Alongside high sugars, I began experiencing tingling and pain in my feet, especially in the evenings.

These early warning signs motivated me to take action before things got worse.
How FFD Was Introduced to Me
I first heard about FFD from colleagues and seniors who had already joined the program. Witnessing their transformations significant weight loss, improved fitness, and enhanced energy was inspiring.
One colleague, Mr. Sanjay D’Souza, particularly influenced me. Seeing his changes firsthand gave me the confidence to join FFD myself.
Reversal Story
I started the program at 81 kg and with an HbA1c of around 6.7–6.8. Within 3–4 months, I reached 74 kg.
My doctor advised discontinuing the prescribed Hido lighter 10/5 mg once daily, and today I am completely off all diabetes medications.

Structured fasting routines, starting with one-day fasts and gradually extending to 48-hour fasts and juice feasts, contributed significantly to my weight reduction.
Even though I couldn’t complete the full 7–9 day fasting cycles due to travel, shorter fasting periods still gave excellent results.

Inner Transformation & HTP Experience
I actively participated in meditation, vision boards, and Inner Transformation sessions.
These tools helped me release past negative experiences, cultivate a positive outlook, and attract better opportunities.
