Analysis: Glycemic Load
The Nasi Lemak
Metabolic Reset
Adapting Science to the Equator
Generic Western calorie deficits fail here because they ignore the Nasi Lemak Effect: high-glycemic staples plus tropical humidity accelerate insulin spikes differently. We don't fight culture; we recalibrate it.
Most clients hitting the "3pm crash" aren't tired—they are reacting to a refined-carb lunch that floods the bloodstream with glucose. The solution isn't less food; it's a different chemistry set entirely.
"Your body isn't a calculator. It's a chemistry set adapted to the equator."
Consultation Packages: The Diagnostic Path
We don't sell meal plans; we engineer metabolic shifts. Choose your entry point based on how deep you want to go.
Baseline
RM 350- • 45-min Deep Dive Audit
- • Food Diary Critique
- • "Health Halo" Report
21-Day Reset
RM 950- + 3 x Progress Sessions
- + Mamak & Ramadhan Protocols
- + The Field Guide Notebook
Longevity
Quarterly- • PCOS / Pre-Diabetes Focus
- • Biomarker Tracking
- • Quarterly Re-assessment
Packages are evaluated on robustness (ability to sustain social eating) and transferability (skills learned apply post-program). We sacrifice rapid weight loss speed for hormonal stability. Warning: Not suitable for clients seeking medication-free insulin management without dietary adherence.

Weight Management: The Reality Check
It's about timing and type. Post-workout nasi lemak is fuel; 11pm roti canai is storage.
A 600-calorie Teh Tarik takes 1 hour to burn off. We prioritize satiety math over cardio math.
*The "Hawker Plate" Formula for Lunch Satiation.
Dietary Planning for
Specific Conditions
PCOS & Insulin
We utilize anti-inflammatory fats (ikan kembung, avocado) to regulate cycles, moving beyond simple calorie restriction to hormone signaling.
Pre-Diabetes
The "Glucose Curve" protocol uses local ulam and fiber sequencing to flatten spikes, specifically for the post-lunch slump.
Constraint Warning
If you are on thyroid medication or insulin, dietary changes must be coordinated with your physician. We provide the nutritional engineering; they manage the pharmacology.
Glossary: Our Take
Effective for rapid water loss, risky long-term for tropical climates due to electrolyte imbalance and adherence failure in rice-centric culture.
Great for simplifying Mamak decisions. We calibrate the window to your circadian rhythm, not a rigid 16:8 rule.
Often just sugar water with fiber. We prefer full-cream milk or unsweetened soy for satiety.
We don't do "cheat" days; we do "refeed" days. Psychology matters. Binging leads to rebounding; strategic flexibility does not.
The Consultation Workflow
A transparent look at the process. No mystery, no upsells—just the work.
Intake & Context
We ask about sleep, stress, and relationship with food. Calories are the last variable we check.
Virtual Pantry Audit
Send us a video of your fridge. We identify hidden enemies (vegetable oils, sweetened yogurts).
The Blueprint
Delivery of your first-week protocol. 15-minute prep times. 5-ingredient Mamak hacks.
Iterate
Weekly adjustments based on hunger logs. If you are hungry, the plan is wrong.
