Interesting… our bloodstream is the "River of life" the Bible says: "life is in the blood"…. how profound of jack to say! I wonder if he knew that was actually in the Bible? (Levitucus 17:11,14)
Makes it even more of a foundation of truth!
Thank you so much for bringing her back! Honestly her interview from the last time you talked with her–was seriously in your top 5 that I've seen over the many years now! I just love her and your interaction with her! "You are the captain of your ship"… I just love that! ❤️ precious precious gem right here! I hope she lives forever! 🎉
Enjoyed this interview Chef AJ! Just wondering if you’ve ever considered using StreamYard instead of Zoom for your interviews. Their layouts are so much better for viewers.
Chef AJ, I never told you I love you, but I do!!! Thank you for all you do and for bringing such amazing people like Elaine who inspire us!🫶🫶🫶
I love that she is a beaming 97 year old who knows balance, good nutrition and no extremes… this lady is not vegan.
I am plant based myself, but not 100% vegan, and really do think Elaine is onto something here…
She has clearly thrived on her lifestyle, wow!
Great interview! She is an inspiration to us all!!
Great interview! I was wondering how she's been and she's puts me to shame and I'm only 60! Go Elaine, Go! Thanks Chef AJ for this interview. Really enjoying it.
Jack LaLanne's shows are on Youtube
Beautiful. 🥰
I noticed that her knuckles are not enlarged from arthritis. I would credit her exercise and food choices❤🤙🏼🌴
I grew up watching Jack LaLane with my mom! He was/still is an icon for us now in our 60's & 70's!! I truly believe it was his show that motivated me to start running/weight lifting at the age of 20 which I still continue today. Bless her! Very impressed with those biceps!
Wuuuuuut???? This is JACK LALAINE’S LADY???
wow.
She’s outliving Jack like a gangster 🙇🏻♂️
The longer I look into this food stuff and listen to these people doing it right, it seems like the protocol is GREENS, a little bit of carbs from the best sources you can find and keep the blood pumping.
I just keep coming back to these flatout wraps with 150-200 grams of collards and kale. Just garlic granules, yeast and lime on those. Burgers. The joy of eating burgers until your stomach explodes is the thing with the wraps.
But wraps get boring and salads are cliché so I save fifty calories and DOUBLE the amount of greens in a giant 2lb bowl of a variety of vegetables if I have some boxes of low-calorie Miso broth (the entire rest of my diet is ultra low-sodium to make room for this Miso broth : walmart baby 🤗). This soup allows me to eat an extra four heads of purple cabbage per week. I’m extremely busy and work around 18 hours per day with a few days off per year. I need that purple stuff.
Wraps or Miso a couple hours before bed is basically the nicest thing about life? I find my current sentiment on this unfamiliar and surprising.
My mornings are spent pounding water, having berry and mint green teas in my black coffee: this replaced my peppermint laté from starbucks.
Berries, purple sweet potatoes, black grapes, beans and Mccann’s Apple Cinnamon oats are kind of all I want. And I want a lot of it : there’s no limit to how much of these items I can eat in a day. I only burn 2200 calories per day. Eating 6,000 calories of sweet potatoes or grapes or oats is no problem.
I wait until 2pm or 4pm to eat and when I do, it’s 250 cals of sweet potato OR grapes OR beans OR watermelon OR berries. I know how many calories I burn per hour (Garmin Instinct Solar) so I wait to eat until yesterday’s calories have been burned today plus a few hundred if I need it and if I can steer life appropriately. My diet is flexible and lets me put the power I want in the day wherever I want. It’s real control. Getting perfectly honest with Cronometer is the icing on the cake.
So when I start eating my late lunch, I try to eat as few calories as possible and stop as soon as possible then not eat until I’ve burned those 250 or close to it and I’ll eat every few hours to keep fresh carbs coming without bringing in more calories than I’m going to burn in the next four hours.
I make sure those calories will power me to dinner where I have 400-500 calories of greens via wraps or Miso which is a few hours before bed.
I sleep like a Prince.
The nex day I wake up with serious power; it feels like I can walk through plate-steel straight out of bed. Nice. But it’s hard to stop eating grapes, sweet potatoes, oats, etc. This stuff all tastes so good, it’s still a problem. As few calories as possible is the way.
I eat in my sleep so I make sure bananas are the only things within reach (they don’t taste that great and volume is kind of King but if I can have watermelon in its place, I will).
I can spend all my willpower trying not to eat in my sleep but I’ve learned to negotiate with myself : I let the midnight snacking take place, I just make sure it’s a banana. This saves me from waking up next to 10,000 calories of non-fat sweet tasty fiberless things.
It just seems like the entire protocol is greens and as little as possible of the berries, grapes, sweet potatoes, and especially JUST ONE serving of the dry calories like oats. Dry calories have to be consumed carefully when I’m fully conscious. But I keep a couple oats on me because the dispatchable power they offer is insane.
As few calories as POSSIBLE. From the BEST SOURCES POSSIBLE.
I’d like to see the plant-based community talk more about the truth on how little we should be eating. As little as possible. Sad. A purple sweet potato is basically a blueberry donut, tastewise. And it’s so healthy and PACKED with nutrients and NOTHING that’s bad for us. And even still : as few calories as possible.
It’s a huge disappointment. But feasting on the greens is the way to recreation and can be insanely enjoyable. I guess it makes sense: we’re probably not supposed to be ABLE to have a month’s worth of food supply just lying around. Feast on these greens, get the energy we need from the best carbs and live in a reality where foods contain fiber ; drugs don’t.
I really enjoyed the dialogue in this video. Thank you 🙏🏻
Lovely seeing Mrs Lalaine. may she live a ling and healthy life ; RIP, Mr Jack 👊🏼
This was so great to see! Elaine is such an inspiration.
Elaine LaLanne is a American Treasure! God Bless You.
What a treat! Thank you Chef AJ and Mrs. Lalanne
La La is absolutely amazing at 97 ! Thanks Jack because everything just sank in to your wifey :)) seems like just a gem of a book….a little embarassing that the host did not research and find that out. I am listening today 😻
What a delight Elaine is 🙂 she's just the kind of old lady I wish to become 😀 this was such a lovely show, thank you so much <3
💗 💪🙌👏👏👏
This was great,ty.
So enjoyable to see Elaine at 97 and living her best life! Loved this interview! Can wait for her to come back at 100! Thanks, Chef AJ and everyone ❤
What a lady ❤
Poor choice of words "that's funny" how about what a coincidence sounds much better
🎉 @CHEF AJ Oh my goodness! It’s Elaine Lalanne at 97! Jack’s? What an extraordinary lady. My aunt was working fulltime into her early 90s, then part time. My grandfather to 90 par5 time, full time until 88. We’ve had some people past 100 being active, and in Japan I have met personally about a dozen active ones. It’s good to see, Cheering people up so much, and probably many people are getting good ideas. Personally was feeling so sad and desperate, sometimes feeling like I want to die, so seeing this and other people pulling through challenges and having some later successes truly makes a difference. Lots of people feeling challenges these days. It’s true about keeping moving. That’s what the family members said who were living longer, active into 90s and 100s. Blessings.
@CHEF AJ You are so prolific with the materials, and what a lovely energetic guest, at 97 years old! Thank you every time!
Thank you so much for bringing this treasure to us.
Loved this video! Please keep up the good work!!!
WALTER
We all love to exercise regularly 😀
It was a great interview 👏
