Title: Vince Gironda Diet question?
Post by: Thong Maniac on March 17, 2015, 05:45:06 PM
Vince was big into the red meat and egg diet and zero carbs, but did he give cAlorie requirements? I noticed all sorts if posts if people talking about doing 5000 cals of meat and cream and getting ripped. How the fuck is that possible?

It's not possible.  If it is excess it will be turned into fat.  Entirety of human evolution was to take advantage of caloric excess.  It is why we are so efficient at producing fatties now.

Here is an example.  A friend of mine had an avocado tree in her backyard. The avocados used to get ripe and fall and her dogs would eat them.  Both dogs got fat as shit.  Vegetable fats and dogs, but even then, they STILL GOT FAT.

So then how do all these rumors get started? Just meat and unlimited cream and people sayin they get ripped. Cream is so delicious i can down 2000 kcals of it one sitting. Do these stories come from people who cant eat much?

Exactly, people say a lot of shit.  Cybergenics said you'd gain many pounds of lean muscle by following their program.  It was bullshit and worse bullshit you paid for.  Buuuuut, it is very easy to test.  Try it out for 3 weeks and see.  What is the worse that could happen?  You gain about 5-6 lbs of fat.

Thong Maniac: You're not going to stop eating carbs anyway, so why do you care? This is what, the fifth time you're posting about an extremely low carb diet, and you still haven't stopped eating carbs. Either cut the carbs out of your diet, and lose your blubber, or don't, but stop asking the same stupid question over and over.

Someone else posted that Avocados made dogs fat. Yes, Avocados are fruit, and therefore carbs, that no one should be eating on an extremely low carb diet, so yes they make you fat. Animals, bears, deer all eat fruit, carbs, in the autumn, to get fat for winter. You want to get fat, then eat carbs. Works every time.

Joe: Do you have my diet ready?

Rory: Yes. All protein. no carbs, cheat day on Sunday

Joe: all protein?

Rory: yes. Chicken. Meat, cheese, bacon, eggs, etc. just no carbs.

What I ate...

1- 4-6 eggs w/ground beef

2- 1 pound of ground beef w/ catsup

3- more eggs and maybe some chicken

4- tuna salad w/mayo (if I went to a restaurant I got 2-3 scoops)

5- more red meat.

If I got hungry ( and I was all the time) find some protein. Bacon, cheese or whatever. If it didn't have carbs, eat it.

End result was I got shredded. No mention of calories...ever. Laws of thermodynamics.

Why would you need to count calories on an all protein diet?

Even if you eat 300 gram a day it's only 1200 cals.

Restricted calories = weight loss, but not fat loss. When you restrict calories, your body burns everything, but body fat. The body hoards its body fat. Notice that the restricted concentration camp inmates, didn't have visible abs either, because the body was hoarding body fat on the usual place, the stomach.

The 5 weeks didn't count because you had cheat days, that fucks up the AD, for body fat loss. Cheat days are only for an AD maintenance diet. That's why you are maintaining your body fat, instead of losing it.

so likely more fat than protein

basically a keto diet

Keto diets are calorie restrictive diets in a manor of speaking. When in a ketogenic state you are satisfied by the fats you eat while in ketosis. While you may not actually count calories you will find it doesn't take you all that much food after a week or so on the diet to feel full.

Also, when you take out the carbs, you reduce fat intake as well. Pretty much all the high carb foods have a lot of fat, as well: Pizza, cake, cookies, ice cream, Mac & cheese, burgers and fries etc.

Not true. All grains have little fat, but make you fat. Root crops potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, beets, etc, have little fat, but make you fat. Fruit is fructose, a major body fat maker, but most fruits have little fat. Carbs are what really makes people fat.

De Novo Lipogenesis (carbs stored as fat) is a very minor pathway. Fat is what actually gets stored as fat. The excess carbs create the conditions for this to happen.

Moreover, the body only hoards fat when you get down to low levels. The body doesn't hoard fat when you're at 20%. That's why it's relatively easy to get from 20 to 10, but very hard to get lower.
Title: Re: Vince Gironda Diet question?
Post by: Thin Lizzy on March 18, 2015, 05:14:52 PM
Gironda still allowed a high carb meal every four day on the low carb diet.

After a few days, you will most likely open up enough glycogen storage space to get away with it without adding fat.

That said, I'm in the camp that believes if you're gonna diet then diet. No cheat days until you're where you want to be. Cheat days just drag out the process.

In poor countries, the carbs are just enough to support people's metabolisms. In a rich country like the U.S, the carbs put people in a surplus.

There's a guy named Ben Greenfield who has a fitness podcast. In one episode, he talked about a speaking gig he had on a low carb cruise, and noticing that everyone was fat, and ate huge portions.

I read that the average American daily caloric intake is 3700. I'd say about 700 is protein with the rest split somewhat evenly between carbs and fat, 350-400 grams for the former, 150-200 for the latter.

So, the "cure" for the obesity epidemic is to simply cut carb and fat intake in half.

If it is surrounded by another 300g of fat then that's another 2700 calories for a total of 3900 calories.

Yes. And, what is this 3 days out of 40-45 days shit? You said you were pigging out on carbs, like crazy, every Sunday. As I've told you before, either do it right, or forget about it. If it comes from a plant don't eat it, even if it's fats and proteins from plants.

Low-carb diets have got it all wrong?

http://www.precisionnutrition.com/low-carb-diets

What's the truth about T3 and testosterone on low-carb?

The truth is that hormone levels rise when you eat carbs, because the body needs the hormones to fight the inflammation, that eating carbs causes in your body. What is considered a "normal" T-3 level today, would have been considered a high T-3 level 150 years ago, if they could have checked those levels back then, because they ate way fewer carbs, back then. Adrenal, thyroid, and other glands are burning out on today's high carb diet. Why do you think there is this epidemic of Type II Diabetes? Diabetes isn't a communicable disease. It's caused entirely by high carb diet. The higher testosterone levels found in people with high carb diet, aren't being used to build muscle tissue, but to fight the inflammation caused by eating carbs. Why do you think testosterone levels have fallen for young men over the years? Because the gland is burning out, because of high carb intake, and can't produce enough for guys in their 30s.

Hormones are made from proteins and fats. No hormones are made from carbohydrates. Carbs are not essential for human health, so there is really no reason to eat them at all.

"you feel lousy, spaced-out, sluggish, cranky...and maybe even sick," on an extremely low carb diet. Yes, those are withdrawal symptoms. They go away after a few weeks when you get over your carb addiction.

The keto diet is a high fat (70%) and Protein (30%) diet, with well under 10% carbs per meal. And that's what low carb fat loss diet needs to work in a reasonable amount of time. Diets with 30%+ carbs being called "low carb" is absurd.

If you don't want to live with the extremely low carb lifestyle, then fine, don't do it, but don't make up lies about it. The "food" industry wants everyone to pay high prices for cheaply produced carbs, and the "medical" industry profits mightily from you eating carbs too.

Vince's "Steak and Eggs" Diet...The Steak and Eggs Diet


The diet is very much what it sounds like…
 
…You eat steak and eggs either cooked in butter, or any way you want. You could eat the eggs raw, boiled, etc. You could also eat the meat raw if that’s your thing.
 
1. On the diet you eat only 2 times a day. No snacking or any bullshit like that. Either by eating a breakfast and supper, or lunch and dinner.
 
Meal number #1 is 3/4 lb to 1 1/2 pounds of steak and 4-6 eggs with butter, raw, or anyway you want to eat them.
 
Meal number #2 is exactly the same as meal number 1.
 
2. You don’t count calories and you don’t have to measure the butter you’re using when cooking, as much as you like is the right way to go in this diet.
 
3. Every 5th day is a “cheat day”. You can eat whatever the fuck you want. By this I mean whatever you want.
 
4. Repeat.
 
That’s it. Simple and extremely effective. Your fat will just melt away. Guaranteed.
 
This is the ultimate no-bullshit diet. It doesn’t require anything else than willpower and willpower only.

Keto diets are calorie restrictive diets in a manor of speaking. When in a ketogenic state you are satisfied by the fats you eat while in ketosis. While you may not actually count calories you will find it doesn't take you all that much food after a week or so on the diet to feel full.

yes, I've definitely noticed this too and this is one of the advantages for the average person who is used to eating carbs and being hungry all the time

It's odd that  coach says he was eating multiple pounds of meat, eggs, dairy, etc.. and also was hungry all the time

Got to say.. in regards to the exercise part, which was two lines.. your body emulsifies fat like a burning furnace...only if you do it regular. This is the key, regular training. I know Athletes who eat like horses to fuel their training but never get fat. Why? regular running... The Human body was made to walk long distance.

So we can use other dumb people to support our dumb ideas and suddenly that makes it correct? Going to have to use that technique sometime.

Only read a little bit of that but the very fact that he says that it is pushed calories in/calories out to misinform everyone shows his nonsense. That is actually not pushed as much as all the fake fad diets nowadays (including low carb, etc.). It's the complete opposite actually. People want no accountability and would love to be told eat as much as you want and as long as it is protein/fat you won't gain an ounce of fat, etc. Sounds like you are the one doing the pushing....

Why would you respond to those threads,(such as this thread), when you don't even like the idea of any extremely low carb diet? Seems you are the one whose cage is being rattled, any time someone mentions low carb. Get that checked.

Thank you for acknowledging that and not acknowledging the point made about that article.

Also, my main issue with you is that you promote eating unlimited amounts of food and not gaining fat as long as protein/fat which is a straight out falsity. OP questioned this in opening statement in general. I actually have nothing against low carb and have stated this. Did I like it for me? Nope but some love it and that is fine but don't want them to be deluded into thinking what you state about calories and from the looks of this thread and the last few you have posted in people are realizing the issues with your "theory".

Try it if you think it is going to work, whatever it is, low carb, hi fat whatever.  You will know within a month whether it works.  Simple.  Franco said, if it works it works, no matter what anyone says.  If you can't try something for a month and tell if it is working then you got bigger problems.

All these gurus and people with theories are trying to sell you something.  When it doesn't work, they'll come up with some bullshit excuse or claim you didn't follow their instructions.  Ask for a 100 percent money back guarantee.  Anyone willing to give this might be on the level.

Straw I think that's because hes not as carb sensitive as some folks. I respond very well to keto diets and end up being stuffed after a large green salad with ranch, a 12oz steak and some veggies.

It's not possible.  If it is excess it will be turned into fat.  Entirety of human evolution was to take advantage of caloric excess.  It is why we are so efficient at producing fatties now.

Here is an example.  A friend of mine had an avocado tree in her backyard. The avocados used to get ripe and fall and her dogs would eat them.  Both dogs got fat as shit.  Vegetable fats and dogs, but even then, they STILL GOT FAT.

Let me poke holes in your story. Avocados DO NOT get ripe on the tree.  It's only when they're picked or fall that the ripening process begins.  It takes about 3 weeks before they're even edible.  I know this because I have a couple big trees.

Im coming to realize this, however, i can see how this form of eating would be GREAT for an endo who wants to grow. I was growing on 3200 cals a day of AD, And kept waist size. Cutting on this seems pointless so far since it all comes down to cals.

i can definitely see the benefit of starting the AD once you are lean like 8-10, and want to put on lean tissue

All I know, people who live Keto life style, look like they aged 10-20 years. No wonder, it also depletes all your water under your skin. Another reason I'm against no carb is:

"A bodybuilders myoctyes (muscle cells) have a massive bias to being predominately fast twitch fibres compared to the slow twitch fibre of say a marathon runner or maybe cross country skier. Fast twitch fibres can generate more force but slow twitch fibres are better at utilising oxygen and fats because of a higher mitochondrial density. While fast twitch fibres need to carry out quick processes this requires immediate energy in the form of glucose, ATP, and creatinephosphate.

Someone on a low carb diet could never hope to train as hard as someone consuming a high carb diet, physiologically it doen’t make sense.

All I know, people who live Keto life style, look like they aged 10-20 years. No wonder, it also depletes all your water under your skin. Another reason I'm against no carb is:

"A bodybuilders myoctyes (muscle cells) have a massive bias to being predominately fast twitch fibres compared to the slow twitch fibre of say a marathon runner or maybe cross country skier. Fast twitch fibres can generate more force but slow twitch fibres are better at utilising oxygen and fats because of a higher mitochondrial density. While fast twitch fibres need to carry out quick processes this requires immediate energy in the form of glucose, ATP, and creatinephosphate.

Someone on a low carb diet could never hope to train as hard as someone consuming a high carb diet, physiologically it doen’t make sense.

So my argument to this is...

1. Training with weights for 45min to an hour IS NOT HARD. Your body can handle that without carbs. Its not marathon training

2. Of course for performance, carbs are ideal and NEEDEd. Power lifting, marathons, high impact strenous endeavors should utilize carbs. Gym rats lifting for hypertrophy...not really needed

3. Even the author of AD says carbs are needed if performance is the goal.

Im comparing a session of weights to training for legit athletic events like track meets, marathons, etc.
i think people really over state the amount of carbs needed for the average gym rats session of 12 sets with 2 minutes rest and chatting between each set.

Let me poke holes in your story. Avocados DO NOT get ripe on the tree.  It's only when they're picked or fall that the ripening process begins.  It takes about 3 weeks before they're even edible.  I know this because I have a couple big trees.

Look, this story definitely happened.  Now maybe I got it wrong and the avocados were falling from the tree onto the ground and the dogs were eating them, but it definitely happened.  I stood there in the back yard and saw the avocado trees and witnessed said fat dogs.

On another point whoever posted that it was the carbs in the avocados making the dogs fat is a moron.

It was the carbs in the avocados that made the dogs fat. There are nine grams of carbs in a cup of pureed avocado, and the dogs were eating the skins of the fruit too, and that would be way more carbs. Also plant based fats are bad to eat, and can be turned to body fat by eating them with carbs that spike insulin levels to fat creation levels in the body.

The good fats are from animal sources.

Yes, I'm sure it was the carbs and not the 4-5 times as many calories of fat in each avocado.

It's not about what's needed, it's about what's optimal. You don't "need" all that protein either really, but chose to take more as you get better results, see what I'm getting at? But you seem to do well lower carb and that's very possible.

The reason the Keto movement has failed to succeed, other than temporarily, is that it's based on the flawed assumption that Americans eat a high carb, low fat diet. When in reality, Americans eat a high carb, high fat diet.

This miscalculation has resulted in Keto dieters attempting to replace the carbs removed from the diet with fats. So, guys like Fat Jimmy Moore (left, below), Author of "Keto Clarity" are dousing everything with oil, guzzling heavy cream, and not seeing results.

In their food addicts minds, they're on the right path, and while they're still fat they're fat for the right reasons.

No. The reason some keto, and low carb diets, fail, is that they're not real low carb diets at all, just BS published as "low carb," by fifth column phonies, secretly promoted by the food industry. People try diets, falsely labeled as "low carb," or "keto," don't get results, then say those diets don't work.

Jimmy Moore is a deliberate fraud. Use your brain. Why would anyone, try any diet, promoted by a fat slob?

You're just pretending there's no difference between 2k and 3k calories. What exactly happens to that extra 1k? And, don't tell training. Bodybuilding doesn't burn much fat.

We're really not far apart. You just won't concede that calories matter.

As long as they're not carb calories, then they don't matter. Don't eat sugars and starches, and only less than 10% green and leafy vegetables, as your only carbs, then you can eat all the fats and proteins, from animal sources, in roughly 70% fats and 30% protein portions, that you want, or can eat, and you not only won't get fat, in fact you will lose body fat.

Not a complicated plan that I could publish and make a big buck off of, just a simple word to the wise. Again, if you want to GetBig, then you have to EatBig. Worked for the Old Skool guys, and no drugs needed.

Sure. More carb calories. That's what you did already, bulking, eating carbs, making body fat, not muscle tissue. Eating more carb calories just makes you fat, and "dieting down" doesn't create muscle tissue. But, whatever.
