My Diabetes Story
I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2023 during a routine health check-up. My lifestyle had been sedentary, with frequent overeating, and my asthma required long-term steroid medication, which only worsened weight gain.
At the time, I weighed 120 kg, my HbA1c was 10.7, and my kidney function and uric acid levels were elevated. Mildly high cholesterol and blood pressure added to the mix, and digestive issues further affected my overall wellbeing.
Obesity-related complications were a major concern, but diabetes was the trigger that made me take action.

How FFD Was Introduced
I decided to join FFD mainly to address obesity, although reversing diabetes was equally important. My father had previously joined the program and seen great results, which gave me confidence to start immediately after my diagnosis.

Within one month of following FFD’s Phase 1.1 diet, my blood sugar came under control, and I stopped all diabetes medicines. My HbA1c dropped from 10.7 to 4.8 in 11 months, and I successfully cleared the GTT.
Alongside this, my weight dropped from 120 kg to 78 kg, my creatinine improved from 1.5 to 0.77, uric acid normalized, cholesterol and blood pressure stabilized, and asthma symptoms significantly reduced.
My gut health and energy levels also improved, allowing me to regain stamina and become physically active.

Fast for Freedom (FFF) Experience
Fasting was a game-changer for me. During the FFF sessions and zero-meal days, I lost almost 1 kg per day, and the gradual approach made it sustainable and natural.
My appetite reduced significantly, and I now continue one zero-meal day every week as a lifelong practice, which helps me maintain both weight and sugar levels.

Athletic Identity & Fitness
I started with Chair Surya Namaskar, progressed to advanced yoga, and currently follow a structured gym routine. FFD helped me rediscover my physical capabilities, making workouts enjoyable rather than stressful.
Inner Transformation
Due to frequent travel, I could not attend psychologist-led inner transformation sessions. However, the dietary and lifestyle interventions alone created a profound change in my health, habits, and mindset.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
The program taught me mindful eating, the importance of fasting, and how sustainable lifestyle changes, not medicines, are the key to long-term health.
Even challenging aspects like veganism and zero-meal fasting were introduced gradually, making them manageable and enjoyable. I feel healthier, more energetic, and more confident than ever.
