My Health & Weight Story

When I joined FFD, my weight was around 71.8–72 kg.

I did not have any health issues due to weight gain, but I wanted to feel better, look better, and be more mindful about my lifestyle.

I hadn’t tried any other structured weight-loss program before. This was my first such commitment and I followed it sincerely.

Why I Chose FFD

From day one, I decided to follow the program exactly as advised. I followed my dietitian’s instructions to the T, without shortcuts or modifications.

Very soon, I realised that FFD was not just about food or weight it was about awareness.

The Real Transformation

The most powerful phase for me came around the third and fourth month, when meditation, journaling, and inner work were introduced.

When Dr. Pramod asked us to reflect on childhood patterns and buried emotions, it hit me deeply.

Many habits we carry into adulthood overeating, excess drinking, mindless indulgence are rooted in conditioning, not need.

For me, weekend drinking had always been excessive. Drinking would lead to snacking, which would lead to overeating, and the cycle continued.

Through FFD, I realised I didn’t need any of it. My life was already full professionally and personally.

That awareness alone changed everything.

Food, Fasting & Conscious Living

I completed the 9-day Fast for Freedom twice during my one-year journey.

Each time, I lost around 3 kg, and while some weight returned after normal eating, the learning stayed permanently.

Today:

I am extremely conscious of portion sizes
I still enjoy sweets, but I stop at one
I balance indulgences mindfully instead of spiralling
FFD taught me restraint without deprivation.

Athletic Identity

FFD also transformed my relationship with exercise. Earlier, being busy often became an excuse.

Now:

Mornings are for weight training
Evenings are for cardio or running
Exercise is non-negotiable
I genuinely miss it if I don’t work out.

I don’t label myself into one athletic identity. I love a mix of gym and running, and that works perfectly for me.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

One full year of FFD has changed my life. I’ve completed the program, chosen not to extend formally, but I continue using the FFD app, recipes, and weekly juice fasting.

The values I learned are lifelong. I can never go back to my earlier habits.

As a doctor myself, I feel confident saying this: FFD is scientific, structured, and deeply impactful.

I have already started recommending it to my own patients and people around me.
