Jennifer Aniston’s enviable figure and apparent recent weight loss have generated a lot of media recently, but she says in a statement for People magazine it’s been for all the wrong reasons. Contrary to reports in the media and regardless of the comments made by celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson, she’s not on a baby-food diet, therefore whatever weight she lost is not attributed to eating nothing but pureed food.

Aniston is now working on a new film with Adam Sandler and Nicole Kidman, “Just Go with It.” Also cast in it is Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker, which has reportedly motivated Jennifer to tone up and lose some weight to be able to face her much younger rival. After much speculation, several comments from Tracy Anderson emerged, apparently saying that she had personally devised a diet for Aniston based solely on baby food.

Unfortunately for those who bought the story and were already considering giving it a try, it was not true to begin with, Jennifer says. “I’ve been asked lately, ‘Jen, what’s this baby food diet all about?’ I kept thinking: That’s the strangest question ever. Sorry, but the last time I had baby food, I believe I was 1. I’ve been on solids for about 40 years now,” the former “Friends” star says for People. This also means that whatever Aniston is doing to look this amazing will probably remain a secret for a while more.

Still, one might as well note that Anderson was pretty convincing in her statement on the eating plan. As we also informed you a short while back, the trainer, mostly famous for working with Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow, two of the fittest female stars around, said that she had come up with a “cleanse” that also allowed for moderate weight loss. It consisted of eating pureed food (or baby food) for the entire day, except for dinner, when an adult-sized meal with lean meat was allowed.

“I developed a cleanse where you can still eat and it’s a lot of puree foods. I was very careful about the foods I chose to put in it. When you do these liquid cleanses I felt a responsibility to come up with something. Liquid cleanses do help you lose weight but you will gain more the next week. I wanted something where you can eliminate toxicity, break bad habits but still have your digestive system going. That is when the baby food cleanse was born,” Anderson was quoted in the media as saying at the time.
