YouTuber Michael Alves has detailed what happened to his body after living off nothing but baby-oriented food and liquids for a week.

From San Diego, the 26-year-old went viral for this odd dietary experiment, claiming he'd shed a substantial amount of weight, having started at 18 stone 2 pounds.

In a video (uploaded to his channel 'Killdozer') that's been viewed more than 830,000 times, Michael laid out the non-negotiables for his challenge.

Made specifically for babies or toddlers, the drinks he consumed must be distributed in child-sized bottles, while all of his meals must be enjoyed with corresponding utensils.

This included a cow-shaped spork, because why the heck not?

At the end of his five-day venture, Michael supposedly dropped down to 17st 10lb, commenting that the experience made him feel forever hungry and even physically unwell.

"This challenge sucks," he said at one point. "I really don't want to eat any more baby food."

He was optimistic to begin with, though, claiming baby food 'must have loads of protein because children need protein... I think'.

Things soon went south when he journeyed to a Target to check out the baby aisle.

"There's no protein in anything here. Do babies not need protein?" the YouTuber questioned.

Across the weekdays, Michael tucked into snacks, infant formula and meat purées - many of which forced him to recoil upon sampling.

The mashed carrots in particular were 'diabolical,' as he explained: "Zero flavour at all. And they almost melt immediately in your mouth."

Macaroni and cheese was at least a minor upgrade, although Alves did go on to complain: "The noodles immediately disintegrate... and the cheese? Not very flavourful."

As for the infant formula drink, after one sip he was comparing it to 'poison'.

Michael found solace in the mashed potatoes with beef and gravy, though, commenting with faint praise: "It still tastes like baby food, but it also does taste like beef. So it's a double whammy."

"This further supports my theory that babies are aliens from another planet and their taste buds are not there," he pointed out, before awarding the garden salsa puff crisps a 9.2 out of 10 rating - the best thing he munched overall.

As he wasted away on sprog mush, Michael worked out regularly in order to combat the calorie deficiencies.

Alongside gym sessions, he hiked wearing a weighted vest and enjoyed long walks with his wife Jessica.

But despite being 6lb lighter by the experiment's conclusion, Michael suspected it was mainly water loss and not fat-based as his body continuously burned through its energy reserves.

"I'm starving," he commented at the end of Day Five, as the flavour void made it impossible for him to overindulge.

3/10 was the final score he gave his baby diet.

"If I didn't have the snacks or Pedialyte [baby formula rehydration drinks], it would've been a one," he later announced.

"Even the formula tastes like poison. What are we giving our kids?"

Meanwhile, as a reward to himself, Michael finished off his hellish week by chomping down on a burrito, quipping: "We've got to start giving these to babies."
