Welcome to the Internet's least visited independent thoughts on wellness and decentralised Nutrition.(Updated 16th October 2026)
Welcome to the Internet's least visited independent thoughts on nutrition. This page, aims to welcome all readers and/or visitors by onboarding this initiative's overview, intents and vision as nine (9) separate sections.
A little terminology disclosure before we shall begin:
- The "Book" or "parent manuscript" ~ Humility Through Frugality (2015). Nutritional-Humility.me (2017~present).
- The "Technical" Accompanying Manuscript Dietary Advanced Glycation End Products (2017~ present).
- This Blog and its array of articles on both the alternative and/or "decentralised" nutritional science experiences amidst themes of Economics / structural inaccessibility.
This Page is subject to periodical revisions overtime for readibility.
1/10 Public Impartiality Request
"Public" : members of public, including viewers and visitors prospective or retrospective to this Concept Initiative.
"Impartiality": freedom of bias, stigma or preconceptions.
This Concept Initiative advocates freedom of expression and self-journalism to advance and to channel together dialogues for self-optimisation from Economics and inaccessibility lenses. As such, many thoughts expressed herein might be perceived as challenging to the status quo. Public judgments out of, or from select individuals thus, may potentiate to frame, marginalize or worse - structuring This Author (Andrew / AW / Andrewwiguna) in a way that is prejudicial or conspirational.
Hence I present, as a request for public (members of public/ relative or not relative) impartiality (freedom of tethered judgments).
2/10 Work-In-Progress nature
This entire Concept Initiative, and all its sub-projects have been envisioned strictly as a work-in-progress.
3/10 Vision, Mission and Aims.
"Fasting. Authentication. Inquire. Repeat."
- A factual, on-going life account of nutritional frugality and self-improvement under structural theme of inaccessibility.
- An advocate channel for self-journalism through self-education (or "Autodidactism") ~ learning by doing, implementing and accounting through cumulatively, the above four (4) tenets ~ Fasting, Authenticate, Inquire, Repeat.
- A Purveyor of insights from current Scientific literatures to help infer, potentially where applicable ~ practical alleviations for human optimisation and resilience.
Since rough inception(s) in 2013 as a series of blog articles hosted as a Squarespace® Site, to then its first manuscript draft and manifest "Humility Through Frugality" in 2017 ~ this initiative and its contents - remains free for all public access and viewership. Absolutely no monetary incentive was derived.
Both "for' and "contrarian" scientific views are presented wherever topics and/or passages deemed novel, or contrarian to, the status quo.
4/10 "Getting Started" (reading series)
So how does one prepare, transition or adopt these various way of eating conscientiously and of all things scientifically relevant for Economics and variables of the self?
A gathering of articles are curated below for readers to acquaint with this Initiative's various concepts, and tenets for gradual transitionary learnings should they wish to adopt or adapt; towards scientific discipline, and nutritional self-awareness relative to their current lifestyle and hardship exposures of scarcity and inaccessibility (Economics).
Each article represents thought pieces written throughout the course of years, but never in a hindsight by This Author (AW)’s own curative experiences at applying in addition to acquainting with the scientific literatures.
- The Foundational Routines & Baseline Experience >>
Before one even begins making “dietary change”, overviews the importance and rationale at surveying one's current dietary, food selection habits, patterns and way of eating. - Selecting a Diet / Nutrition Formatting
>>
How should one select a diet? Two possible methods with introduction to Nutrigenomics. - SKD / Low carbohydrate diet >>
The beginner’s overview on standard ketogenic or low carbohydrate diet, curated from over a decade worth of reflective experience. - Nutritional Frugality / Budgeting / Expired Foods Handling (Pending / curative rewriting)
A "thus-far" retrospective at overviewing what is safe versus unsafe sub optimal foods. - Cyclical Keto / Cyclical Low carbohydrate (Pending / curative rewriting)
The overview and rationale on cyclical approach, and how this appeals to Economics and frugality. - Intermittent Fasting (Pending rewriting)
The next layer as survival challenge against Economics. Overview, and methodologies of Intermittent Fasting - Cyclical Keto / Low Carb + Intermittent Fasting (Pending rewriting)
The last and final challenge layer putting all our prior learning(s) to the test and beyond. Continuing on our Foundational Routines and self surveillance for perpetual self- assessment and reflection upon each newly introduced variable(s).
5/10 What separates this Initiative away from saturation?
It is much easier disclosing what this Concept Initiative do NOT preach. Chiefly - common signalling(s) and/or narratives as follows:
- "Everything in moderation".
- "Just eat 'healthy'".
- "Just eat a 'balanced' diet".
Whilst this Initiative's Vision and/or Mission shares likely among its peers as just simply that "Self-Improvement"; this Initiative implores far and beyond - at establishing its own Philosophic remark(s) and/or concepts below for readers to champion not only health and/or fitness goal/s but to facilitate together mindfulness, science and longevity as they re-adopt the various Stages and/or Phases within the Book .
- Fasting. Include, exclude.
- Authenticate. Testify, account, prove / disprove.
- Inquire. Question, reflect, encode, decode.
- Repeat. Consistency, rhythm, autonomy.
Then, there are end "call-to-actions" to compel both closure that embodies all the above, as follows
- "Live-It-Forward". to challenge against arithmetic "likes-&-subscribe" followship model.
6/10 Questions Meet Answers Format.
The Book / Parent Manuscript was not envisioned as a long “thesis”. Instead, it is written in a Questions-Meet-Answers format. This allows a more conversational reading, in stark contrast to the more "formal" writing styles of various self-help books, including that of instructional(s) for the slightly more esoteric readership.
This approach is by no means intended to be for novelty sake. Rather ~ to be empathetic for lay readership, and to remain objective at addressing ambiguities, one question at a time, as best from a singular voice and point of view lived through both This Author's experiences as well as supported by those where-ever possible through hundreds of citations and/or references.
7/10 "Live-It-Forward" Gratuity Model.
For many years since its inception (circa. 2015) this Initiative does not expect arithmetic “Likes” as gratitude. Such token is optional but ultimately not required. Likewise its Youtube® Channel does not asks its viewers to "follow", "like", or "hit the subscribe button".
Should anything this Initiative compel within visitors a thought (or two), then they are encouraged to express authentically ~ through sincere commenting and/or writing.
As such, they become active participants of "Live-it-forward" gratuity. Where the sharing and advocating of holistic biological and sociological experiences reciprocates as benevolent exchanges.
Instrumental thanksgiving of "Pay-It-Forward" meanwhile as "Likes" counter - is highly discounting on the recipient onto reciprocal spreading of that instrument, rather than anything meaningful from an organic interactivity level. As well - due to its instrumental sake on arithmetics "Likes" counter - remain prone to inflationary reception.
8/10 Other topics and subjects in parallel
Fair Enough™ concerns beyond topics of Nutrition. It is a contemplative space of its author (Andrew Wiguna) upon other nuance(s). From Veganism, the Mouse Utopia Experiment, and Survivorship Bias.
Worthy to read are the Annual Food For thoughts. Comprising of detailed insights on the Author's progressive experiences. Through supplementation, nutrition, psychology, and fitness training across each entire year. Readers and visitors will be assured to find days, if not weeks of informative reading. Such intensity of information and experience(s) they may not find anywhere else.
9/10 Transparent revision notices.
Fair Enough™ distinguishes itself against many of its commercialised peers. Never a "one-off" completion. It remains subjective for pragmatic revisions for progressivity and clarity overtime.
8/8 MeWe® Social Media Channel.
As of March 2019, Google+ no longer becomes active. All content have been migrated to MeWe®; a privacy-centric social media platform. Going forward, this will serve as frontal news hub for this Project. As well as that of the author's own personal social network.
10/10 Third party and AI / Automation / generative tools disclosure
Since this initiative's beginnings in 2015 (Humility Through Frugality [2015] and Nutritional Humility [2017]), absolutely nothing of the sort of third party support, be it proof readers, marketers, content writers have been resorted.
Likewise - the use of AI or automation / generative tools including text to prompt LLM's or language learning models ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, copilot to name a few. These have NOT been relied upon throughout the main books' writing(s) AS WELL AS the current re-writing in progress.
ALL video editing(s) and recordings featuring appearances of This Author (AW) - also have NOT been relied on third party automations be it gap editing assistance, or "summarizer" or the like. AI-generated videos and/or artworks likewise, have NOT been relied on, other than the freely available photography and/or videography resources under Creative Commons.
However, there are only two (2) realms or contexts where by assistive tools are needed.
- In the context of research and nuance(s) for surface subject-matter acquaintance. And;
- Only in very specific concept IP / intellectual property sub-project involving significantly beyond and outside of This Author's (AW) own credentials.
The latter will be thoroughly explained in their intention, application and implication(s) throughout their own feature article writings.
Thank you.
Your viewership and written thoughts on this Initiative are appreciated. All this is a work in progress. Changes come and go.
Perhaps years later from now - this Project is a stepping stone for something else much bigger.
Live-It-Forward.
