Is this a diet fit for a First Lady?
The incredibly regimented diet of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis has resurfaced online and caused a stir, drawing shock and critique.
Content creator @mindofmarisa took to TikTok to dish the details of the late First Lady’s daily diet. Marisa claimed that Kennedy’s breakfast, enjoyed in bed, involved toast and honey with orange juice and coffee with skim milk, while her meal at lunch consisted of a cup of broth and a “slim sandwich.”
According to Marisa, Kennedy’s dinner was supposedly “cold poached salmon followed by lamb with potatoes, string beans and ice cream.”
Marisa also highlighted the memoir “Jackie’s Girl,” penned by Kennedy’s former assistant Kathy McKeon, which included details of her meals, with snacks consisting of plain yogurt. According to McKeon, breakfast was a single boiled egg with tea, lunch was cottage cheese topped with fruit and dinner was poached chicken breast or fish with vegetables or salad.
The Daily Mail estimated Kennedy’s alleged diet to be only 600 calories per day — much lower than the recommendation for adult women, which ranges from 1,600 to 2,400 calories per day.
According to Marisa, legend has it that Kennedy allegedly went through a phase of eating one baked potato per day stuffed with sour cream and Beluga caviar, which can cost thousands of dollars. Marisa claimed that Kennedy’s caviar cost a whopping $10,000 per kilogram, or just over two pounds.
But the fanciful indulgence didn’t distract viewers from her other eating habits, with many critics calling it “boring” and “bland.”
“Plain yogurt is diabolical,” one person quipped.
“Jackie was hungry all her life,” another commented.
Toast and honey with coffee would have me chewing my arm off at midday,” lamented someone else.
“Imagine being that rich and still denying yourself the pleasure of extremely good food for the sake of vanity,” scoffed one user.
“Her whole days food I eat at one meal!” another wrote.
Others, meanwhile, championed Kennedy’s regimen.
“I don’t see anything wrong with her diet, for her time. Now Ozempic does what she did herself,” one TikTokker argued. “Also, look at what Americans looked like then versus now.”
“Her diet wasn’t bad at all,” another agreed.
“Not the worst one I’ve ever heard,” someone else commented. “She looked healthy and stayed active in her later years so it worked for her.”
