Jan 4 Baby Food Diet

Today is going much better than yesterday. I started eating at 9:00 and have eaten every hour to two hours so far. This is going to be important while on this diet.

Today I tried:
Gerber Organic Pear Juice - Very Good
Earth's Best First Sweet Potatoes - Disgusting (I only ate 1/2)
Earth's Best Stage 2 Apples & Blueberries - Ok. I could eat it again.
Gerber Peach Cobbler Dessert - My favorite so far
Gerber Graduates Strawberry Ceral Twist - Very Good and I get to chew
Gerber Biter Cookie - Ok but chewing is more important than I realized so this satisfies that urge. I wonder if gum would help with wanting to chew?

All the above totals less than 300 calories and I'm not hungry at all. I would have normally had 1000 calories by now. This diet does help me eat less even though it's probably the craziest diet I've been on and it's mushed up fruits so it's far from the worst diet I've been on.

I will eat the following before the day is up:
Gerber Banana Oatmeal with 1/2 tsp of raw cane sugar (made with 2% milk)
Gerber Graduates Chewy Granola Bar
Gerber Graduates Strawberry Blueberry Cereal Twist
Beech Nut Stage 1 Bananas
Beech Nut Stage 2 Banana Apple Yogurt
I'm going to try out Butternut Squash but I'm sure it will be disgusting.

This will leave around 500 calories for regular dinner with my family.

Jan 3, 2010 Baby Food Diet

Today was a lot like day #1 except at the end of the day, I had to eat real food. The meat baby food and the vegetable baby foods are just not edible so I think for this diet to work, at least 1 meal needs to be eaten. I've decided to use 500 calories per day for real food and the other 700 calories will be in baby food. This still makes me have to eat about 10 baby food items during the day which I think will cut back on urges to eat other foods. I learned today that it is very important to eat every 1-2 hours. When I went longer than that, I got hungry and had cravings. The trick is never to get that feeling of hunger.

I added Gerber Banana Oatmeal today. It is very good and is probably my favorite. I again added 1/2 tsp of raw cane sugar which adds about 10 calories but makes it crunchier and taste better.

I've tried every kind of meat and they are all disgusting. If I was going to eat something I didn't like, I'd just eat real fruit so I'm going to stick from now on with the baby food items that I enjoy eating and if I find one that I can't eat, I will get another one out of the cabinet instead of skipping that meal.
