Beating Diabetes Naturally – My Journey with FFD & Tata Steel’s Support

 

Hello all,

 

I am Goutam Chakrobarty, a professional at Tata Steel, currently residing in Noamundi, Jharkhand.

• Weight loss 11 kg
• Feeling Rejunevated

I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2007 during a hospital admission for an unrelated issue. To my surprise, My sugar levels were alarmingly high, Forcing me to start medications immediately. From that day onward, managing diabetes became a constant struggle.  

 

Despite spending Rs 4,000–₹5,000 every month on medications and undergoing costly tests every few months, My Health continued to decline. I faced persistent challenges, Including joint pain, Neurological issues, and varicose veins, Which affected my daily life.  

 

I longed to regain my health and break free from this cycle of medications and health complications.

 

It was my company Tata Steel that introduced me to FFD. I got trust on FFD as the most trustworthy company Tata Steel was promoting it for employees.

 

I wished to reverse my diabetes and lose weight. FFD was offering hope so I joined FFD's LTP - Lifestyle Transformation Program.

The FFD team assigned to me performed a detailed study of my case and presented a well-designed plan to execute.

 

Initially, I doubted my ability to follow the program—especially as a Bengali who loved non-vegetarian food. The thought of transitioning to a Vegan diet felt overwhelming. However, seeing the incredible results my friends achieved, even without fully adhering to the protocol, gave me the push to give it a try.  

 

The journey wasn’t easy. Letting go of tea and preparing green smoothies every morning felt like a chore. I sought advice from Dr. Manasi, who recommended convenient smoothie powders, making the process much simpler.

Another major challenge was intermittent fasting—something I had never attempted before. The idea of 24- or even 36-hour fasts was intimidating. Thankfully, My Dietician guided me with practical tips, such as consuming *Shahi Pani* and dry fruits to manage hunger. Over time, I gained confidence, and now, I look forward to fasting days, finding them refreshing and energizing.  

 

The results were nothing short of remarkable. Within just three months of joining FFD, I was completely off all diabetes medications. My HbA1c dropped to an impressive 5.14, well within the normal range. 

 

My weight loss from 70 kg to 59 kg has been superb.

 

Beyond the numbers, I felt a significant improvement in my overall fitness. Previously limited by joint pain, I now enjoy regular jogging and actively participate in Strider fitness sessions. I even completed two 10K marathons, Improving my timing from 74 minutes to 64 minutes!  

 

Encouraging my family to embrace a Healthier lifestyle has been another fulfilling aspect of my journey. Despite the initial struggles, I now feel lighter, More energetic, and fully in control of my health. On fasting days, practicing *pranayama* brings me a profound sense of rejuvenation.  

 

This experience has reinforced my belief that, With the Right guidance and mindset, lasting health transformations are truly Possible.
