Eager to rediscover his best form and revitalise his career, Kasiano sought out the help and assistance of the Storm training staff to devise a plan that would help him shed the pounds.
"All the trainers here are unbelievable. They've been helping me with what to eat, when to eat, all that stuff," he said.
"I've been asking them, I've been going to them and asking what I should eat, and they've been really good."
The new-look Kasiano is expected to get his first run in Storm colours when the reigning premiers take on Leeds Rhinos in the World Club Challenge at AAMI Park on February 16.
What's expected to be a second-string Storm outfit will take on the Warriors a day later in their pre-season trial in Rotorua on February 17.
