The Baby Food Diet

Menswear designer Hedi Slimane creates slim-fitting clothes - probably because he is rather thin himself. The Telegraph reports that his 'secret' is baby food.

"The less I chew, the better," he tells one interviewer. Chicken, according to rumour, is his favourite flavour.

The Telegraph writer then goes on to try his own baby food diet.

As I trawl the baby-food section of my local supermarket, I have no sense of impending doom. Fisherman's pie. Vegetable hotpot. Fruity chicken casserole. Banana and cookie crumble. Yes, it's baby food but the labels on the bottles sound reassuringly like real food. Organic baby food seems to outnumber non-organic by two to one.

Hey... whatever works I guess...

The results:

I have lost 4lb over the weekend, according to the bathroom scales. But the inside of my mouth taste's like cat's fur and my head aches. I would not recommend this regime to my worst enemy.
