According to Jack …
According to Jack Lalanne’s weight gain plan he recommends 3 big meals with a few snacks in between. The modern day “gurus” have simply converted that advice into 6 small meals per day. It’s whatever works for you and your schedule, and for me that isn’t going to be 1 meal.
And for the record, he is known to take whey protein once per day with raw veggy juice after his morning workout. Also, he is a believer in raw milk and occasionally fasts (I think 24 hours with watermelon juice.)
Fats..interesting …
Fats..interesting issue.Before margarines and other “Synthetic” fats were introduced,Americans for example consumer a lot of natural,animal fats.Heart disease rates were extremely low.Obesity and HD went rampant AFTER modern,trendy diets were introduced.Low fat milk,skim?As dangerous as full cream milk.Point is,you have to get RAW milk because-its got live bacterias in it that dont turn the fat into bad chloresterol.Its simple,saturated and animal fats aint your enemy-its the new synthetic ones
@saoirsemd Well I …
@saoirsemd Well I can’t beat those credentials, assuming they are true. Ok, then explain why.
Uh, wrong. From a …
Uh, wrong. From a practical standpoint (not bodybuilding), healthy fat free body mass and longevity are both promoted by scheduled fasting and caloric restriction plus paleo nutrition. If you want to get into a credentials war with references, be my guest. I was a professor teaching nutraceutical pharmacology at a Big Ten university college of pharmacy for 6 years and continue to serve on several editorial boards of peer reviewed scientific journals. Respectfully, you are simply incorrect.
@saoirsemd You are …
@saoirsemd You are actually the clueless one. Granted, too survive, we do not need six meals a day. But when dieting or trying to gain muscle mass, 5-6 small meals is the best thing you can do.
Yogurt has been …
Yogurt has been around for a couple thousand years. I don’t know about skim milk but before homogenized milk a majority of the cream (butterfat) floated to the top of the bottle and was often skimmed off for use in cooking etc. I must disagree about “total calories consumed for the day”. Hormonal reaction to overeating at any one meal necessitates that meals be smaller and distributed over time. You may be right though, that six might be overdoing it.
@buckwheat40 Not …
@buckwheat40 Not likely, it doesn’t take much food to build up a body like he had. It just takes years of effort seeing as the human body can only realistically put on 5 maybe 10 lbs of muscle each year.
Raw milk is better …
Raw milk is better for you and tastes better.
I’m stunned how far …
I’m stunned how far ahead of his time he was. The diet is almost spot-on correct. I didn’t know they made yogurt and skim milk back then, plus other low-fat food he mentions. I used to eat 6 small meals a day. It’s BULL. It’s the total calories consumed for the day. I’ll eat 3 plus a snack now and am leaner then when I had the six small meals. Jack’s a smart guy.
Jack is a good man …
Jack is a good man and is one of a smart guy. He’s a little off, but for this time period he is certainly close.
one of the most …
one of the most important hings to realize that the government never actually admit because there only ambition is to market anything for money is to realize there are no guidelines to follow as everybody is differnet. Its like the morons who try and tell people how much they should eat not taking into account that a 7 ft person is going to eat alot more than a six foot person. its little things like this im beggining to notice about the governments. you choose ur own path
You are clueless. …
You are clueless. We need no more than 1 main meal per day. The rest is minimal grazing. The amount of protein you need is less than you think and is promoted by the industry. Eg, whey is one of the worst prtein suypplements you can eat (high glutamates that fry your NMDA receptors). Our ancient hunter gatherers often went days without a fresh kill. Fasting is a natural state. If you cannot handle it, your insulin levels are way high from bad living.
@buckwheat40 Its a …
@buckwheat40 Its a sample meal plan.
This diet is a joke …
This diet is a joke! This is from the 1950′s, 3 meals a day is bullshit. You need at least six small meals a day. But his ingredients are pretty good. If you look at pictures of Jack Lalanne from the 40′s he had big muscles. I know he ate more than this to get that body
As long as you’re …
As long as you’re eating a balanced diet then of course protein shakes are fine.
None of those protein or power shakes are necessary is my point, only simple healthy food is enough. They’re just now discovering how complex the digestive system is,, and how important it is to avoid processed food, and that goes for too many protein shakes (since they contain vast amounts of sugar and lots of artificial stuff). Moderation is fine, but nothing except Jack Lalaines diet is best I think.
when did he stop …
when did he stop eating like this? i know he juices now in the morning and only eats 2 meals a day.
kinda paleo style …
kinda paleo style diet
no no no, you’re …
no no no, you’re right about everything apart from the protien shake. there’s nothing wrong with drinking them if you’re eating right aswell.
just don’t use them as meal replacements.
it doesnt matter. …
it doesnt matter. eating eggs has been proven to have no effect on blood cholesterol… the amount of cholesterol in your diet does not always correlate to high blood cholesterol
Sorry, when I first …
Sorry, when I first saw the video it didn’t show your comment as a reply to someone else’s. Nevermind, what I said doesn’t make sense in this context.
@XIPM3 You have to …
@XIPM3 You have to be really irresponsible to not know what you’re putting in your blender, haha…
Sure I do. Lots of …
Sure I do. Lots of protein and nutrients also. The point I’m making is that natural simple food (eggs, whole wheat toast, fresh fruit) is far better than processed, it’s really that simple.
Hahaha.
Hahaha.
Yolk is essential …
Yolk is essential for you, quit being a and eat the yolk.
there is nothing …
there is nothing wrong with protein shakes, you probably don’t even know what’s in them.
