Yes, today was Doughnut Day

Doughnuts

and although we looked for secret notes, inside cupboards and dirty refrigerators, there were no CCL treats to be found. We didn't mind though, we had other things to worry about.

Have you heard about the Baby Food Diet? Apparently Jennifer Aniston did it and lost seven pounds in one week. Because we're so interested in nutrition, we decided to take on a little experiment today.

The baby food diet includes eating 14 jars/servings of baby food for breakfast and lunch then a small lean protein and vegetable dinner. Basically, what it is, is starving yourself with watered-down, mushed up vegetables and fruit with no added flavors.

Baby Food

Two employees participated in this investigative journalism. This is pretty much how it went down:

7:00 a.m.: Wake up, get ready for work, crave cereal, avoid cereal

8:00 a.m.: Arrive at work, starving

9:15 a.m.: Get breakfast - Go to the grocery store with coworkers and pick out the day's meals. While we stood awkwardly in the baby aisle comparing sugar and fiber levels, we finally picked:

Breakfast: Apple sauce, Peach Oatmeal Banana, Carrots, Bananas

Lunch: Pears, Peach Cobbler, Sweet Potatoes, Sweet Peas, Spaghetti in Tomato Sauce with Beef

9:45: Get back to work. Start taste testing.

- Peach Oatmeal Banana: Smells: like peaches, but weird; Tastes: like a protein shake

- Green Beans: Smells: like sour green beans; Tastes: like cold green beans with no flavoring, needs salt.

-Organic Carrots: Smells: like canned carrots; Tastes: like watery, sweet carrots

-Organic Applesauce: Smells: normal; Tastes: weird because it's not grainy, sour aftertaste

-Organic Bananas: Smells: like rotton banana bread; Tastes: like sour rotten banana barf

10:00 a.m.: Start first meal of the day - bananas

10:40 a.m.: Want to commit suicide

10:45 a.m.: Finish bananas by literally swallowing a spoonful, and forcing throat, which wants to gag, to open.

10:50 a.m.: Take first bite of second meal of breakfast - applesauce

10:54 a.m.: Throw away apple sauce

10: 56 a.m.: Talk about how Jennifer Aniston is a bitch and how we'd rather be fat.

11:00 a.m.: Throw away the rest of the baby food.

11:05 a.m.: Eat orange, pita bread, hummus

1:00 p.m.: Go to Subway and eat 6 inch Turkey Sub and bag of Cheeto's.

Tomorrow's task: Return the 8 jars of unopened baby food. Remind self never to subject future child to baby food.

God, I want a piece of CCL cake.
