The Jack Lalanne Diet for Fitness and Health
Jack Lalanne is thought by many to be the fitness guru of modern and old times. At 93, he is going strong like an eighteen year old boy. He is so physically and mentally fit that people find themselves being in envy of his lifestyle. There have been many copies of his style, fitness regime and technique but not many have met with success.
He has been concerned about his fitness for many years and as such works out for two hours every morning. His diet consists of high doses of vitamins and foods that contain high levels of minerals and enzymes. Instead of chicken and red meats he consumes at least 50g of soya protein a day. His is particularly against any white, refined sugar in the diet and believes this is one of the causes of health problems in the western diet.
Interestingly, the majority of the protein in his diet actually comes from eggs with a lesser amount from fish. One of the best sources of protein, as well as fatty acids, is fish.
Jack found that he was addicted to junk food and sugar at a very early age, but soon decided to give them up. He turned his energy to health clubs and onto dieting from about the age of fifteen. He does not feel these all low carbohydrate diets are beneficial although he does recommend including natural grains, such as brown rice and whole wheat, in your diet.
He advises to eat at least ten pieces of fresh, raw vegetables a day. The reason for this is that fresh vegetables contain high concentrations of important vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, iron and calcium.
Sugar and calorie rich deserts should be avoided at all times. Indeed, Jack has not eaten any desert for at least seventy five years. In his diet he recommends replacing all junk foods with more healthy fresh foods and processed foods should be gradually replaced by more fish and raw vegetables. Fruit juices are much more healthier and should be drunk instead of colas or fizzy drinks.
Foods rich in oil and fats should be stopped as they are only high in calories and carbohydrates and are a common cause of increasing levels of obesity. Jack's diet does not include any dairy products like milk, cheese, butter as they can cause an increase in fatty tissues and eventually lead to high blood pressure. Consuming water is advised and he recommends drinking at least six to seven glasses of water everyday.
As a testimony to his almost super human fitness, Jack has broken many records. If you decide to follow any of his plans you would be taking a step to feeling much healthier. - 17274
