At the age of 15, I found myself fighting for my life. While out running one night, out of the blue, my throat began to swell to close over. This caused me to collapse and fall to the ground unconscious.

It would take my almost 20 years to discover that I have exercised induced anaphylaxis.

During those many years I tried every way I knew how, to get the answers I was looking for. But every medical professional I spoke to told me that "It was not possible". It seemed like my body was allergic to itself and no matter how many tests I did, the answer couldn't be found.

This started me on a journey. A journey to discover a way to get my body into the shape I knew it could be. I tried every diet you can imagine. Fasting, 5:2, juicing, no/low carbs, whole food diets, restricting anything fun out of what I would eat. None of it worked. And as time went on, I became more and more self conscious and residing to the fact that this was just my body and no matter how hard I tried, this was it for me.

Until after 10 years of trying to improve myself and using my analytical mind, I discovered Macro Tracking. I joined a very active social media group and I read as many posts as I could. I had been a mechanic for the last few years and with that diagnostic way of thinking, combined with this new information I found I started to see results for the first time. I couldn't believe it. I keep reading for months. Absorbing like a sponge.

I still wasn't totally convinced that I had cracked the code so I hired two weight loss coaches that had just started a meal planning business here in Sydney. They told me things like I had "damaged my metabolism" and "I needed to slowly eat more and more to speed my body up". And after asking them a few questions, they crushed me. They told me I had no idea what I was talking about and I would never reach my goals unless I followed exactly what they said. So I politely parted ways with them after they refused to refund me for my unused time on their plan, and went back to the Macros.

I started implementing what I had learned and for the first time in my life I saw consistent weight loss each week. And it wasn't long until I started sharing my advice to other people who were struggling with their body image and weight. But it became clear to me that Macro Tracking was too hard for a lot of people to do. People would not only have to track the calories that they were eating which was hard enough for some people, but they would also have to track their protein, fats and carbs that they had eaten each day as well.

So I continued to absorb as much information as I could. I discovered that you could calculate the calories in the food you ate from the protein, fats and carbs that you are eating. So I tried it.

The first time I calculated the calories, the numbers didn't add up. They were slightly off. That didn't make sense...

So I tried again. The numbers were wrong again. Even worse this time. So I went to the pantry and grabbed a whole bunch of foods. Most of the calories number were wrong on the packet...

My mind was blown. The information was wrong. Everything. Almost every food. And then Body Results Academy was born.

We built a food tracking platform that doesn't trust the information on the packets of food. The platform calculates it. The results were astonishing.

People who had never been able to lose weight their entire lives were eating bowls of Doritos and eating Pad Thai and consistently losing weight week after week. Finally set free of the idea that this is just their body.
