Jersey Shore star, Vincent "Vinny" Guadagnino can now add a "K" to his "GTL" routine. The reality star believes he has found the fountain of youth after losing 50 pounds while sticking to a strict ketogenic plan, also known as the keto diet.
From G-T-L To G-T-L-K
Guadagnino's transformation is so impressive that he has decided to spread the word by creating an Instagram account called the Keto Guido.
Those that follow the 30-year-old Staten Island native know that he continuously shares videos of his workouts as well as his meals of the day, which mostly include meat and vegetables.

In March, just weeks before the premiere of Jersey Shore Family Vacation, Guadagnino shared a shirtless photo of himself on his Keto Guido Instagram account, in which he wrote a lengthy caption revealing his new food choices and the reason for starting the new Instagram account.
The MTV star stated that he lost a lot of weight after he stopped eating sugars and grains and opted for foods such as whole eggs, bacon, fatty fish, and plants and began to work out a few times a week.
I’ve discovered the fountain of youth . You ready for it?....Stop eating sugars and grains and instead 98% of the time eat real food like whole eggs, bacon, butter, fatty steaks, fatty fish and plants and exercise a few times a week. When I ate sugars and grains I was 50lbs heavier and looked 10 years older . I look around and feel sad and angry for the majority of the population who are overweight and obese that have been taught to eat grains, use “healthy” margarines and oils, drink diet soda with artificial sweeteners,and stay away from saturated fats. This is why i started this page. To take away the stigma that saturated animal fat clogs your arteries and instead teach people the truth: sugars and grains will cause diseases and obesity before anything else. I bet if our older friends and relatives who suffer from chronic disease stopped eating sugars and grains and started eating real foods , in many cases would drop off their medication ( and not to mention, lose a shit ton of weight NATURALLY) But instead they are taught to eat whatever they want and let the medicine keep the disease in check.... until the medicine won’t save you anymore .. I’m speaking generally because everyone’s food sensitivity is different , but in most cases this will be the truth. #ketoguido #keto #ketosis A post shared by Vinny (@ketoguido) on Mar 8, 2018 at 8:22pm PST
The Ketogenic Diet
Although Guadagnino is praising the keto diet for his transformation, he isn't the first celebrity to do so. Famous celebrities such as Halle Berry and Kourtney Kardashian have all expressed their love for the diet plan.
Celebrities more than likely appreciate the regimen because it minimizes carbohydrates and includes more fats. Once an individuals body has become accustomed to the diet, their body will go into ketosis. This means that the body does not have enough carbohydrates to use for energy, so instead, it creates ketones and begins to burn fat instead.
The keto diet was originally created to help those that developed epilepsy, but now it has become one of the most popular ways to lose weight. Though it may have worked extremely well for Guadagnino, it is not for everyone as it is a long-term plan.
