My Diabetes Story
Although I was medication-free, having diabetic parents made me monitor my HbA1c and blood sugar every six months.
I lacked physical symptoms, but I struggled with obesity and wanted to lose weight.
When a routine checkup showed my HbA1c had entered the pre-diabetic range, I knew I had to act before my condition worsened.
How I Found FFD
I first attended an introductory session by Dr. Malhar to address weight loss.
I was inspired by my SIL, Reshma Arole, who joined FFD 4 years ago and reversed her 15 year old diabetes.
Her transformation was living proof of the FFD program's effectiveness, and I am proud to say that I am another living proof of FFD's effectiveness,
I enrolled in FFD’s Diabetes Reversal Program.

My Reversal Journey
Guided by Dr. Smita Inamdar, Dr. Shradha Sapate, and Dr. Ketki, my health improved rapidly.
Within the first month, my cholesterol and triglycerides normalized, my hs-CRP (inflammation level) plummeted from 26.99 to 3, and my fasting blood glucose dropped significantly.
FFD’s 25-25-25% meal structure helped me transition smoothly without extreme fasting.
I stopped consuming dairy, non-veg, and unnecessary oils, substituting milk tea with black coffee.
Starting at 85 kg, I dropped to 70.4 kg in four months, a 14.6 kg weight loss and cleared my GTT! Seeing these measurable results gave me immense confidence.
Athletic Identity
Physical activity is now a key part of my lifestyle. I train 5–6 days a week at a local Cult gym,
where I do strength training 2 days a week, yoga 2 to 3 days a week, and a dance workout or dance cardio 1 day a week.
Maintaining this active routine has greatly boosted my energy, stamina, and overall fitness levels.
Fast For Freedom Experience
After reaching 71 kg, my weight plateaued for a few weeks.
To break this block and lose an additional 5 kg before Diwali, I enrolled in the 9-day Fast For Freedom (FFF) program to reboot my progress.
Inner Transformation
During a psychology session with Yati Ma'am, I learned journaling to release suppressed stress and emotions.
I also integrated deep breathing and regular Pranayama to manage daily stress, which brought mental peace alongside physical healing.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
FFD completely shifted my perspective on food. I now mindfully evaluate if what I eat nourishes my body or causes harm.
I have full control over my cravings and easily avoid junk food like cakes.
My energy levels are high, people frequently compliment my transformation, and my next goal is to drop another 5 kg and sustain this healthy lifestyle long-term.
