Former fat guy, Instagram influencer, and podcaster Mike “Gormy” Gorman is our special interview guest on Episode 1629 of The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.

“I totaled up my food from my old diet and I stopped counting at 25,000 calories.”

– Mike “Gormy” Gorman

Mike “Gormy” Gorman is a former fat guy who once weighed 540 pounds. Gormy is an Instagram influencer @gormy_goes_keto. He has a history of food addiction, starting as a child. He built a life that supported and enabled his food addiction and focused his world around food. As long as he could access food, he didn’t care about his health issues, reduced mobility, or an unhealthy lifestyle. Gormy realized, after not being able to find work, that he needed to change and get into better shape. He’s lost over 300lbs so far and focuses on putting a spotlight on men living large and phenomenal journeys.

Listen in as Jimmy and Gormy talk all about his journey from fat and unhealthy to taking charge of his health, the experience that made him want to lose weight, the mindset change that comes with losing weight, why keto was so successful for him, his podcast Fat Guy Forum, why his journey has not been a solo endeavor, and so much more.
