After reaching more than 110 kilos I decided I needed to lose weight and unable to find a breakfast cereal on the supermarket shelves that was both low in fat and tasty, I decided to make my own. I used ingredients that were of the highest quality that I loved and that tasted great. After giving some away to a friend to try and being told it was better than anything on the market, I thought I would package some for sale. I worked on unusual combinations of ingredients and gave them saucy names like Summer Fling, to have some fun, but also to let people know it wasn't a boring breakfast cereal. From there others agreed and the demand soon outstripped supply, taking our tiny operation and one outlet, to a commercial kitchen that now produces 5 varieties for our customers in every nook and cranny in Australia.

So the secret to my weight loss? Well there is no secret. If you choose foods that have a low glycaemic index, they will keep you feeling full for longer. This in combination with exercise, a balanced approach to what you eat, drinking lots of water and having a sense of humour has worked for me and I hope it also works for you.

Good luck
