I’m an engineer by profession and live in Pune. My diabetes story began quite unexpectedly. I started experiencing pain in my legs and decided to get myself checked. The reports came as a shock. I was diabetic, with an HbA1c of 11. Though my father too had diabetes, I never imagined I would face it so early. Along with that came obesity and joint pain my BMI was well beyond the healthy range, and even simple movement felt heavy and tiring.
Key Takeaways
- HbA1c reduced from 11 to 5.7 in 6 months
- Lost 19 kg (93 kg to 74 kg) in 6 months, currently at 80 Kg
- Passed Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT)
- Cholesterol normalized (LDL from 231 to 80)
- Cycles up to 40 km regularly
- Lost 14 Kg with 32-day and 10-day water fasts
- Inspired family and friends to join FFD
How FFD Came Into My Life
FFD came to me through a chance conversation with a client in Tamil Nadu.
He had been on insulin three times a day, but after joining FFD, he not only became insulin-free but also lost around 30 kg.
His transformation left me speechless.

Seeing those results first hand made me realize that lifestyle change was the real solution, not just medication.
That’s when I decided to enroll in FFD’s Holistic Transformation Program (HTP).

My Reversal Story
When I joined, my HbA1c was 11. Through FFD’s structured guidance diet, fasting, and lifestyle correction my readings dropped to 5.7.
Later, during a refresher round, I joined again with an HbA1c of 7.2 and brought it down to 6.0.

The most amazing part was how enjoyable the journey became. Fasting, which I once thought was impossible, turned into something I looked forward to.
My wife and I have even completed 10 days of fasting together, and I’ve done a 32-day water fast during my first program losing nearly 14 kg!

From 93 kg, I came down to around 77–78 kg in that phase. Even today, I maintain a steady 80 kg.
Health Improvements
Every aspect of my health improved.
My cholesterol and triglyceride levels normalized LDL dropped from 231 to just 80, and HDL rose to healthy limits. I became more energetic, mentally sharper, and physically active.

Even fasting, which once seemed tough, became second nature. I discovered a renewed sense of control over my body and mind.
Athletic Identity
My journey with FFD awakened my athletic identity cycling. Earlier, I used to find even walking difficult.
Today, I cycle up to 40 km regularly and plan to scale that further once I retire and have more time on hand!

Current Lifestyle & Reflection
I’ve realized that consistency matters more than anything else.
Even when work travel took me away from my daily rhythm, I joined FFD again to stay connected with the lifestyle.
That’s the beauty of the program; it keeps you grounded, aware, and inspired.

My wife, too, has adopted this way of living and is healthier than ever.
Seeing transformations not only in myself but also among my family and friends has been deeply rewarding.
