Name - Mr. Mukesh Singh
Age - 51 Years Young

I am Mukesh Singh. Despite being only prediabetic, I knew my health was heading in the wrong direction.

Obesity, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and constant body pain had started affecting not only my physical health but also my confidence and daily life.

Determined to avoid diabetes medicines and take control before things worsened, I joined Freedom from Diabetes (FFD).

Just five months later, I had lost 16 kg, drastically reduced my cholesterol medicine, regained my energy, and discovered a completely new version of myself.

Key Takeaways

Weight reduced from 93 kg to 77 kg in 5 months

My Diabetes Story

For nearly three to four years, my HbA1c stayed close to 6%, and my fasting sugar hovered around 120 mg/dL.

Since both my parents had diabetes, I knew I was at high risk.

At the same time, I was struggling with obesity, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and recurring body pain.

During my frequent work trips, especially while travelling between Delhi and Muscat, I would often experience severe pain in my left arm that lasted for days.

I wasn't taking diabetes medicines because I wanted to prevent the disease naturally. Instead, I relied on home remedies like karela juice, hoping to keep my sugars under control.

But deep down, I knew I needed a better solution.

How Was I Introduced to FFD?

I first heard about Freedom from Diabetes through my organization after receiving an email from our Chief Medical Officer.

At that point, my obesity, cholesterol, triglycerides, and rising sugar levels were affecting both my physical health and mental confidence.

I decided to give the program an honest try, hoping it could help me avoid diabetes medicines and regain control over my health.

My Reversal Story

When I joined FFD, I wasn't expecting dramatic results.

In fact, during the first month, I didn't lose any weight at all. I even wondered whether the program would work for me.

But I stayed consistent.

From the second month onwards, everything started changing.

Within just five months, my weight dropped from 93 kg to 77 kg, a weight I hadn't seen since 1994.

Today, I comfortably maintain my weight between 77 and 79 kg.

The transformation wasn't limited to the weighing scale.

My cholesterol levels improved so much that my medicine dosage came down from 160 mg to just 5 mg on alternate days, and my doctor is now planning a trial without medicines.

I also cleared my Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) test and am now looking forward to clearing my GTT as well.

Most importantly, the constant body pain disappeared. Knee discomfort reduced, my physical stamina improved, and I finally began feeling energetic and mentally sharp again.

Fast for Freedom Experience

Initially, I participated in the Fast for Freedom program and lost 3 kg during the fasting period.

But the biggest change wasn't the weight, it was the way I felt.

My energy levels increased tremendously, my creativity at work improved, and I noticed a significant boost in focus and productivity.

Today, I strongly believe that practicing scientific fasting regularly is one of the best ways to maintain long-term health.

My Athletic Identity

Exercise has now become an important part of my routine.

I regularly perform strength-training exercises and enjoy skipping. Today, I can comfortably complete 1,500 skips in a single session.

Staying active no longer feels like a task—it has become part of who I am.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

The biggest transformation has happened in my mindset.

Last year, I never imagined I could return to my old weight or feel this fit again.

Today, I feel physically strong, mentally confident, and optimistic about my future.

My improved health has even increased my confidence at work, and I now believe I can achieve bigger professional goals as well.

FFD didn't just transform my health—it completely changed the way I think about myself.
