My Diagnosis
The discovery came suddenly from a random sugar reading between 170–180 mg/dL during my pre-employment test. I also had stomach pain, which led to further tests and a diabetes diagnosis.
My HbA1c was 9.2, and I was also diagnosed with grade 1–2 fatty liver. I come from a diabetic family. My mother had diabetes, and I lost her during COVID. But facing it myself was a different story. It shook me.

Why I Chose FFD
Doctors immediately recommended medication. But I paused. My wife, Niketa, firmly believed that lifestyle change was the answer. Her belief gave me the push I needed to look deeper.
I explored different options and discovered Dr. Pramod Tripathi and FFD. His transparency, calm presence, and scientific clarity stood out from all others.
I watched his YouTube videos and joined a webinar. It was clear; this wasn’t just another promise. This was the real thing. I joined FFD and haven’t looked back since.

The Transformation
At diagnosis, I weighed 92 kg. By the time I joined FFD, I had dropped a bit to 87–88 kg. But the real shift came after joining, especially during Phase 1.2 and fasting protocols. I lost 24 kg, and now hover around 68 kg, as I enter the muscle-building phase. My HbA1c dropped to 5.3; diabetes reversed.
Healing More Than Diabetes: Along with diabetes, I struggled with:
- Fatty liver
- Low energy
- Back pain
- High stress levels
All of that has changed. Today, my energy is high, digestion is better, and my body feels lighter and younger.
Work-Life Stress & Turnaround
I’ve had a demanding career. I once worked steady plant jobs, but in recent years, I moved into more dynamic roles.
Often working 12-18-hour days, leaving at 8 AM and returning at 2–3 AM, skipping meals, and surviving on tea and work pressure.
It took a toll. But through FFD, I built structure, food discipline, and exercise into my life again. I’ve now reclaimed my health, even while managing a demanding schedule.

Family Inspired by My Journey
This story isn’t just mine. My wife lost 15 kg, going from 70 to 55 kg. Even our child, Atharv, is now part of our smoothie-salad lifestyle.
We do it as a team. Our home runs on health now; no shortcuts, no excuses.

Managing Travel & Routine
I travelled a lot during FFD phases, to Chennai, South Korea, Indonesia, and Delhi, but my FFD habits stayed with me. Travel may disrupt things, but my mindset stays intact.
I eat clean, stay mindful, and return to routine with discipline.

Inner Transformation
I couldn’t attend many live IT sessions, but I made time to watch recordings.
As a former Art of Living practitioner, I was familiar with meditation, and the FFD IT sessions helped me reconnect with inner peace, even on tough days.

Rediscovering My Athletic Side
Before COVID, I was a 10K runner and a passionate cyclist. That part of me got buried under work and stress. Now, with my weight down and strength coming back, I’m ready to reclaim that identity.
Running and cycling are no longer dreams; they're goals I’m working towards again.
