Fasting. Authentication. Inquire. Repeat
Cliff
Welcome to the Internet's least visited independent thoughts on wellness and decentralised Nutrition.(Updated August 2026)
This page aims to onboard all readers and visitors new to this entire Concept Initiative, the blog and manuscript ~ its intent(s), vision, and overall summation. The "Concept Initiative" here refers to any(one) of the following projects and subproject(s) This Author (AW / Andrewwiguna.com) commenced circa 2015:
- 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.
1/8 Public Impartiality Request
For privacy, free of surveillance-stigma, and acceptance of self-expression.
Unlike other content creators, I lead unpretentious yet busy and inundating daily life. Not every content creators are comfortable (though some are completely care-free) embracing their multiple endeavours irrespective of their social ecosystems.
Hence I present, as a request for public (members of public/ relative or not relative) impartiality (freedom of tethered judgments).
2/8 Work-In-Progress nature
This entire Concept Initiative, and all its sub-projects have been envisioned strictly as a work-in-progress.
3/8 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 its rough inception(s) in 2013 as a first (one-off printed copy), to December 2015 ("Humility Through Frugality") ~ this entire initiative, including its manuscripts and its books ~ remains free for all public viewership. Absolutely no monetary incentive has derived, from any or all time exerted thus far off This Author's (AW)'s own discretion use of time and resources.
This Concept Initiative is never intended to be clinically "prescriptive" by way of direct "advices" or for "treating" any chronic illnesses, beyond This Author's own (AW™) indemnity as a scrutinising member of public.
Citations wherever possible in form of Scientific literatures are provided as respectfully possible. Both "for' and "contrarian" views are presented in their most even manner possible.
3/8 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.
4/8 Questions Meet Answers Format.
The Book / Parent Manuscript was not envisioned as a long “thesis”. Instead, it is delivered in a Questions-Meet-Answers format. This allows a more conversational tone amidst readers' angst and/or shoes. All without the overly encumbering formalities of accountancy disclosures of other figure(s), identities, and/or prolonged dissertation-like length that majority of its peers in Self-Improvement and Nutrition Science often resort/overlap.
5/8 "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.
6/8 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.
7/8 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.
8/8 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.
