Megan’s love of cooking led her to create the hugely popular keto blog Mad Creations Hub where she shares her colourful, healthy keto and low carb recipes to inspire others to enjoy real food prepared simply. Megan discovered the keto lifestyle in early 2017 when she was diagnosed with insulin resistance and lost 30kgs (66lbs) changing to a low carb lifestyle.
