My Story
I was in the prediabetic range, with an HbA1c around 6.7, along with concerns like high triglycerides, thyroid imbalance, and weight gain.
There was no strong family history, but I wanted to take control before things progressed further.
Alongside this, I had been dealing with chronic back pain and muscle discomfort for years, which affected my daily life.
How FFD Was Introduced
I joined FFD looking not just for sugar control, but for overall health improvement.
What stood out to me was the holistic approach; it wasn’t just about food, but also about sleep, mindset, activity, and long-term sustainability.

Along with that, I experienced:
- HbA1c improvement from 7.2 to around 6.2
- Weight loss of 8 kg
- Better lipid control (triglycerides significantly reduced)
- Creatinine levels normalized
- Thyroid dosage reduced
All of this came from consistent lifestyle changes, not extreme measures.
Health & Lifestyle Transformation
Over time, I built a routine that works for me:
- Yoga and mindful movement
- Walking, cycling, and aerobics
- Balanced, structured meals
- Better sleep habits (shifting away from late nights)
I also became more conscious about managing cravings, especially sweets which I am still working on.
Challenges & Awareness
Like any real journey, mine is not perfect.
I currently deal with:
- Muscle pain and inflammation, limiting gym workouts
- Occasional cravings for sweets
- The need to stay consistent without external structure
- But now, I approach these challenges with awareness instead of frustration.
Athletic Identity
At my peak, I was:
- Doing 50 Surya Namaskars at a stretch
- Lifting more than my body weight in leg press
Even today, I stay active with yoga and movement, and I know I can rebuild my strength step by step.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
Today, I feel that health is not about perfection, it’s about balance and sustainability.
I no longer chase unrealistic numbers for my age, but focus on:
