I’m curious what your sources are on the claims of heart disease and dementia? I am a big fan of Gironda’s work and only discovered him about three years ago, so I am by no means an expert. I’ve read everything of his I can get my hands on – and everything I can find written about him – and have never heard either claim. I have heard that he died of a “broken” heart since his son was having health troubles and he had to close shop on his gym less than a year before his death, but never heart disease.

A quick Google search also reveals only one blog comment from someone else who claims it to be true, and nothing else on the subject.

You very well may know better than me, and possibly have known Gironda himself, so consider me simply a big Gironda fan looking for more information.

Regardless, like Derek said, one indisputable fact is that he lived just one month shy of his 80th birthday – longer than the national average.

I don’t have an in depth response for this at the moment but Gironda did live longer than the average man – 79.

And Vince wouldn’t eat like this all the time. I’ve heard from a few sources that he was pretty close to vegetarian when he wasn’t trying to put on muscle.

This definitely is not a sustainable, healthy way to eat. My point is that people calling me ‘crazy’ and inferring that they’re more healthy than me while they eat refined carbs is ridiculous and naive.

Thanks for the comment. I was always curious how Vince died.

Not a lot of the bodybuilding bs rags talk about this. Nor the other bodybuilders who’ve had massive heart attacks over the years. Coe, Padilla and on and on…

Also some brisk walking wouldn’t have hurt your cause.

High fat diet is inflammatory and acne was the result for you, counteract the inflammation with alkaline foods.

It helps you build muscle faster when you do this too.

I’ve eaten as many as 18 eggs a day, 12 for breakfast and 6 others in a couple protein shakes later in the day.

My blood work is fine too.

Meanwhile the guys eating “normal”–like corn flakes/poptarts/pancakes for breakfast, bagel for lunch, plate of pasta and rice for dinner, and downing a gallon of chocolate ice cream before bed–are suffering from heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

cheers

This diet is more based around Vince Girondas ideas and all credit is given. Thanks for your comment and I hope that clears things up a bit.

Man, Vince Gironda says that eggs are the best food, especially because good cholesterol is a precursor of muscle building hormones like testosterone. This guy took that saying verbatim and drank this special protein shake 3 times per day for multiple …
