Learning How to Follow the Baby Food Diet

1- Eat one to two jars of baby food as a replacement for breakfast. Baby food varieties include carrots, apples, peas, green beans, bananas and prunes.

2- Have one to two jars of baby food for lunch. To add variety, you may want to mix the flavors together.

3-Replace snacks with baby food. On average, you will consume 14 jars of baby food daily as meal replacements, according to WebMed. Each jar of baby food has an average of 15 to 100 calories, depending on the size and type.

4-Make a healthy dinner. For dinner on the Baby Food Diet, have a well-balanced and nutritious meal. Include foods high in protein, fiber, calcium and vitamin D, because baby food can lack these nutrients. A sample dinner is fish, whole-grain rice, green leafy vegetables and a glass of low-fat milk.

5- Exercise regularly. Although exercise guidelines are not included as part of the diet, you should make time for at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise daily, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Exercise keeps you healthy and helps burn calories.

* A variation on the diet can involve eating normal low-fat meals and replacing high-calorie snacks with jars of baby food.
