I was going to say hers and Marilyn’s what they eat in a day is probably very accurate to the calorie intake of ppl in similar positions today. They’re honest about it because back then they could be. Now it would be appalling
Jackie Kennedy and her husband were also on amphetimines also. She would never allow pictures of her ever smoking. Dexedrine was in their diet on the regular.
People ate less back then. Food portion sizes in restaurants increased significantly starting from the 1970s, is often referred to as "portion distortion." This trend has contributed to the overconsumption of calories and has been linked to the rise in obesity rates in many parts of the world.
Jackie is one of my idols. Interesting to hear how strict she was about her diet for her entire life. She always looked beautiful to me. The smoking did get her in the end, which is tragic. I wish she hadn't used cigarettes as an appetite suppressant although a lot of people did then.
My friend, who is like a mother to me, is on hospice. She has stage 4 lung cancer. She's never drank or smoked. She wasn't around smokers either. Her sister just died from lung cancer three days ago. She never smoked either. Sometimes smokers die from lung cancer and sometimes non-smokers die from it.
JFK used to carry a scale in his luggage when traveling because of it. I think it stems from childhood. Oddly enough Teddy wasn’t very concerned I guess because he always struggled with being heavy.
Yes, smoking was a common appetite suppressant, unfortunately many men and women died younger from the associated diseases including Mrs. Kennedy-Onassis, she was 64 when she passed away. She was one of the most photographed women most of her life, so she was likely concerned with her appearance, hence the strict diet. The diet was interesting and really not uncommon in those days. I recall old Weight Watchers diets(1960s) were similar.
I sometimes wonder if this is partly why people were slimmer then. Obviously they didn’t eat fast food or processed food but if smoking suppresses the appetite you can see it would help keep weight down
When I smoked a carton a week I was 5 to 15 pounds under weight. I quit 27 years ago and am 80 pounds overweight. I never take dieting advice from smokers. Smoking cigarettes is like being on diet pills every day.
it is one of the main culprits for cancers...nicotine plus other toxic junk in these cigs is a deadly mix. Your weight may have to do with hormonal changes and maybe eating more than you need.
My paternal grandmother is the same generation as Mrs. Kennedy. She used cigarettes as an appetite suppressant for decades. She still fit into an extra small shirt when she died in her seventies.
Both Lee and Jackie smoked heavily. Lee was allegedly an alcoholic and still lived a very long life, dying at the age of 85, compared to Jackie living only 64 years.
It was all to maintain the facade of looking perfect on the outside. Their time in the White House was called Camelot for a reason; it all looked perfect, but behind closed doors was a lonely marriage filled with insatiable adultery by JFK, the pressure of being the perfect wife in the public's eye, and the expectation of producing many heirs in the tradition of his Roman-Catholic parents and siblings. Food restriction leads to binging; hence her late night pantry raids. Ugh, she could've been so much more and lived longer if not for all the family and social dysfunction.
Along with the facade of being perfect. She struggled with his constant infidelities. She also had several miscarriages and I believe 2 preterm babies who both died.
@@ritamarie2976 the miscarriages and preterm deliveries are reportedly due to her husband having infected her with STIs along with her own smoking habit.
I've noticed with these celebs that they did a lot of "switching it up" to lose weight. Damn. Just eat a balanced diet consistently and enjoy your life, ladies. The constant overindulgence followed by borderline starvation is more than I can handle.
I don’t think that this diet is particularly healthy. It seems as though Jackie may have been bordering on anorexia. Constant strict restriction of calorie intake imitates famine and is interpreted as such by the body. The intense need for cigarettes shows that the body is crying out for food.
I love Jackie! Does anyone else wonder if she possibly suffered with bouts of Bulimia? The late night eating ice cream out of the freezer with a large spoon was a tip off for me...I mean, this is a woman highly concerned with keeping her weight at 120.
Stephanie Chaffee. She used amphetamines on the regular along the President. She smoked incessantly also. She never allowed pictures taken of her smoking.
I think Jackie's eating habits would be classified as an eating disorder today. I'm very slim myself but I would never starve for it or eat so little. When looking at photos of Jackie I find that her slim figure looked great at a young age and in her prime but by her late 30's her unhealthy diet had already aged her prematurely.
I don’t know how women were not starving. In the 80’s my mom skipped breakfast, for lunch it was half a cantaloupe with cottage cheese. Dinner was either popcorn or peanut butter crackers. Somewhere in between she would go with her friends to Jazzercize.
From this routine she was undernourished in terms of variety and calories. Author Tom Wolfe called these woman the Social X-Rays because they all were skeletal and had eating disorders in an effort to remain skinny so they could look a certain way.
@@ProudKansan08 Princess Diana was another example. She had bulimia and anorexia when she was married to Charles because of a comment made that she was a little pudgy; she was 19-20 years old, for God's sake!!! And in those pre-Charles photos, she looked healthy and tall, which helped. Her wedding dress designer mentioned that she lost so much weight before the wedding they had to take her waistline in THREE times!!! We all thought she suffered from pre-wedding jitters, but as we now know, it was more serious than that. If you look at photos taken after William was born, she was very thin in her designer gowns. When she was separated from Charles, she finally regained control of her health and was looking healthier when she died.
@@sogorgeous2257 The private passion of Jackie Kennedy Onassis by Vicky Moon is a good book with beautiful photos of Jackie on horseback from childhood to when she was First Lady. FYI, the foxes are rarely caught by the hounds.
The smoking got her in the end, and she was so young. So many women used smoking to keep their weight down. I also wonder how her bone density was with such a restrictive diet. That really comes into play as women age; osteoporosis is no fun.
she died of non-hodgkin's lymphoma. My mother died from the same cancer and never smoked. this type of cancer is tied to environmental factors, the biggest being pesticides.
@Toia Townes She became First Lady in 1961, the same year the US Surgeon General first issued the warning that cigarette smoking is hazardous to one's health. So she should have known better. Her adulthood long smoking and alcohol drinking lowers the body's immune system, and so her ability to slow the non Hodgkins lymphoma.
Jackie Kennedy's pink suit wasn't actually made by Chanel. From Wikipedia: "A long-time question among fashion historians and experts about whether the suit was made by Chanel in France or a quality copy purchased from New York's semiannual Karl Lagerfeld or Chez Ninon collections, was resolved by Coco Chanel's biographer, Justine Picardie. She showed that the suit was a garment made by Chez Ninon using Chanel's approved "line for line" system with authorized Chanel patterns and materials."
@JRRnotTolkien According to Kenneth Jay Lane, Jackie liked wearing costume jewelry a lot, and didn't think it was below her to do so, but, she did have a lot of the real stuff hidden away.
She always looked emaciated, she never ate properly so she could stay 120 pounds. I never got why she was called beautiful, classy, elegant yes, but beautiful,,,
I saw her up close in NJ when I was a young girl.....her children were young as well......l she looked not a pretty slim but gaunt to me. Maybe she would have lived longer if she didn't smoke and wasn't so strict with her diet ??
the strict diet makes people live longer. Rats who barely eat live twice as long as rats that eat a lot. Smoking is what got her. Her cancer was obviously a result of what to expect when people are chain smokers. They are die of many ailments. Smoking kills.
@@linanicolia1363 A strict healthy balanced diet may help you live longer but she clearly wasn't getting her caloric needs for the day and that's not healthy. This appears to be a poor diet and smoking cigarettes doesn't help.
@@MsBackstager That's crazy that they took it off.... like I said, even to me as a young girl at the time, she looked sickly. We are not making a judgement call ... just stating the facts.
@@MsBackstager Yeah, mostly I remember her neck....looking weird , like pulled tight...she and the children were at Howard Johnsons for ice-cream in NJ and we were stopping there for the same thing. John's ice cream fell off of his cone and he went back for another scoop so I was lucky enough to get a extra look. That incident was over 50 years ago now and is fading.....smiles..
Thank you. I have heard years ago about her odd and controlled eating patterns. Even late in her life, living on the Vineyard, she would have one cup of black coffee (MJB?) and something else small for breakfast. The cigarettes were her food. My late mother, a few years older than Jackie, would fret that with the poor minimalist diet and cigarettes, that the infant deaths were a result. So thin, and all of the smoking might have contributed. She also had many odd demands: all her nylon stockings had to pressed, the bedsheets were changed sometimes twice a day-other quirks.
I did not think her diet to be unhealthy. She got enough protein in the eggs and cottage cheese, and fruit and baked potato is fine. The risotto with the spinach and other vegetables is fine too. I am surprised she did not have more, if any, green salads. I do not eat that much differently. But, not a lamb eater, so I substitute other meats, chicken and fish.
This was directly taken from the Jackie O Wiki page "During her lifetime, Jacqueline Kennedy was regarded as an international fashion icon.[1] Her ensemble of a pink Chanel suit and matching pillbox hat that she wore in Dallas, Texas, when the president was assassinated on November 22, 1963, has become a symbol of her husband's death."
This was fascinating love everything Jackie and will try this diet as Keto really isn’t working anymore! Especially baked potatoe with sour cream and caviar. will replace lamb with salmon. Thanks for the video💕
While Jackie Onassis worked at a major book publishing company in NYC.,at lunch time she'd eat only carrot sticks.If any of her coworkers were to eat something fattening she 'd share her carrot sticks.
Yes, she was controlling to her daughter’s diet also. When my son was in kindergarten one of the girls was hungry every day because her mom only allowed her to eat fruit. The mom was concerned about the child gaining weight. What a way to pass on eating disorders.
yes she was until she married Onassis and then we found out she was greedy and wanted money. He used to date her sister. They did not talk about that for a long time. Interesting.....He left Callas for Jackie because she was the widow of the US president. Dating her sister was not good enough. Later on he was going back to Maria Callas as Jackie showed her true colors....She did not care about him but Maria Callas still loved him. Poor Onassis died a lonely and miserable, sick old man. Jackie went back to NYC when he was dying......and Callas was by his bedside.
I thought her diet consisted of champagne, caviar and cigarettes? I remember when I was a small child, my Mom used to get women's magazines and I used to look at them and sometimes read the articles if they interested me, and I remember reading that Jackie Kennedy when she wanted to lose weight, would eat nothing but champagne and caviar. And since she was a chain smoker, I added the cigarettes because, supposedly, smoking cigarettes helps you keep the weight off. That's what my late, ex-mother in law told me. And she died from lung cancer from smoking cigarettes.
Essentially a lot of complex carbs and protein: still, I find it a bit sad that it was only when she probably knew she was going to pass away that she treated herself to some desserts she might enjoy but wouldn't partake in because she was so concerned with keeping her weight to such a fixed number. :\ Still, a solid 'diet' diet even today! (She has/had more willpower than me!) 💖
Literally I only weight 105, but Jackie looks so much skinnier than me. 😭😂 I think it’s honestly because I’m so short. I’m 4’11, so the shorter you are I feel the harder it is to maintain your weight, but I don’t really have a big appetite either though. I love these diet videos! Thank you Laura!
@@aquarius4904 well they certainly loved each other, but of course there were some other factors at play, like the fact that jack needed a wife for politics, and public image.
Quite a few famous people still smoke today. I don’t know if it is for stress or as an appetite suppressant. Even Kate Middleton who is lauded for her figure had photos during her girlfriend party days taken of her purse open in a cab with William. Inside, was a pack of cigarettes. It also was reported in a book written around the time of Kate’s wedding that Kate and Pipa would have dieting competitions to see who could be the thinnest and lose the most weight.
Christina was fluffy and had the walk of a Clydesdale horse. I ran into her at the Pierre Hotel when she was staying there. She was atrocious looking, like a peasant who should stay in the fields......I could not believe she appeared so vulgar. Jackie had to be mortified about that woman.
@@linanicolia1363 wasn't she a victim of Onasis who divorced her mother and didn't allow her access to her daughter. Similar situation to Dodi All Fayed. He also was forbidden from seeing his mother after the divorce of his parents. Who are these men who think this is o k on any level?.
Omg she and I are so alike! Our birthdays are a day apart, we’re both named Jackie, and I love lamb, risotto and I like drinking champagne everyday. My sister does the same diet when she wants to slim down: cottage cheese and pineapples 🍍! LOL
Smoking seems to take the juice out of one's skin. I saw a picture of twins, one smoked and the other didnt. The one who did: her face was dried up and drawn, while the other one's face was plump, healthy looking. Whatever keeps the skin plump, smoking dries it up.
It sounds like she was mostly eating a low carb diet and fairly heavy on the protein. I'm just surprised she didn't eat more vegetables because they're so low calorie and nutritious.
Hi Laura! I loved this video :) if you felt inspired to, I would love to see a favourite beauty products or diet video focused around Joan Collins. She is an amazing icon of old Hollywood glamour meets big eighties excess and I think she’d be the perfect fit for your series of content. Lots of love!
alexisdiva9 so cool :) I think she also launched some perfumes in the 1980s à la Elizabeth Taylor and along with her newer QVC line I think it would be such an informative list of all Joan’s contributions to glamour!
@@linanicolia1363 I've never had an issue with tomatoes. I've done the bland diet and introduced some foods slowly. Dairy, meat, and high potassium foods are the only ones that mess with my body. As I have kidney problems in addition to lactose intolerance.
She’s been HRH Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge since the day she married Prince William over ten years ago. Prince William was called William Wales were when he was st university and in the military.
I have both the books you mentioned, Laura, and saw the Natalie Portman movie...So many people smoked a lot then, and I have always thought that one reason that people are so much heavier now is that they eat, rather than smoke. She was fairly tall, and had small bones, and 120lbs. Is not a lot for her size. In some later pictures I thought she looked really too thin...she was very athletic, too, which burned a lot of calories...but she had an image- I think she dieted to get from a size 12 to a size 8 at one time- thanks for this interesting video, Laura and stay well! ☺️💕
Laura Jane and subs: We know more now about nutrition needs. I saw Jackie's fashion at the NY MOMA in early 2001...size 4 (American size)...I am 65 y.o. ...I maintained a size 0-4 as a beautiful young woman in the 80s...now a beautiful size 10 (American). Please cut our cultural, iconic beauties slack. ❤
I’d love to know how many calories that added up to. It’s not worth downloading a calorie counting app. That first list (around 3:20) was only about 700, depending on if she drank any caloried drinks like alcohol or a glass of sweet tea. It’s actually decent on ratios, but just not enough.

Jackie's diet sounds like the Scarsdale Medical Dietr
JFK didn't like the smoking
Cottage cheese & eggs fruit was minimal you have it listed much too much
You don't look as slim as Jackie she was a size zero to size 2
Limited Shepard's pie
You really need to get your facts
About her straight
She didn't keep up with the image of a first lady Jackie CREATED IT
SO THE FIRST LADIES FOLLOWING HAD AN EXAMPLE.JACKIE WOULD
HAVE HAD A SLIGHT PROBLEM WITH WHAT & HOW YOU ARE
DESCRIBING HER & HER DAILY
MENU, BECAUSE SHE WOULD
CHANGE IT UP AT THE DROP OF A HAT,DONT FORGET SHE ALSO
WOULD INJEST EVERY SO
OFTEN THE PILLS THAT JFK
TOOK DAILY TO KEEP UP
IN ENERGY & MASK HER
HUNGER, SO EVERY SO OFTEN WHEN JFK WOULD CALL HIS
PERSONAL DOCTOR,A WOMAN
JACKIE WOULD GET ON
THE LINE & request the pills to suppress her hunger especially.when they had to attend
A state dinner or large event
Jackie lived by the high society motto of you can never be too rich or too thin which was the mentality of the times.
After two hundred calories and two packs a day for half a century she must have been like beef jerky…
And still is.
True still. Lol
What my mom raised me on, probably why I weight 80 pounds at 23 😂
still is, always will be.
Starting tomorrow my lunch will be a flute of champagne, a baked potato with sour cream and beluga caviar and three cigarettes. Yaaas!
Lol
Lol hilarious!!!
Don't forget to use the mother of pearl spoon for the caviar!
LOL good reply
🤣🤣🤣
We eat eggs, cottage cheese, and low carbs fruits and plain yogurt nearly every day! I didn't know we were eating a Jackie O diet!
The breath becomes rancid! Constipation, my goodness!
just don't smoke ! you should live a long and healthy life....looking good as well.
you are eating a cancer diet; cows milk was only designed for calves to consume; enjoy your hormonal cancers when they come knocking on your door
it is a good diet.
Look up the complete scarsdale medical diet by herman tarnover, md, im (cv). Lose 1#/day
It works!
My mom told me women over 125 lbs. back then were socially pressured to lose weight.
How awful 😢
Can you imagine being able to purchase any foods and not wanting too to eat.
vanity has a lot to do with it. People who make money a number one priority , are also vain about their appearance.
Yeah, I can imagine that.
She was very disciplined in both her public & personal life.. you don't become 1st lady without it
If anyone admitted to eating like that today, there would be some major concern and/or backlash.
I was going to say hers and Marilyn’s what they eat in a day is probably very accurate to the calorie intake of ppl in similar positions today. They’re honest about it because back then they could be. Now it would be appalling
I think she'd face backlash for adding million dollar caviar to her potatoes rather than the basic way she eats
The backlash would come from telling people to smoke to lose weight. Yikes

Mrs. Onassis was athletic from a young age. She had a very high standard for her own personal appearance-nothing to do with being First Lady.
Yep, her father instilled the importance of fashion and having a good appearance to her and her sister.
I would be very depressed with this diet
I’ve read that the Kennedys were always terribly concerned with weight....Teddy being the exception.
JFK used to carry a scale in his luggage when traveling because of it. I think it stems from childhood. Oddly enough Teddy wasn’t very concerned I guess because he always struggled with being heavy.

Why is that?
Happy to see the new video!!✨✨
key to her diet - smoking cigarettes
The kitchen part, eating with the light off and alone, that’s binge eating. Jackie definitely had disordered eating habits.
I agree
Her diet just seems like the typical diet of the day. My Nana ate the Same up until the day she passed.

Smoking has never suppressed my appetite. I smoke after eating a meal or snack.
From this routine she was undernourished in terms of variety and calories. Author Tom Wolfe called these woman the Social X-Rays because they all were skeletal and had eating disorders in an effort to remain skinny so they could look a certain way.

the strict diet makes people live longer. Rats who barely eat live twice as long as rats that eat a lot. Smoking is what got her. Her cancer was obviously a result of what to expect when people are chain smokers. They are die of many ailments. Smoking kills.
dont forget the amphetamines she and hubby took
@@linanicolia1363 A strict healthy balanced diet may help you live longer but she clearly wasn't getting her caloric needs for the day and that's not healthy. This appears to be a poor diet and smoking cigarettes doesn't help.
@@MsBackstager That's crazy that they took it off.... like I said, even to me as a young girl at the time, she looked sickly. We are not making a judgement call ... just stating the facts.
@@MsBackstager Yeah, mostly I remember her neck....looking weird , like pulled tight...she and the children were at Howard Johnsons for ice-cream in NJ and we were stopping there for the same thing. John's ice cream fell off of his cone and he went back for another scoop so I was lucky enough to get a extra look. That incident was over 50 years ago now and is fading.....smiles..
Amazing video Laura, thank you so much for your impeccable art work 🥰
I love the Floral pattern of the dishes.
Me too! They’re my fav, Old Country Roses.
Me three.
Thank you. I have heard years ago about her odd and controlled eating patterns. Even late in her life, living on the Vineyard, she would have one cup of black coffee (MJB?) and something else small for breakfast. The cigarettes were her food. My late mother, a few years older than Jackie, would fret that with the poor minimalist diet and cigarettes, that the infant deaths were a result. So thin, and all of the smoking might have contributed. She also had many odd demands: all her nylon stockings had to pressed, the bedsheets were changed sometimes twice a day-other quirks.
It’s sad that the only time it seems she allowed herself to enjoy the food she wanted was the end of the life
Where are the greens?????
I did not think her diet to be unhealthy. She got enough protein in the eggs and cottage cheese, and fruit and baked potato is fine. The risotto with the spinach and other vegetables is fine too. I am surprised she did not have more, if any, green salads. I do not eat that much differently. But, not a lamb eater, so I substitute other meats, chicken and fish.
she had to have had more in her diet than just those mentioned foods. Of course she did.
Looks like about 800 calories a day...yikes
This was directly taken from the Jackie O Wiki page "During her lifetime, Jacqueline Kennedy was regarded as an international fashion icon.[1] Her ensemble of a pink Chanel suit and matching pillbox hat that she wore in Dallas, Texas, when the president was assassinated on November 22, 1963, has become a symbol of her husband's death."
Much of the video was redundant. The switching up with fruit from a baked potato was mentioned at least five times.
Life is too short! xxx.
Please do a video about Edie Sedgwick
This was fascinating love everything Jackie and will try this diet as Keto really isn’t working anymore! Especially baked potatoe with sour cream and caviar. will replace lamb with salmon. Thanks for the video💕
While Jackie Onassis worked at a major book publishing company in NYC.,at lunch time she'd eat only carrot sticks.If any of her coworkers were to eat something fattening she 'd share her carrot sticks.
Born in 71. I think she was a bit too thin and I find it interesting to hear of the control issue she had with food.
Yes, she was controlling to her daughter’s diet also. When my son was in kindergarten one of the girls was hungry every day because her mom only allowed her to eat fruit. The mom was concerned about the child gaining weight. What a way to pass on eating disorders.
@@tastx3142 I hope someone reported her to CPS.
I have always been a huge fan of Jackie O. She was, and still is the epitome of classy.
I think it was a facade. I don't think she was all that classy in her soul and how she treated people she turned on.
Smoking incessantly is classy???
@@tastx3142 , yes I thought the same thing.
yes she was until she married Onassis and then we found out she was greedy and wanted money. He used to date her sister. They did not talk about that for a long time. Interesting.....He left Callas for Jackie because she was the widow of the US president. Dating her sister was not good enough. Later on he was going back to Maria Callas as Jackie showed her true colors....She did not care about him but Maria Callas still loved him. Poor Onassis died a lonely and miserable, sick old man. Jackie went back to NYC when he was dying......and Callas was by his bedside.
telling your daughter to stay slim and underweight or else men don't want you, tha t is classy?!?
I thought her diet consisted of champagne, caviar and cigarettes? I remember when I was a small child, my Mom used to get women's magazines and I used to look at them and sometimes read the articles if they interested me, and I remember reading that Jackie Kennedy when she wanted to lose weight, would eat nothing but champagne and caviar. And since she was a chain smoker, I added the cigarettes because, supposedly, smoking cigarettes helps you keep the weight off. That's what my late, ex-mother in law told me. And she died from lung cancer from smoking cigarettes.
she did not die from lung cancer. Look it up. It was in her abdomen, originally and then it went everywhere.
lina nicolia More properly she passed due to Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
By the sound of it she had a massive eating disorder :(
I love your bed! 😍Where did you get it from? Is that vintage? New subscriber!
Essentially a lot of complex carbs and protein: still, I find it a bit sad that it was only when she probably knew she was going to pass away that she treated herself to some desserts she might enjoy but wouldn't partake in because she was so concerned with keeping her weight to such a fixed number. :\ Still, a solid 'diet' diet even today! (She has/had more willpower than me!) 💖
Haha me too I like desserts too much
True but keep in mind she didn’t like eating that much anyway until her later years
I know. I believe in the rule of eating dessert first or at least eating dessert some time that evening. LOL!!
Lauren A Very vain,life is too short to deny all pleasures....
Sad but true I have read cancer causes people to crave sweets. Something about the tumor and metabolism.
I was actually born quite a few days before she died.
Literally I only weight 105, but Jackie looks so much skinnier than me. 😭😂 I think it’s honestly because I’m so short. I’m 4’11, so the shorter you are I feel the harder it is to maintain your weight, but I don’t really have a big appetite either though. I love these diet videos! Thank you Laura!
yea, I weigh 90 lbs and I'm 5'2, someone taller would probably die at this weight but it's healthy for me
Thank you for the interesting video xoxo
You forget she had to maintain because her husband was a cheater.
she was hooked on nicotine and money.
What good did it do her?
@@linanicolia1363 so you think she's a gold digger?
@@alexia4240 I mean.....I think she did love JFK but they apparently didn’t marry each other just because they adored each other
@@aquarius4904 well they certainly loved each other, but of course there were some other factors at play, like the fact that jack needed a wife for politics, and public image.
Quite a few famous people still smoke today. I don’t know if it is for stress or as an appetite suppressant.
Even Kate Middleton who is lauded for her figure had photos during her girlfriend party days taken of her purse open in a cab with William. Inside, was a pack of cigarettes. It also was reported in a book written around the time of Kate’s wedding that Kate and Pipa would have dieting competitions to see who could be the thinnest and lose the most weight.
I read in a biography of Christina Onassis that Jackie bugged her about her weight most of the time!
Christina was fluffy and had the walk of a Clydesdale horse. I ran into her at the Pierre Hotel when she was staying there. She was atrocious looking, like a peasant who should stay in the fields......I could not believe she appeared so vulgar. Jackie had to be mortified about that woman.
@@linanicolia1363 wasn't she a victim of Onasis who divorced her mother and didn't allow her access to her daughter. Similar situation to Dodi All Fayed. He also was forbidden from seeing his mother after the divorce of his parents. Who are these men who think this is o k on any level?.
Omg she and I are so alike! Our birthdays are a day apart, we’re both named Jackie, and I love lamb, risotto and I like drinking champagne everyday. My sister does the same diet when she wants to slim down: cottage cheese and pineapples 🍍! LOL
Let's not forget about a few packs of cigarettes a day that she smoked!! It helps. All models use this method as well.
I used to smoke and smoking never once weakened my appetite.
Caligula Longhbottom you’re rare
@@sunshinejewel2952 or just like to eat lol
Plus models eat Kleenex soaked with orange juice...
@@Jinka1950 what does that do?
Smoking seems to take the juice out of one's skin. I saw a picture of twins, one smoked and the other didnt. The one who did: her face was dried up and drawn, while the other one's face was plump, healthy looking. Whatever keeps the skin plump, smoking dries it up.
Shes my type of Leo. Regal, quiet confidence and silently shining without the theatrics just by entering the room 🌟
Hello! Great content. Can you tell me what is the vintage cat eye stamp? Where to find one?
Jackie smokes three packs a day
anorexia isn't a diet, it is a mental condition that can be deadly, nothing to aspire to.
She seemed to eat healthy. Probably was pre disposed to be thin. Doesn't matter how well you eat the cigarettes will kill you. Did both of my parents.
My condolences on your parents
What a beautiful lady she was. I dont know much about her, but she was lovely
eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese - high protein
It sounds like she was mostly eating a low carb diet and fairly heavy on the protein. I'm just surprised she didn't eat more vegetables because they're so low calorie and nutritious.
Jackie wasn’t wearing Chanel on the day of her husbands assassination but rather a replica.
Hi Laura! I loved this video :) if you felt inspired to, I would love to see a favourite beauty products or diet video focused around Joan Collins. She is an amazing icon of old Hollywood glamour meets big eighties excess and I think she’d be the perfect fit for your series of content. Lots of love!
That would be cool! Dame Joan now has her own makeup/skin care line that she's sold on QVC in the UK.
alexisdiva9 so cool :) I think she also launched some perfumes in the 1980s à la Elizabeth Taylor and along with her newer QVC line I think it would be such an informative list of all Joan’s contributions to glamour!
She smoked instead of being an eater.
You are precisely correct.......smoke a cigg and skip a meal.....
I've smoked for 40 years and it has never affected my appetite. I wish it did because I need to drop 20 pounds.
As far as her weight, that was well known how to watch ones weight even for those growing up in the 70s
I love cheese, my digestive track however does not. I'm thankful there's a lactose free cottage cheese as I do love it, on toast w a slice of tomato
If you have issues with your digestive tract, you should not eat tomatoes. The stomach has problems with all that acidity.
@@linanicolia1363 I've never had an issue with tomatoes. I've done the bland diet and introduced some foods slowly.
Dairy, meat, and high potassium foods are the only ones that mess with my body. As I have kidney problems in addition to lactose intolerance.
Thank you
Jackie is classic!💖
yes a classic skeletal man appeaser smoker and meth head
Theres a channel called readytoglare and I swear you two look like twins but opposite styles😂 great content btw💕
Kate Middleton reminds me so much of Mrs. Kennedy 💕 they are both so beautiful
and underweight
She’s been HRH Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge since the day she married Prince William over ten years ago. Prince William was called William Wales were when he was st university and in the military.
I have both the books you mentioned, Laura, and saw the Natalie Portman movie...So many people smoked a lot then, and I have always thought that one reason that people are so much heavier now is that they eat, rather than smoke. She was fairly tall, and had small bones, and 120lbs. Is not a lot for her size. In some later pictures I thought she looked really too thin...she was very athletic, too, which burned a lot of calories...but she had an image- I think she dieted to get from a size 12 to a size 8 at one time- thanks for this interesting video, Laura and stay well! ☺️💕
I hate cottage cheese! 🤮 want to like it but the consistency is rather horrid!
Laura Jane and subs: We know more now about nutrition needs. I saw Jackie's fashion at the NY MOMA in early 2001...size 4 (American size)...I am 65 y.o. ...I maintained a size 0-4 as a beautiful young woman in the 80s...now a beautiful size 10 (American). Please cut our cultural, iconic beauties slack. ❤
How did you maintain that weight? 0-4?
Sie war ne tolle Frau. Sehr Elegant. Sehr zierlich. Sehr hübsch. Eine wunderschöne Ausstrahlung
I love eating my baked potatoes with caviar. Personally I love petrossian caviar. It’s like eating a piece of heaven.
I’d love to know how many calories that added up to. It’s not worth downloading a calorie counting app. That first list (around 3:20) was only about 700, depending on if she drank any caloried drinks like alcohol or a glass of sweet tea. It’s actually decent on ratios, but just not enough.
What did they say about the diets affecting the mental state of mind and energy
Answer: cigarettes and alcohol.
alcohol in moderation is good. Kills the bugs.....
Wow interesting
