Nutrition Advice From Jack
More classic advice from Jack…
In case you didn’t notice, I’m a big fan of Jack Lalanne. He’s been speaking the truth about health and nutrition for longer than many of us have been alive. In the video above, he preaches the importance of fresh/real food. Eat more fruits, veggies, etc.
Jack has been preaching this message for years, yet there are still people who ignore his advice. When I go to the grocery store, I’m shocked at some of the crap that I see loaded in shopping carts. I’m surprised that some of these items can even be classified as “food” products. Are they really intended for consumption?
Everyone wants to buy a new diet book, but everyone seems to forget the power of common sense. Was Jack’s message really that complicated? It all seems pretty straightforward to me. Much of his message was based on three simple steps.
1. Regular exercise
2. Good nutrition
3. Positive thinking
Invest some time in yourself. Make time to include these three simple steps in your daily plan. That’s it. Make it happen. It’s so easy to do, and the benefits are beyond obvious. Rather than wondering how to make time for these three steps, you should be wondering how the hell you could live without them.
A lot of people complain about life and are miserable all day. If they can catch your ear, they’ll bitch and moan about how bad the world has been to them. They seem to believe the world owes them something. In their eyes, we all should be handed a silver spoon at the delivery room.
News flash…
Life is what you make of it. No one said it would be easy, so don’t expect it to be. Adding the three steps above is easy however. And by doing so, you’ll improve your quality of living. You’ll rule your body, rather than letting it rule you.
Seems like a pretty simple decision to me, but what do I know…

Great advice from Jack like always. The information about eating right has been around for such a long time, which I never actually knew! Suprising what we have all turned into…Well not all but you get my point ^^
wow, i just found you accidentally in youtube. I’m really impressed about your knowledge on training and nutrition as well. I’ve actually included those 3 steps to my life quite recently, and i wanna do it even better in every aspect. And from lil peek of your site I’m pretty sure it has lots of good tips for me so I’m pretty sure I’ll spend some time in here!
Having just watched your DVD for the first time today, one thing that struck me immediately was how similar you are to Jack in terms of how you talk and use your hands. It’s great! The torch passes to you.
It is amazing that Jack had such uncommon good sense back in those days, it’s also amazing how rarely such simply and obvious truth is often overlooked or overcomplicated by so many. The only comment I’d make is that action is far more important than thoughts, so I’d replace number 3 with “positive action.” Fantastic blog, btw, and fantastic site - thanks a lot for putting all this material out there.
Argh, that should have been:
“it’s also amazing how often such simply and obvious truth is overlooked or overcomplicated by so many.”
Edit fail.
