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 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.
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
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.
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'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 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 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.
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.

@@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.
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..
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.
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 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.
@@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.
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.
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!) 💖
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.
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.
@@nadiyabecerra14 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.
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.
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?.
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!
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!
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.
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."
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! ☺️💕
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
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.
@@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.
We have been misled regarding animal protein. I was on a carnivore diet for a month and lost 20 pounds along with an improvement in sleeping, snoring, better stamina, flexibility and all inflamation issues; joint pain etc. The downside is, it is boring. If you have a busy life and eating isn't a big source of pleasure, it makes it easier. I can see how smoking might fill the void.
I remember the “Diet Plate” at places like Denny’s: a thin, plain hamburger patty, an ice cream scoop of cottage cheese, a few slices of tomato, two little melba toasts, and black coffee. I loved it. 😂
@@sandrab2589 I didn't check them while I was on the strict diet. I have since been on a "modified version," cheese, coffee, corn chips( my weakness) but no sugar, no bread & xylitol is my replacement for sugar. When I lost the weight on the carnivore diet my blood pressure dropped a bit. I really think inflammation is the culprit for so many things. Joe Rogan and Dr Shawn Baker go into much greater detail on the diet itself. Mikala Petersen and Joe Rogan have an anecdotal but interesting conversation about her experiences with meat only.
@@drummerlovesbookworm9738 Yeah, I remember those, too. I was in grade school and just starting junior high at the height of those "diet plates". I remember one time going out with a friend when I was in 7th grade, and went to a Denny's or some famous diner where I lived, and she ordered a "diet plate" and she forced me to do the same, I was going to order a hamburger or spaghetti or or something and man, that was the biggest disappointment of my 11 or 12 year old life. I don't like cottage cheese unless its got crushed pineapple on it, and trying to swallow cottage cheese, eat a piece of lettuce, a carrot and celery stick was bleck!! I never did it again. I don't think my friend did either. LOL!! At least I got to drink a Pepsi, Coke or Dr. Pepper with it.
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.
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💕
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. ❤
Jackie Kennedy is a amazing icon Her look is timeless Thank you Laura Jane Atelier for this wonderful presentation God bless you Be well Stay safe Look after yourself and your loved ones in these unsettling times ♥️💕❤️⭐🙏✝️
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.
Her diet was quite healthy. She ate top quality food: fruits, vegetables, complete proteins, carbs, the occasional treat. She lived at a time when a woman could never be too thin or too rich, thus the low weight. Also, the camera was said to add 10 or 20 pounds and she was photographed continuously, so she was required to present well or her enemies would have a field day, something she was acutely aware of. Nowadays, she'd probably weigh more and still be considered a beautiful fashion icon.

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
🤣🤣🤣
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
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!
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.
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

Her diet just seems like the typical diet of the day. My Nana ate the Same up until the day she passed.
key to her diet - smoking cigarettes
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.
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..
Yay! I'm so happy to see a new video!
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."
Yes, and if I’m not mistaken, the pillbox hat was never found after that day. 😢
Ann Peterson but it’s not with the dress in the museum, or is it?
@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.
@@sogorgeous2257 how pretentious.
It was a Chanel looking suit. Many designers copied Chanel.
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 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.
Sounds like she might have been a binge eater later in life.
Why is that?
Jackie was an equestrian and enjoyed fox hunting. Most riders try to keep fit and slim. She always looked slim and beautiful. Thanks for the video.
@@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.
fox hunting? how cruel.
Jackie looks so much like her Aunt Edith when she was young in her profile picture.
I agree.
anorexia isn't a diet, it is a mental condition that can be deadly, nothing to aspire to.
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.
Please do a video about Edie Sedgwick
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 think she was just on the low end of a healthy weight scale.
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.
I just subscribed and found your channel. I love your channel and it’s subjects ❤️
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 love the Floral pattern of the dishes.
Me too! They’re my fav, Old Country Roses.
Me three.
Life is too short! xxx.
Sie war ne tolle Frau. Sehr Elegant. Sehr zierlich. Sehr hübsch. Eine wunderschöne Ausstrahlung
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.
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
@@nadiyabecerra14 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.
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.
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?
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?????
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.
Thank you, Laura, for sharing this information. I see two books I"ll need to add to my Kennedy library. New subscriber. Blessings!
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?.
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
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!
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.
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.
By the sound of it she had a massive eating disorder :(
Amazing video Laura, thank you so much for your impeccable art work 🥰
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! ☺️💕
eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese - high protein
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
What a beautiful lady she was. I dont know much about her, but she was lovely
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
Answer: cigarettes and alcohol.
alcohol in moderation is good. Kills the bugs.....
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.
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.
We have been misled regarding animal protein. I was on a carnivore diet for a month and lost 20 pounds along with an improvement in sleeping, snoring, better stamina, flexibility and all inflamation issues; joint pain etc. The downside is, it is boring. If you have a busy life and eating isn't a big source of pleasure, it makes it easier. I can see how smoking might fill the void.
I remember the “Diet Plate” at places like Denny’s: a thin, plain hamburger patty, an ice cream scoop of cottage cheese, a few slices of tomato, two little melba toasts, and black coffee. I loved it. 😂
How are your blood lipids? (Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides.) Is your blood pressure normal?
@@sandrab2589 I didn't check them while I was on the strict diet. I have since been on a "modified version," cheese, coffee, corn chips( my weakness) but no sugar, no bread & xylitol is my replacement for sugar. When I lost the weight on the carnivore diet my blood pressure dropped a bit. I really think inflammation is the culprit for so many things.
Joe Rogan and Dr Shawn Baker go into much greater detail on the diet itself. Mikala Petersen and Joe Rogan have an anecdotal but interesting conversation about her experiences with meat only.
@@drummerlovesbookworm9738 Yeah, I remember those, too. I was in grade school and just starting junior high at the height of those "diet plates". I remember one time going out with a friend when I was in 7th grade, and went to a Denny's or some famous diner where I lived, and she ordered a "diet plate" and she forced me to do the same, I was going to order a hamburger or spaghetti or or something and man, that was the biggest disappointment of my 11 or 12 year old life. I don't like cottage cheese unless its got crushed pineapple on it, and trying to swallow cottage cheese, eat a piece of lettuce, a carrot and celery stick was bleck!! I never did it again. I don't think my friend did either. LOL!! At least I got to drink a Pepsi, Coke or Dr. Pepper with it.
I was actually born quite a few days before she died.
As far as her weight, that was well known how to watch ones weight even for those growing up in the 70s
Looks like about 800 calories a day...yikes
Shes my type of Leo. Regal, quiet confidence and silently shining without the theatrics just by entering the room 🌟
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.
Jackie wasn’t wearing Chanel on the day of her husbands assassination but rather a replica.
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.
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💕
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?
Jackie Kennedy is a amazing icon
Her look is timeless
Thank you Laura Jane Atelier for this wonderful presentation
God bless you
Be well
Stay safe
Look after yourself and your loved ones in these unsettling times ♥️💕❤️⭐🙏✝️
Thank you
she " was ".
Jackie is classic!💖
yes a classic skeletal man appeaser smoker and meth head
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.
That's where Bolemia and anorexia started and that's why it wasn't known or brought to light til after Karen carpenter's death
Good gracious, the poor woman was probably malnourished her entire adult life!
I doubt she was. With the best doctors and nutritionist to hand, plus tonnes of money, she ate little but ate the best quality foods.
@@jeta-mariaswanepoel She probably thought so.
Her diet was quite healthy. She ate top quality food: fruits, vegetables, complete proteins, carbs, the occasional treat. She lived at a time when a woman could never be too thin or too rich, thus the low weight. Also, the camera was said to add 10 or 20 pounds and she was photographed continuously, so she was required to present well or her enemies would have a field day, something she was acutely aware of. Nowadays, she'd probably weigh more and still be considered a beautiful fashion icon.
I expect you are obese. She was looking good and healthy. Most people eat way too much......what got her was the nicotine.....
@Toia Townes And lived into her 80's
Jackie smokes three packs a day
the smoking took her life...
Non-hodgkins lymphoma is not a smoking related cancer
What did they say about the diets affecting the mental state of mind and energy
