Jack LaLanne - Talks about the best meal plan....

WATCHING THE SHORT VIDEO OF JACK ON NUTRITION DAY IS WORTH SEEING.

In a nut shell, the meals are as follow:

BREAKFAST

FRESH FRUIT OR FRESH FRUIT JUICE

EGGS, MEAT OR BOTH

WHOLE WHEAT TOAST WITH HONEY

BLACK COFFEE OR SKIM MILK

LUNCH

RAW VEGETABLE SALAD

MEAT, FISH OR LOW CALORIE COTTAGE CHEESE

DINNER

RAW VEGGIE SALAD

2 OR MORE UNDERCOOKED VEGETABLES

MEAT OR FOWL

FRESH FRUIT AND YOGURT

ARE THESE STILL A BEST MEAL PLAN?

AS THE YEARS WENT BY, Jack let it be known that he did not drink coffee or eat meat.  He did eat fish so I suppose he meant he didn't eat beef, chicken, lamb, or pork.  Wine was acceptable with dinner.

Brown Rice helps with fighting diabetes.  

That's a good one to know.

Exercise

1) Coffee  2) Sugar

3) Dairy

Milk



Jack was ahead of the times in many ways and he appealed to stay-at-home HOMEMAKERS that were isolated taking care of families and housework.  If my memory serves me correctly, at 9 in the morning his television program came on.  My Mom watched him and as a child when I was HOME from school, 

I watched him.

He was enthusiastic and easy to listen to.  

I like the idea of doing easy exercises in my own HOME 

using kitchen chairs, brooms and towels.

Many of the weight machines that we use today were created by him.  Doctors and so many thought he was nuts.  He was into juicing before it was popular.  

He was one man with ambition to help others.

AFTER TWO YEARS OR SO, Intermittent FASTING does not work for me.  Okay.  I'm one of those that falls through the cracks.  Will try Jack LaLanne's meal plans and see if I stabilize and lose weight.  I seem stuck to stay FAT.  If a woman eats fruits, vegetables, lean meat, and whole wheat  plus exercises BUT doesn't lose weight, which hormones should be checked?  Cortisol???      

PAPERWORK TODAY this afternoon after my soaking bath.  Going to soak for at least 30 minutes.  Isn't that something for setting a GOAL for the day?  Take a SOAKING bath?

Typical Day here on the prairie.  Laundry is rumbling in the wash machine.  Banking Business taken care of.  Medical information taken care of.  Called Mom and chatted.  Took a short NAP around 2:30.  Weighed myself and am getting frustrated.  

Had 2 cups (180 calories) of Potato Leek Soup for Breakfast and three fried eggs (210 calories) for Lunch.  Snack was a mashed up banana (105 calories) to make banana pudding sprinkled with shredded coconut (48.5 calories) on top and iced green tea.  Supper will be veggies and protein?  May have Black Bean Salsa with Organic Blue Chips.  A treat.  Can't remember the last time I had chips.  If not, salad is always a good choice for me.  

I believe I need to rise early in the mornings and dedicate this time to exercise and devotions.  Eat three square meals a day about the same time each day for each meal.  8 for breakfast, 1 for lunch and 6 for supper.  

At my July Physical I will talk to my Doctor about checking my cortisol levels, going off of meds that cause weight gain, increased cholesterols and increased blood glucose switching to something else.  I have greatly changed what and when I eat so I think I need some attention directed to my hormones.  Period.  🩺If the doc won't help me, I need to help myself and I think that's what I am working on.  Spoken like a TROOPER.

Most Gracious Heavenly Father, I will study your beautiful WORD about foods, clothing and attitude.  I so love you and know there is no one higher than you.  You are my GOD.  You are what matters.  Walking uprightly before you matters.  In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
