There are a number of health benefits to eating pasta, which is packed full of fibre and antioxidants.

Although there is a lack of scientific support to back-up this theory, research suggests that vinegar can help people lose weight.

A 2011 study published in American Family Physician showed that consuming a small quantity of vinegar before meals can make you feel fuller, encouraging you to eat less food.

It was widely reported that Jennifer Aniston was one of many celebrities that attempted the baby food diet to shed the pounds for an acting role.

Dr Samuel Klein, Director of Human Nutrition at Washington University Medical School, said: “Food that makes a baby grow is pretty good food”.

The expert revealed that the theory behind the baby food diet reveals that people are consuming food that is low in added sugar, sodium and preservatives.

5. January Jones ate her own placenta

American model January Jones openly admitted that she ate her own placenta following the birth of her son.

In 2012, the Mad Men actress recommended that other pregnant women follow suit.

Although some experts have warned that the afterbirth can sometimes be contaminated with dangerous bacteria, other medical professionals have pointed out the benefits.

The placenta is packed with iron and vitamins B6 and B12.

As well as this, it contains oestrogen and progesterone, hormones that can help you bond better with your baby and prevent postpartum depression.

In a 1952 interview with Pageant Magazine, the 1950s actress opened up about her “bizarre” eating habits.

Not only are raw eggs a great source of vitamin D and omega 3, they also contain valuable fat which can cleanse our internal structures.

Despite this, health experts urge caution for people attempting to try out this trend.

Eating raw eggs can be risky, as it can cause food poisoning, including salmonella and listeria.

7. Kylie Minogue slims using the grapefruit diet

Celebrities including Kylie Minogue and Brooke Shields have publicly acknowledged this fad diet.

The rumour that grapefruit can “burn fat” has been largely quashed by experts, as it can only perform this function if consumed in vast quantities.

Despite this, there are some health benefits of the fruit, which is good for the blood, strengthens the immune system and works to boost the metabolism.

Scott Stinson: Jennifer Aniston and the baby food diet that doesn't exist

Jennifer Aniston, I’ll have you know, is a terrible role model.

There is her willingness to settle for one mediocre romantic comedy after another. There is her scantily clad appearance — sweaty, no less! — in advertisements for fancy water. And now this: she’s taken to eating baby food in an effort to lose weight, leading the Toronto Star to note that “When Hollywood celebrities lose weight, teenagers suffer.” Thanks to her, countless impressionable youths are probably flocking to the grocery store to stock up on strained peas and mushed up bananas.

For shame, Jennifer. Angelina would never do this to teenagers.

But, hold on a moment. Ms. Aniston has denied eating baby food. “I’ve been on solids for about 40 years now,” she says. Bam! Sadly, the Internet being what it is, the denial has not spread with the speed and breadth of the original scandalous claim. Poke around and all you find is story after story that repeats the same rumour and vague suggestion that the actress was put on the baby food diet by her celebrity trainer, Tracy Anderson.

The original source, the always reliable Hollyscoop.com, reported EXCLUSIVELY on the details of this diet, although the trainer in question speaks only of “pureed foods” and says nothing about eating actual baby food out of jars. Nor does she say that Ms. Aniston is actually on said diet. If anything, Ms. Anderson seems to have called the diet a “baby food cleanse” as a shorthand for pureed foods. So bad on her for giving it a misleading name, but boo to everyone else for repeating the notion that the diet involves eating pablum.

So, to sum up: Celebrity trainer is rumoured to have put Ms. Aniston on fad diet. She says that’s not true. No matter, says the Star. “Eating disorder experts say the damage has been done,” it reports.

“My beef,” says one dietitian, “is the message that it sends to girls and women, who are already bombarded with messages about dieting and weight.”
“I think that a rich and famous movie star could choose to have the best and brightest experts advising them on health eating rather than falling for false promises.”

Says another nutritionist: “When stars are engaging in inappropriate behaviours, it has an impact.”

Yes, it is very disappointing she engaged in this behaviour that she flat-out denies having engaged in.

Look, I have no desire to rally to the defence of Tracy Anderson, who seems plenty loopy enough as it is. Check out the diet she prepared for Gwyneth Paltrow (this one appears on the trainer’s own site), which looks to me like it would starve a rabbit. It is heavy on kale. “When juiced with a bit of lemon and agave, kale turns into a sort-of grassy lemonade. No worries if you don’t have a juicer, a blender and a sieve do the trick.” A sort-of grassy lemonade? Sign me up!

But it just seems that if you are going to run a story that says “eating baby food is Hollywood’s latest fad diet,” you might want to include one example of someone actually acknowledging that they do it.

Actually, everything is very simple. The essence of the Aniston diet is the complete rejection of white foods: potatoes, sugar, salt, rice, pasta, flour products, beans, cheese, cream, sweet yogurt, ice cream. To be honest, some white foods are still allowed, such as skim milk and low-fat dairy products (kefir), chicken and turkey (breast), and egg white. And one more secret: brown rice can become an alternative to white rice,

This diet is commonly referred to as the No White Food Diet. But without restrictions, you can eat vegetables, fruits and berries, which will make up about seventy percent of the daily diet. They contain a large amount of natural fiber - it promotes digestion and speeds up metabolism. And vegetables fill the stomach, suppressing appetite. Also, the diet does not prohibit eating fish, sweet potatoes, cereals, nuts, honey.

Of course, you should not forget about water and drink it often and a lot. Since it helps to eliminate toxins and eliminate edema. The main thing is not to drink a lot before going to bed, otherwise swelling will appear on the face in the morning. nine0003

Approximate daily ration:

Breakfast: fat-free cottage cheese with apple jam.
Second breakfast: peach puree (baby food), coconut milk with ginger.
Snack: green apple.
Lunch: Celery soup, vegetable salad with herbs, dressed with 1 tbsp. l. olive oil.

If you stick to this diet without giving yourself any indulgence (forget about chocolate and buns!), then in a month you can easily lose up to five kilograms, or even more. In addition, the “white diet” energizes the body so much that 6 hours of sleep will be enough for you instead of the standard 8-9..

And another secret of Aniston's slimness: she is a big fan of baby food, which sometimes replaces several meals. Her friend, nutritionist and part-time personal trainer Tracey Andersen put her on this. According to her idea, the daily diet should consist of 10-14 small jars of baby food, which contain meat, vegetables and fruits. All this, of course, is good, but following such a diet, the feeling of hunger will not leave you.
