    The baby food diet probably does work, and you most likely will loose weight. But is it really a way to live? I couldn't imagine living on baby food! hahah!

    Maybe baby food is perfect for you. You should try it out. Only drawback is it's relatively expensive mush.

    I love the 'puddings' which are just fruit puree, especially when i was struggling with food, i did lose weight. Can't imaging wanting to eat the main meals though. THey sound and smell bad!

    Lol... The sheer amount of dumb ideas on this website is mind-boggling...

    Baby food is VERY high in calories - it's supposed to be because babies NEED to put on weight and grow.

    For the price of a "Meal's worth" of baby food, you could make a phenomenal salad that would fill you up, be very healthy, and NOT make you look completely crazy while you're eating it...

    Baby food diet... Lol...

    Jeez! just learn to eat REAL food and stop that crazy nonsense of starving yourself at 700-1000 cals a day.

    i ... um.... ew.

    I refused to feed that stuff to my own kids. I sure as heck don't want to eat it myself.

    Ok sounds random but i decided to buy biscuits for babies due to them being low cal/fat and they also have some vits/iron which i need
    they're pretty good! And i've heard of celebrities doing baby food diets where they just eat baby food or replace a meal with baby food and was wondering has anyone tried it? Does it work? Do they actually taste nice? (considering the jar food doesn't look pretty- although it's tempting to try the puddings! haha)
    I'm trying to eat between 700-1000 cals a day & Before anyone shouts at me i'm not very active, i just do at least my 30 day shred a day and i'm very small haha I just want to be petite than small and pudgy/fat
    Thanks guys! :)

    You're not eating enough by far, if you keep eating at that level, you'll seriously damage your health, and you are highly unlikely to achieve the look you're after as you'll be losing plenty of lean mass along the way. And yeah - baby food diets? Very bad idea.

    I ate baby food once. Then I got my teeth and advanced to grownup food.

    All baby food really is is stuff you can buy and make yourself, like mashed sweet potatoes or carrots or peas, applesauce and other pureed fruits, but I personally think whole fruits and vegs are better, don't you? and the ones with meat in them are really low quality, you're better off making your own beef stew or turkey or pasta with chicken. It'll taste better and be better for you.

    Baby food?

    I thought the title of this thread was asking if babies were ok to eat.

    I am more than relieved to see that is not the case.

    If you get 'em before they start rolling over, it'd be like veal.

    It's bad enough I pay a load of money for babyfood. I'd never steal it from my baby, lol. I'll admit as a kid I used to love stealing my little brother's banana baby food.

    Agree, thought it was gonna be a Gerber/processed baby food VS make your own thread :huh:

    thanks so much! I know it sounds crazy but the biscuits are better than like a digestive for me haha
    This is what i wanted to know :) not sure what a phenomenal salad is but i'll try that :)

    & before anyone jumps down my throat again for low cals i have bad eating to not eat much or emotional eat due to problems and i'm not even 5 foot so don't tell me i'm 'starving' myself cause i can function fine and i'm VERY short and i have personal problems. people shouldn't assume things. This is really difficult for me.
    & before anyone says anything else, i should be sorting myself out soon with help of Dr's
    Thanks everyone for your responses :)

    im like you, 5'1 naturally petite, but im eating way more than you, take a look at my diary having tried baby food. (feeding younger cousins) that stuff is not nice not the jar stuff. while im sure you'll lose weight. im not sure you'll be able to make this sustainable which is what this is all about. good luck.

    700 - 1000 calories is the dumbest thing you've said in this entire post. I'm not psychic but in the future you're going to wonder why you can't lose weight. When that happens, come back to this post.

    If you're really trying to get help, the "inspirational" pictures you have on your profile probably aren't helpful.

    I would not eat the baby savoury meals as they taste disgusting, i have tried some of the fruit puree desserts and the carrot stick snack things they taste fairly good, but they are expensive and i'm sure you can make something nice yourself, the only reason i have tried them before is i work with children, lol

    I'm all for the baby food diet and ignoring these people as long as you post a vid of you doing the airplane to yourself... "vvvvrrreeeeoooommmm!!!"

    considering how baby food is really just the concept of mushed up normal food (the idea is there, but there are FAR too many chemicals and additives to be normal!) you may as well just portion and puree your own food. you'll save tons more money that way. probably tastes like food too instead of funky mush. really, the only benefit to eating jarred baby food is the size of the jar. get some shot glasses and make up a meatloaf/greenbean/mashed potato smoothie or two. your problem is solved.

    I swear that about 95% of MFP either has an eating disorder or has generally disordered thinking about food...it's really ****in' sad because you can eat really nutritiously and really deliciously at the same time...they're not mutually exclusive. Most people can eat way more than they think they can and still lose weight too...just sad...and a little depressing.

    I think part of the problem is that some come on here thinking all they have to do is count calories and don't want to put in the work to do any kind of research on a food plan that will help them stay on track and at their goal for the long run but will believe and try any kind of quick fix no matter how ridiculous it sounds.

    so much this

    and not just this thread. everywhere.

    and then people get all offended and upset and accuse you of judging them when you try to tell them "it doesn't have to be like this" *sigh*
