Hello, I’m Rekha Asnani from Ahmedabad. I’m 44 and run my own restaurant. Food has always been my passion and profession. I'm a chef, constantly tasting and creating. But three years ago, a routine check-up turned my life upside down: borderline diabetes that soon became full diabetes because I didn’t take it seriously enough.

My Diabetes Story

With both parents diabetic, I knew I had a strong family history. When my first test showed borderline diabetes, I didn’t act immediately. Six months later I had full diabetes along with high cholesterol and had to start medicines.

How FFD Entered My Life

Initially, I was looking for solutions for my father. Instagram’s algorithm showed me FFD programs, but sadly my father passed away before I could sign him up.

Later, when the ads came up again, I decided to try it for myself. Dr. Pramod Tripathi’s seminar, the science behind reversal, and the affordability compared to other programs convinced me.

My Reversal Journey

Medicines: I began with 500 mg diabetes medicine daily, reduced to 250 mg and then stopped completely within 3 months.

My cholesterol medicine dropped from 10 mg daily to 5 mg every alternate night.

HbA1c: My highest was 7.2 At my best, it came down to 6.6. My latest test is due, but my daily sugar readings are good and my FFD doctors are monitoring me off medicines.

Weight: From 81.5 kg I came down to 77.5 kg despite tasting food daily as a chef and not following protocols 100% perfectly.

Symptoms: My persistent joint pains and body aches vanished I suspect as a result of stopping medicines and following FFD protocols.

Athletic Identity

I’ve never been an athlete and I don’t enjoy workouts. I go to a fitness center mainly for functionality and strength training to protect muscles after early menopause at 36.

Walking is my favorite activity and my go-to for staying active.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

I couldn’t attend most inner transformation sessions because I was opening new restaurants and life was hectic, but I stayed in constant touch with the doctors and nutritionists.

Twice I managed 48-hour fasts.

I’ve also learned to “compensate” if I overeat at a party or taste too much dairy at work, I know when to fast or walk to balance it.

I feel lighter, more active, and happier in my clothes. Best of all, I no longer carry diabetes medicines with me. That freedom itself is priceless.

My Experience With FFD

This program has been a savior for me. I give full credit to Dr. Kiran, Shraddha ma’am, Vaidehi ma’am and the Ahmedabad chapter for their relentless support.

Even when I missed calls, they checked on me gently, without judgement. That sincerity makes a big difference.
