Serial Entrepreneur, Thom King – Guy Gone Keto

Thom King had always struggled with his weight, but that all changed when he adopted a healthy ketogenic lifestyle. In his book Guy Gone Keto, Thom details how perseverance and a high-fat, low-carb diet enabled him to drop five waist sizes in a single year!!

Thom’s essential wellness program includes tips for reading and understanding food labels, supportive techniques to make you feel capable and empowered, as well as tasty recipes and easy-to-follow meal plans that will keep you fit and healthy for life.

Thom King is also a serial entrepreneur, Founder and CEO of Steviva Brands Inc., after the natural sweetener stevia, iCon Foods. Thom’s companies are amongst the largest importers, manufacturers, and distributors of natural sweeteners, and…

Thom has also created an entirely new company and line of food products around his Guy Gone Keto brand, which I’m sure our fitness audience will love!

A self-described “bio hacker,” Thom has made it his life’s work to study food science and he’s on a mission is to help people eat healthier, avoid harmful sugars, and maintain diet and exercise habits that defeat metabolic disease which Thom calls “diabesity.”
