In a candid conversation with Jimmy Fallon on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ Alba talked about how her Vegan Hiking Detox Getaway went. Fallon asked her a question regarding hiking being among her top choices to stay fit and maintain her well-being. But Alba straight away just answered with a “Nope…Definitely not!”.
She went on to share the experience of going on a hiking trip. The fact that it was a detox hike required her to tick a few boxes before the hike began. And Alba being completely unaware of a lot of them failed to meet the requirements. For her, it was just meant to be an adventurous and healthy getaway.
As the hiking adventure unfolded, Alba started to realize that all her pre-hike indulgences would so on be making the hike a challenging feat for her. Before the trip began, she had to discontinue alcoholic beverages for about a month. Alba stated how she failed to resist herself from consuming alcohol. “It was a vegan hiking detox situation and I didn’t realize… But actually, you’re supposed to, like eliminate all the things before you get there. So, like, for a month, stop drinking alcohol. And I was like uh…the night before, I was like, ‘How many margaritas can I get in?”, said the 42-year-old stunning actor.
She also had to eliminate meat before setting out for the trek. “…and you should eliminate meat, you know, a week or two weeks. I was like downing tacos that morning with all the things on it.”, added Alba, as she again did not follow the pre-hike rulebook.

Alba shared how tough it was for her to hike six miles a day. She continued to share her experience when she revealed that she was “huffing and puffing” and almost “dying” while they were just halfway on their first day.
The twist in the tale happened about a group of “solid solid senior citizens” of about 80 or 90 years of age that surpassed their group. The group of seniors was in full strength and they “came, and they lapped” Alba’s group.
The ex-girlfriend of former Baseball player, Derek Jeter added, “They went to the top and came back down. And we still hadn’t quite made it up.”That was the moment when she realized that despite all her best intentions hiking might not be one of her fortes.
