing habit for quite a while. Yummm

But really when I read "celebrity diet trend" you could have put ANY words after it and I wouldn't have batted an eyelid. "Martian (NOT Venetian!) female pituitary cream you say? I can believe that"

I must admit that some nights I go down the 'one spoon for baby, one spoon for mama' route with the Hipp Organic Vege Lasagne/ Spag bol/ chicken risotto - it just saves me making myself a meal (or keeps me going long enough to get the kids in bed). Pathetic but true.

I also love the Organix baby crisps. Yum....

I do the same, the Hipp stuff is really nice, when you have been at work all day, not eaten properly, too tired to make a meal, ok desparate! and I have often thought to myself if this is the right food for babies then surely it would be better for us.

Hmmm, if it is the right food for babies.... controversial alert!

Jars! WTF indeed ? I would get my personal chef to blend me three trays worth of ice cube sized chunks of food instead if I had the money and inclination towards eating baby pap.
