Jack Lalann, the fitness pioneer, strong man and multi-world record holder died in 2011 at the age of 96. He was still working out daily and advocating for a high protein, low carb, minimally processed food diet….the guy was clearly ahead of his time. We came across an 1995 interview with Jack in Outside magazine, it’s a fun read if you have the time. The guy is from a different era for sure, but you have to love his passion, intensity and take-no-prisoners attitude.
Our favorite excerpt from the article:
Then–thoughtlessly, perhaps, and only because I do it myself–I asked Jack LaLanne if he ever snacks before bedtime.
“Never!” he snarled. “You don’t get it. I am one runaway son of a bitch! I am an animal! I want to eat everything! I want to get drunk every single night! I want to screw every woman there is! We are all wild animals. But we must learn to use our minds. We must learn to control the bestial and sensual sides of ourselves!”
