I am Trishna Sinha, a 45-year-old homemaker from Gurgaon. A year ago, I was constantly tired, sleeping after meals, struggling with joint pain and gaining weight despite walking and exercising. Within six months, I had gained nearly 7 kg and reached 85 kg. My HbA1c, which had always been around 4.8–5, had risen to 6.1, putting me in the prediabetic range. Today, at 65.8 kg and with an HbA1c of 5.1, I FX ç feel fitter, energetic and capable of doing much more than I ever imagined.

My Diabetes Story
I had never considered myself someone who would have a blood sugar problem.
My HbA1c had always been around 4.8–5. But I was increasingly tired.
I would feel sleepy even after breakfast and lunch, had joint and heel pain, and was gaining weight rapidly. Despite walking and doing some strength exercises, nothing seemed to work.

In just six months, I gained around 7 kg and reached 85 kg.
When I enrolled in FFD and underwent my health assessment, my HbA1c came back at 6.1.
That was the moment I realised I needed to take my health seriously.

How FFD Was Introduced to Me
My husband had completed the FFD programme in 2021 and had lost around 20 kg. His transformation gave me confidence in the programme.
Later, I watched Dr. Malhar's videos on Instagram, particularly one about being careful with weight during perimenopause.

I already had a proven result at home, so I decided to give FFD a try.
Mrs.Trishna SinhaMy Reversal Journey
My transformation started with understanding that my lifestyle and eating habits both needed to change.
I initially found giving up dairy difficult because tea was almost an addiction for me. I experienced headaches, but gradually the cravings faded.
I noticed that my bloating and inflammation reduced significantly, and my body began feeling lighter.

I also changed my meal pattern, reduced junk food and became consistent with cardio and strength training.
Slowly, the extra fat came down and my stamina improved. My HbA1c dropped from 6.1 to 5.1, while my weight came down from 85 kg to 65.8 kg.
My LDL, VLDL and non-HDL cholesterol also improved considerably.

Fast for Freedom Experience
I participated in Fast for Freedom twice. The first time, I lost around 3 kg, although I regained some of it later.
The second time, I followed it for seven days and lost around 2 kg. I also noticed better sleep, improved digestion and healthier, glowing skin.
People around me began complimenting me on the change.
Athletic Identity
I am a Zumba girl! I now do Zumba every day for about an hour.
Earlier, after attending a Zumba class, I would come home and sleep.
Today, I can return from Zumba, complete household work, clean, wash clothes and shoes, and still go to pick up my son without feeling exhausted.

Inner Transformation
I had one session with Udita ma'am when I was struggling with procrastination and felt that I was doing nothing except eating and sleeping.
She taught me to take one step at a time and focus on one task rather than overwhelming myself with everything at once.
That simple shift changed my perspective. I also practised the GSS Sandwich technique taught during the FFD sessions.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection
Today, I feel leaner, fitter and far more energetic. I can stand in the kitchen for an hour without the heel pain I once experienced.
I can manage multiple activities throughout the day without needing to rest.
When I look at women my age who struggle with fatigue, bloating and limited activity, I realise that a year ago, I was just like them.

FFD showed me that changing my food and lifestyle could change not only my body, but also the way I think and live.
