My Obesity Story

Years of frequent travel, irregular schedules, work stress, and a lack of focus on health led to my weight rising close to 98 kg.

I also experienced fatigue and reduced work efficiency. I had never seriously attempted weight loss until my wife suggested FFD.

How I Came to Know About FFD

My wife and I attended an introductory FFD session. The scientific reasoning, methodology, and structured approach convinced us to enroll. It immediately felt like the right solution for us.

Transformation Journey

In my first batch (Batch 49), I lost around 15–16 kg over a year, reaching 82–83 kg.

However After few years ,weight gain brought me back again to 96–97 kg as I didn’t sustainably followed protocols .

I rejoined FFD with my wife in Batch 111 and managed to reduce weight again to 87 kg and I am on my way to get it to 81-82 Kgs in near future .

Fast for Freedom (FFF) played a significant role: each nine-day session brought clarity on the science of weight management and helped me shed 3-3.5 kg per session. These sessions left me feeling energized and light.

Athletic Identity

I discovered my love for jogging through FFD, running mid-distance events up to 15 km with my wife.

Though knee issues and other factors made us stop, we now maintain fitness through gym workouts, swimming, and yoga.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

FFD taught me the importance of discipline and consistency. We now rarely eat outside, follow protocols diligently and prioritize health.

Inner transformation sessions helped map goals, improve mindfulness, and adopt a sustainable lifestyle.

I am thankful to Dr Pramod , Dr Malhar and entire team Doctors , Dietitians and exercise experts of FFD for leading me on a path towards healthy lifestyle full of joy .
