KFLS Applies five pillars: consuming low-carbs, med-protein, and high-fat foods, being active and exercising, fasting on the windowsill intermittent, getting enough rest, and minimizing stress. This study uses the netnographic method to find strategies for identity, social movements, and cultural expressions among community members. This study is helpful as a strategic and academic reference on how health branding can be done in a fun way through a digital application meme strategy by taking advantage of the right momentum.
