re: Vince Gironda's Steak and Eggs diet, a journey into strict keto

No carb is not needed, just something I said I would do with my wife for Lent and if I do something I tend to to go all the way.

I read all of Vince’s stuff about 10 years ago. I respect his contributions but training and nutrition have come a long way since his time.

Not really. I mean some of his ideas like you have to go zero carb or some of his stuff with water was a little out there, but they worked then and they work now. Plus Vince was huge on digestion and digestive enzymes. Also alot of the supplements he recommended was because they didn't have any better.

Nothing wrong with his training at all other than some of his exercises can be problematic for those with shoulder or knee issues. But the workouts are great.

Also you have to remember, Vince was coming strictly from a bodybuilding standpoint in training and nutrition. He cared only about building muscle in the right places.

He advocated for progressive overload through density training because of this and he was the first one to bring up density training. Vince didn't care at all about strength at all and it shows in his exercise selection. Also he was huge on not making the waist big with squats and deadlifts.

Vince was quirky and an a-hole, but his methods worked and still do.
