Jack Lalanne has died. That is so sad. He was really something. A really encouraging presence in the world. If you don't know who he is, check out this article. He was one awesome dude. He was DA BOMB. And yet so nice. I bet his wife will miss him very, very much.
Check out one of his best messages ever (and it applies to everyone and can apply to almost any situation):

It surprised me that he died from respiratory failure. But then again, it made me ask the question, "Did he eat a low fat diet?" And if he did that would explain everything to me. I learned a long time ago that low fat diets are extremely unhealthy and dangerous. It is a shame the country is not catching on to this fact. I too liked and admired that man. I remember exercising to his show as a kid with my mom.

Yeah, it surprised me, too. But then he WAS 96 and the respiritory failure was a complication of pneumonia. Lalanne did not eat the kind of low fat diet you may be thinking of. He leaned toward vegetarianism, but was not a vegan. He had to take in quite a bit of protein to support the amount of muscle mass he carried and he got his protein from lean sources rich in Omega 3 fatty acids.
ReplyDeleteI did not know Mr. Lalanne. But his death was worth pretty large articles in German (online-)magazines and news.
ReplyDeleteI liked Jack LaLanne too. His approach was kind and encouraging. Not like these asshat celebrity trainers of today like Jillian Michaels. I can't stand that woman!
