My Health Story
Working in the retail industry means long working hours and a busy schedule. Over time, my lifestyle became less active and my eating habits were not very disciplined.
Gradually, my weight increased and eventually reached 108 kg.
I started noticing several warning signs. My calf muscles would feel heavy, my energy levels dropped, and even after working 7–8 hours, I felt that my productivity was decreasing.
I also felt that my stamina and efficiency were not what they should be at my age. Being close to 40, I realised that if I did not take action now, my health could worsen in the future.
That was the moment I decided to take control of my health.
How I Discovered FFD
I first came across Freedom From Diabetes on Instagram when I saw a reel by Dr. Malhar. The information he shared immediately caught my attention.
Curious to learn more, I attended one of the webinars, where the scientific explanation of lifestyle change and weight management made complete sense to me.
After the session, I decided to join the program and follow the guidance seriously.

My Reversal Story
When I joined the program, my weight was 108 kg.
By following the structured diet plan and lifestyle recommendations given by the team, I started seeing results surprisingly fast.
Within three months, my weight dropped to 90 kg, which means I lost 18 kg.
But the changes were not just physical.
My belly fat reduced by about 5 inches, my shirt size dropped from around 45 to about 42, and even my neck fat reduced noticeably.
People around me started noticing the difference in my face glow, body structure, and overall appearance.
The improvements also reflected clearly in my blood reports.
My HbA1c improved from 4.9 to 4.1, fasting sugar came down to 89 mg/dL, and my lipid profile improved significantly.
My triglycerides dropped from 215 to 80, while my total cholesterol improved from 208 to 160.

In many ways, I genuinely feel like I have regained the energy of my younger years.
Athletic Identity
Through this journey, I also rediscovered my love for cycling.
Today, cycling has become an important part of my routine. In fact, I can comfortably ride up to 32 kilometres, something I had never imagined when my weight was over 100 kg.
That moment when I completed a long cycling ride gave me immense confidence and made me realise how much my stamina had improved.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
One of the biggest learnings from this program was understanding food discipline.
Earlier, I would eat without thinking much about the impact it had on my body. Today, I know what to eat, when to eat, and what to avoid.
I have reduced sweets, become more mindful about tea and snacks, and follow a structured routine that includes walking, yoga, and cycling.
Even though I am still in the program and continuing to learn more, the transformation in just three months has been incredible.
Many people around me have noticed the change and some have even reached out to ask how they can begin their own journey.
