The Keto Genie Story

As an entrepreneur and a trained chef, my love of food and business became combined. For years I thought about manufacturing my own products but it wasn’t until I discovered the Keto diet that the idea took hold.

At 52, I was 4kg overweight (I know, it’s not much….but I still couldn’t fit my jeans without feeling like I couldn’t breathe!), I was getting regular headaches and was tired a lot of the time.

I made a decision to go ‘cold turkey’ and start Keto.  That was mid 2019 and I haven’t touched sugar, potato chips, pasta or the other carb-fest foods since. 

The problem with eating cheesy concoctions and all these delicious keto foods - is what the heck do you eat them on. I missed bread & crackers!!!!

I searched and searched for decent recipes and couldn’t find one that I was truly happy with, so I began the R&D on my own bread.

Within a few weeks I felt I had a winner. My husband gladly sampled everything and couldn’t believe how good it was! A few months later and not one bad loaf. Friends started to ask me bout what I was eating and so they organically grew into my guinea pigs. With a pre-mix bread package and a few instructions, they were told to go make it without any help from me. Before long they were sending me photos and comments on the bread and requests for more!  

And so, I began the process of working through from home cook to foodie entrepreneur and here we are. I can honestly say this bread is so incredibly simple to make and it tastes great. It’s made from real food, is nutritious and supports you on the Keto diet.  It stays moist and lasts for days in or out of the fridge.

I truly believe that with a healthy life-style such as Keto, physical problems that are dietary based, can often be handled. This way of life does more than just handle physical problems, it helps people's emotional state - for example if someone is over-weight and through Keto, loses weight, not only do they give themselves a healthier body and more energy, they also generally have more self-confidence and often, a more positive outlook.

A great healthy life-style reduces stress and anxiety among other things. I hope to play my part in helping others achieve their best, and through Keto Genie, I feel that I can do that.  

In addition to the breads, I have a tonne of ideas for other products that will be available later in 2020. So watch this space……
