Jackie Kennedy's Forbidden Diet Explained

When it comes to the mysteries surrounding JFK and the First Lady Jackie Kennedy, the story of her Diet almost seems to be the most forbidden topic.
Be that as it may, The food theory behind this is crazy. We looked into this story and were astonished to find that Jackie Kennedy's Cavendish diet was a groundbreaking approach to wellness that gained prominence in the 1960s. Focused on clean eating and portion control, it drew inspiration from the former First Lady's refined tastes and commitment to maintaining a slim figure. The diet emphasized lean proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and limited carbohydrates and fats. Named after her maiden name, Cavendish, Jackie Kennedy's diet quickly became a cultural phenomenon, admired for its elegance and simplicity. With her poised grace and timeless style, Jackie Kennedy embodied health and sophistication, inspiring countless individuals to adopt her dietary principles to pursue a healthier lifestyle. Though trends in nutrition have evolved since then, Jackie Kennedy's Cavendish diet remains a testament to her enduring influence on wellness and fashion.

Why are you spooning caviar with a metal spoon? This is something that she would have known to never do caviar is served and eaten with either a mother of pearl or a bone carved spoon. Metals can react badly to the caviar and can bruise the delicate pearls of the caviar. Comming from the upper class and very wealthy, she would’ve known to use either mother of pearl with a sterling silver handle, or a horn carved spoon polished to a high gloss.

I only use natural diamond spoons with my caviar. Such a noob move to use peasant cutlery.

[@williamstamper442]

I use the horns of a bison carved into a spoon. Of course the bison was harvested from our family's vast western ranch and was taken by a primitive long bow at 10 yards. As the bison charged it fell to its death just 1 meter before me. I then quartered the animal and carried its flesh by backpack 100 miles to the cabin in the snow. It was then when I carved the spoon from it's long horns. Nowadays a private jet flies the rarest caviar to our doorstep to be eaten with the carved spoon.

[@wantingoneangel8976]

That is very interesting, I never knew that caviar could not be eaten with a metal spoon it had to be made of mother of pearl or wood😃😃. When I are caviar in the past at special occasions, I would always have it on crackers, but maybe that's an American thing because I'm an American. I know in Russia that they put butter on bread and then caviar on top of that. The taste of caviar is pretty much the taste of sardines in my opinion which is not bad. However, I have never had red caviar only black and again only on special occasions because I'm not of the upper class just an ordinary American person🤗☮️.

She probably had to use cigarettes to deal with hunger.

Yes, unfortunately, she was a chain-smoker!

[@Plenty-cx7hl]

Two packs of cigarettes a day.

Yeah Jackie smoked all the time chain smoked that's probably why she got cancer.

[@mizfrenchtwist]

@soulfulVeg...........RIGHT , she was ALSO a chain smoker , i think i read where she smoked 2 packs a day. she probably also drank , alot of black coffee as well..............

[@hoovergrant]

Nancy Reagan ate a baked potato for lunch everyday, if she was pressed for time she would even eat it cold. Caviar on a baked potato sounds pretty good. I’d go for sour cream myself. I happen to love black caviar and sour cream on scrambled eggs!

[@TravelingGuy]

We used to stop in Malibu for a plate of caviar before spending the weekends in Santa Barbara. My father only ate the caviar but everyone else added the egg. Personally never liked caviar but love roe, and still do, especially from codfish. Full of protein !!

[@NextWorldVR]

But,. Rod is eggs and eggs is roe and Caviar is eggs and Caviar is Roe...

[@TravelingGuy]

@@NextWorldVR The traditional definition, as maintained by most of the rest of the world, reserves the word "caviar" for roe that comes solely from fish of the Acipenseridae family (sturgeon). The combination of unfertilized sturgeon eggs and salt creates the delicacy known as caviar. So, roe harvested from a species of sturgeon is still considered roe until it is salt-cured, at which point it would be called caviar. *Roe is also fish egg however it’s not salted, hence not caviar.*

[@lilaccilla]

I feel about Caviar the same way Tom Hanks felt about it in the movie BIG

[@dictare]

I read that book "Cooking for Madam" by Marta Sgubin. You're right of course Marta never mentions caviar potatoes. I didn't find any of the recipes in her book appealing and threw the book out.

[@ann5765]

I bought the book too. I didn’t like the recipes either.

[@aviajarehema7393]

The last few seconds of this video was funny! 🤣😂😅

[@EATSHISTORY]

Don’t get me started, that food was 🤢

[@fumissima]

The stuff they were using was not caviar but tobiko -- flying fish roe. A very FAR cry from either sturgeon or salmon roe ("black" and "red" caviars, respectively.) What a hilarious experiment though 😂

[@EATSHISTORY]

I finally found very good quality sturgeon caviar, but it was extremely expensive - several hundred dollars an ounce. so I'll leave it for Jackie - this one was ok for me :) Mrs S.

[@fumissima]

I'm sorry if my comment sounded tetchy -- I grew up in the USSR eating the real deal by the spoonfuls because it wasn't prohibitively expensive (and was plentiful, unlike bananas) back in the 1980's. Tobiko is great on Western sushi rolls though, don't mean to knock it at all! 😘

[@N1originalgazza]

That's not sturgeon caviar but cheap red and black lumpfish eggs!

Why is she wrapping her potatoes in baking paper? The crispy skin is the best bit! They’re gonna be all soggy🤮

Ugh. A mouthful of salt. If Jackie really was eating only that every day, she'd have been retaining water like crazy.

I do believe she put sour cream on her baked potato and not cottage cheese (ugh!).

[@playinglifeoneasy9226]

Ola Contraire, cottage cheese was a very fashionable diet food at the time, low in calories and high in protein. as for sour cream, it is cream. It is very high and fat and very low in protein. She definitely ate cottage cheese. My mother was also a devotee to cottage cheese mainly because as a young lady, she idolized Jackie.

[@janieromer2907]

Agree. Russian style.

[@Dory8]

@@playinglifeoneasy9226 High fat wasn't demonised the way it tends to be today and a tablespoon of sour cream is hardly high fat or high calorie. There's more fat in milk.The fact is that sour cream is high in calcium, it contains vitamin A and phosphorus and is great for the digestion. It is also low carb. Given Jackie ate meagre amounts of food it meant that her bones would be healthy despite being on a diet.

[@WhoIsRuccaz]

What does fruit fest mean?

[@sped6954]

I hate cottage cheese and I've never had any interest in trying caviar. I like baked potatoes though, with any, all, or none of the staple toppings. Mashed potato is really good too, particularly if it's semi lumpy with the skin. Come to think of it, there really aren't too many ways I don't like potatoes. Except vodka. You can keep that swill. I wasn't really a fan of au gratin potatoes when I was little, but I eventually grew into them by my early teens. I've always been a little hit and miss on scalloped potatoes though. On the other hand, there hasn't been one single way that anyone has ever been able to disguise cottage cheese that I find it even remotely swallowable, never mind in any way pleasant. Caviar... Slimy fish eggs... Nope, not happenin', nuh-uh, don't care, ain't ever going to even try, nope. I don't even want to know. It's lower than cottage cheese as well as tuna casserole, which I absolutely despise. We didn't have much money when I was little, so my mother used to make it. A lot. You'll either eat it or go to bed hungry. Can I go to bed right now then? Many, many nights I went to bed early and on an empty stomach, and each time was well worth it. I'd sooner starve to death than eat one more forkful of tuna casserole, which I'll bet has been north of at least 45 years since the last time I had to eat it. To me, caviar is beneath that. Slimy fish eggs. 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮 Nope.
