At *Ketobiography*, we spotlight real people creating real change through low-carb living, and today's guest is no exception. Tim Mallien returns to share the next chapter in his remarkable transformation.
After first appearing on *Less of Me Success Stories* over a year ago, Tim found himself slipping back into unhealthy habits. But instead of staying stuck, he hit pause, recommitted to his health, and took consistent action, shedding nearly 100 pounds in the process.
In this deeply honest episode, Tim opens up about his second "rock bottom," letting go of toxic habits like sugar addiction and scale obsession, and finding strength through accountability, community, and carnivore-based simplicity. From shirt sizes to mindset shifts, Tim’s journey is one of humility, grit, and inspiring change.
