Vinny from the cast of Jersey Shore has so far lost an impressive 50 lbs be using the keto diet…
He became so inspired by his experience, that he decided to start an Instagram account dedicated to it – KetoGuido, to share his progress and provide tips to others on the keto diet plan.
All my fellow KGs need a @djpaulyd alarm clock to get them going in the morning ! ? #ketoguido

If you’re unsure, the keto diet plan is all about minimizing carbohydrate input and replacing it with fats. That means your cells don’t have enough carbohydrates to use for energy, so your body creates ketones and burns fat instead. It was originally developed for epilepsy patients, but is now widely followed for general weight loss. It’s very hard to follow apparently, and it definitely on the controversial list as far as many doctors are concerned.
Vinny has been on the receiving end of some teasing from the other cast members, especially when he picked the cheese and pepperoni off a pizza, ate that and then threw away the crust!
He says that it’s all been worth it though “When I ate sugars and grains, I was 50 pounds heavier and looked 10 years older,” he wrote in one caption. “I’ve discovered the fountain of youth.”
