Quaker, the world’s no.1 oats brand[1] is proud to announce the launch of its Jom Quaker Fit campaign, designed to encourage Malaysians to embark on a journey of self-care and self-improvement by managing their weight through proper diet and a healthier lifestyle. To empower Malaysians on this journey, Quaker has developed a 30-Day Recipe Guide to help Malaysians explore healthier and yummy full meal recipes with oats as well as partnered with four social media influencers to make healthy eating and staying active fun through the Jom Quaker Fit 30-Day Challenge.
Co-created by fitness and nutrition-focused content creators, the Jom Quaker Fit 30-Day Challenge offers participants a structured yet adaptable program to help manage their weight. The challenge features weekly bucket goals encompassing various aspects of healthy living practices, from exercise routines such as 20 minutes of daily physical activities, to mindful eating habits like incorporating more fibre into main meals. As the challenge progresses, the milestones will gradually increase in difficulty to promote consistency, build healthier habits, and support effective weight management.
Participants can easily monitor their weight management journey by using Instagram Story templates created by Quaker for weekly check-ins. These templates serve as a fun and interactive way to track progress, share achievements, and engage with others participating in the challenge.
Aditya Ahuja, Commercial Head of PepsiCo Malaysia said, “A healthy lifestyle does not have to be an unhappy lifestyle. As a brand committed to promoting health and wellness, Quaker is thrilled to introduce the Jom Quaker Fit campaign anchored around the 30-Day Challenge and 30-Day Recipe Guide. We designed the program to focus on small, manageable changes that can make a big impact over time.
He added, “We have also introduced the Instagram Story check-in templates to foster a sense of community, allowing participants to encourage each other and celebrate each milestone together. By sharing their experiences, they not only stay motivated but also contribute to building a supportive network that inspires everyone to keep going and reach their healthy weight goals. Through this campaign, we aim to inspire more Malaysians to discover enjoyable ways to Get Quaker Fit together with a proper diet and healthier lifestyle with 7 times more fibre.”
Dr.Kit (Phanvijhitsiri), Research & Development Life Sciences Manager of PepsiCo Asia said “Embracing a healthier lifestyle doesn’t always require drastic changes. It’s about incorporating manageable habits into your daily routine. Just dedicating 20 minutes to physical activity every day and including at least 75g of oats in one of your main meals daily can kickstart your journey towards wellness. These small steps, when consistently taken, can help you to maintain a healthy weight and can also lead to significant improvements in your overall health and well-being. We believe anyone can work towards a healthier lifestyle, no matter where they are starting from.”
