^^

He was pretty much the first advocate of the KETO diet, bacon & eggs without toast for breakfast, steak/hamburger and salad for dinner.
Old-School Protein shakes made with heavy cream blended with raw eggs kept in the fridge and sipped throughout the day to keep you in positive nitrogen balance.
***ONCE a week, you were to have a high-carb cheat meal to recharge your metabolism.

Yes, Keto with refeeds, and a few other odd things like a vegetarian day/period to balance you out if you needed it.

http://ditillo2.blogspot.com/2016/09/gironda-talks-about-bodybuilding-armand.html .

http://ditillo2.blogspot.com/2013/10/middle-age-and-over-vince-gironda.html .

Those two articles / interviews have some insight.

Edit - Talk about a voice not matching a perception -

.

Bit convoluted, but he basically tells the guy keto, with a focus on natural sources, and liver tablets.
