Gym, tan, keto! Vinny Guadagnino opened a separate Instagram account, @ketoguido, in October 2017 to show his progress on the ketogenic diet and share tips. As his amazing before and after photos and body fat percentages show, progress has certainly been made! The Jersey Shore star dropped 50 pounds since starting his weight loss journey on the high-protein, high-fat, low-carb diet plan that plenty of other celebrities follow — including Jenna Jameson, who famously lost 80 pounds on the plan. And he shares helpful diet tips on his feed, including easy, sugar-free keto recipes. For the MTV personality, his diet — combined with both intermittent fasting and a dedication to a new fitness plan — has led to a lean, ripped physique. Scroll through to see the reality star’s before and after pics, including plenty of impressive shirtless selfies.

Gym, tan, laundry is now gym, tan, keto. The Jersey Shore star shared a new before and after shot with his followers while talking about his forthcoming cookbook. “The first part of #TheKetoGuidoCookBook is how I went from left to right. The second part are 100 of my favorite #keto recipes and stories about them,” he wrote. Once again, Guadagnino shared how much better he felt since losing 50 pounds and adopting the high-protein, low-carb lifestyle, noting he “has energy and motivation to workout everyday.” Added the MTV personality, the keto diet “helps me always have a lean and solid foundation and motivates me to workout, intermittent fast, and build on that foundation.”

Healthy looks good on him — and publishers took note! After dropping 50 pounds on the diet since October 2017, Jersey Shore’s Vinny Guadagnino announced to his Instagram followers that he’s coming out with The Keto Guido Cookbook. “I’ve been teasing you guys for a while, but it’s time to officially announce my new book! It's called The Keto Guido Cookbook: Delicious Recipes to Get Healthy and Look Great,” the star wrote. “I’m no expert, but I found a way of life that works for me! The NUMBER ONE question I get from followers is ‘Where do I begin?’ So here it is...I put 100 of my favorite recipes and a 7-day meal plan into this book.”

Guadagnino knows it’s not about how long it takes you to lose weight and tone up — it’s about how sustainable the method is. Posting side-by-side shirtless photos on Instagram from the beginning of his keto journey to present day, he wrote, “I’ve always been able to get from left to right in a matter of months by committing to almost ANY diet and workout plan. But after being done with those miserable diets and workout plans I would always go back from right to left.” Following the keto diet, however, allowed him to maintain his sleek physique for “about 4-5 years now,” he wrote. “How did I do that? Basically flipping the traditional food pyramid upside down and finding a way of eating that’s enjoyable, satisfying, healthy, and one that never requires me to go on a ‘diet.’”

The Keto Guido’s work has paid off and then some! Guadagnino was more cut than ever when he showed off his low body fat and high muscle tone as a special celebrity guest at the Chippendale Theatre at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. And yes, he did perform in the show.

Guadagnino responded to Instagram’s #10yearchallenge and #howharddidaginghityou challenges with side-by-side photos from 2009 and 2019. As he made clear, he felt in shape in the “before” photo in which he was 21 years old — it was only after that point that he began to gain weight. “I’ve had some fat unhealthy years in between,” he explained. But now, “eating natural fat, protein, and veggies instead of processed sugar and carbs has brought me back to 21 #ketoguido.”

Following the Christmas holidays, Guadagnino celebrated getting back to the gym. “Monday and Tuesday I ate like a pig and after injecting sugar into my blood for two days I honestly was ready to get back to eating meat and vegetables,” he wrote. “It’s always been tough for me to work out as well in the midst of eating bad during the holidays but this time I sucked it up.” The trick worked: “After the rest of the week of sweating, intermittent fasting , and eating Keto .. I feel good again.”

The reason for his drastically changed body is simple. “Left: bread, pasta, sugar ,fried food , low fat products,” the reality star wrote. “Right: bacon, full fat cheese ,avocados , fatty steak , fatty fish, greens.” He also assured followers that he’s relying only on diet and exercise and that he considers keto a lifestyle, not a fad: “No steroids , no supplements,” he wrote.

He brought the heat in the summer of 2018! “High Carb Low Fat on the left (2015) .... Low Carb High Fat on the right (today)... and people still claim that meat causes more inflammation than sugar 🤦🏻‍♂️... maybe for some but not for this #ketoguido,” he wrote.

Proud of his progress! In the caption for these images, Guadagnino confessed he’d “never posted a photo from when I was overweight because it always embarrassed me putting it out there to millions.” Knowing it would inspire people, however, he went for it, describing the photos in his typical straightforward fashion: “On the left you have chunky Vinny . Chunky Vinny eats a lot of bread, pasta , pizza , fried food, and sugary desserts and is always hungry.” Meanwhile, #ketoguido on the right “doesn’t eat any bread , pasta , or grains (whole wheat or not) and no sugary foods. He reads the labels of everything he eats to make sure there aren’t hidden sugars in them. He doesn’t count calories, he eats fatty delicious food , grease , vegetables never feels deprived , is rarely hungry ,has a cheat meal once in a while, is full of energy and mental clarity and exercises several times a week.”
