: Episode 1186 – Jersey Shore’s Vinny Guadagnino, the Keto Guido, joins Vinnie this Friday, and the two talk growing up Italian, Jersey Shore, the benefits of a low-carb, ketogenic diet, and more!
VINNY G
- Vinny is Sicilian, like Vinnie
- Named Vincent, rather than Vincenzo, trying to Americanize it
- Now, his family is going back to Italian names
- Both he and Vinnie were not “Vincenzo”
- Still had traditional Italian family values
- Vinnie is the reason Vinny got into low-carb/keto
- Vinny was the more balanced person on Jersey Shore
- Overall, calm, nerdy (comparatively), college-grad, law school-bound, guy to counterbalance the crazy on the show
- Jersey Shore was TONS of work
- Between filming and PR, it was nuts
- Spent lots of time in night clubs
- Paid to show up places
KETO GUIDO
- Check out his Instagram here
- Vinny has had a ton of success with a low carb diet
- Lost a lot of weight himself
- In 2015, he got really into it
- Went down the rabbit hole
- Got a keto cookbook
- His friends thought it was weird, but now his Instagram has almost 600k followers
- He says he’s not an expert, he’s someone with anecdotal evidence
- It takes guys like Vinny to spread this around because people listen to him!
- He is amazed by the same luminaries that Vinnie has on this show
- Nina Teicholz is one of those people
