Hello, I am Rashmi Kailas Bendale, a 50-year-old teacher from Mumbai. I have been living with diabetes for the last 6 years. Along with diabetes, I was also managing BP and cholesterol issues. Like many others, I simply wanted to get rid of medicines, lose excess weight, and feel healthier again. That’s when Freedom From Diabetes came into my life and helped me change my health completely.

  • Weight reduced from 80 kg to 71 kg in 3 months
  • Lost 2 kg with 9-days FFF
  • Off Cholesterol Medicines in 10 months
  • Improved energy levels, confidence, and reduced laziness
  • Learned sustainable habits through fasting, exercise, and better food awareness

My Diabetes Story

My diabetes was diagnosed during COVID when I was dealing with a frozen shoulder.

Surprisingly, I had no major diabetes symptoms apart from that. I also had a family history of diabetes, as my mother was diabetic.

At the time, I was taking:

  • One 500 mg diabetes tablet daily
  • One BP tablet
  • 10 mg cholesterol medication


Though I was managing things medically, I was not happy with depending on medicines. Along with that, I was overweight and felt uncomfortable with my health overall.

How Was FFD Introduced and What Made Me Choose It?

I came to know about Freedom From Diabetes through my brother-in-law, Mr. Ravindra Bhangalenot Bhangari, who had already joined the program from Edison, USA.

He had been insisting that I join for almost a year, but I kept ignoring it. Finally, after enough persuasion, I decided to join the Discover Reversal Session.

My main goals were simple:

  • Get rid of medicines
  • Lose weight
  • Improve overall health

My Reversal Journey with FFD

When I joined FFD:

  • HbA1c was 6.9
  • Weight was around 80 kg

Through the program, I gradually transformed my routine.

Within 3 to 4 months:

Today:

  • Diabetes medication was stopped completely
  • Cholesterol medication was reduced from 10 mg to 5 mg and then stopped
  • HbA1c is 6.0 without diabetes medicines
  • Weight dropped to 71 kg, and currently I maintain around 72–72.5 kg
  • That means I successfully lost around 9 kg.

Even though I regained 1–1.5 kg later due to slight disturbance in following the protocol, I now understand what works for my body.

Fast for Freedom Experience

I completed the Fast for Freedom challenge once properly, and during that period:

  • Lost around 2 kg
  • Felt lighter and more energetic
  • Experienced better skin health
  • Noticed improved mental stability


Though I did not experience one dramatic shift, the overall reset felt very positive.

Health Improvements Beyond Diabetes

After joining FFD, I noticed multiple positive changes:

  • Reduced laziness
  • Better energy throughout the day
  • Improved confidence after weight loss
  • Better metabolic markers
  • My reports also showed improvement in:
  • Triglyceride/HDL ratio
  • Cholesterol levels
  • SGOT/SGPT and liver-related parameters returning to normal range


This was very encouraging for me.

Exercise & Lifestyle

As a teacher, life is far busier than most people assume. A lot of work continues even after school hours, which made consistency difficult.

Still, I followed:

  • Exercise routines from FFD
  • Regular movement and activity

I have not yet fully discovered my athletic identity because of my busy schedule, but I am continuing to work on consistency.

Inner Transformation

I did not take one-on-one sessions with the psychologist, but I explored meditation a couple of times.

Though I am not regular with meditation, whenever I practiced it, I felt calmer and mentally more centered.

Meditation helped me experience a different mental space, and I understand its importance better now.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

Today, I feel much healthier and more aware of my body.

My biggest learning from FFD has been that transformation is not just about sugar numbers it is about:

  • Better energy
  • Better discipline
  • Better self-confidence
  • Understanding your own body

    I also started recommending FFD to friends because I genuinely saw the difference in my own life.
