How was FFD introduced?
It was through one of the past participants that I learned about FFD.

My Fasting Story
Dr. Pramod Tripathi announced a group fasting event for Navratri 2024, and I found the challenge motivating, so I decided to participate.
Fasting with FFD was an excellent experience for me, especially since I hadn't tried fasting while in the program. I felt light and energetic all day and enjoyed a restful night's sleep. Overall, it was a positive experience that helped me overcome a weight plateau.
I didn't monitor my blood sugar levels, as I am non-diabetic and have no blood pressure issues.
In total, I lost 2.5 kg over the five days of fasting, which I found very satisfying.
I was very pleased with the FFD fasting method; it was manageable and not challenging, and I maintained my regular gym workouts. The Shahi paani was particularly helpful in curbing my hunger. As a liver donor with abdominal fat that I couldn't reduce through yoga alone, I noticed a decrease in my fat percentage and cholesterol levels after the five-day fast. I would like to fast again in the future.
The group fasting provided a lot of motivation. A huge thank you to Dr. Tripathi and Dr. Malhar, as well as the FFD mentors who guided us patiently throughout the nine days. I'm looking forward to participating in another group fasting after Diwali. Thanks to the FFD team!
