My Story
Although I did not suffer from diabetes, I struggled with tiredness, Lethargy, and Joint pain due to high uric acid levels. I also faced issues with my increasing weight.
My weight gain resulted from mindless eating. Although I was aware of balanced nutrition, I often let hunger, Cravings, and social habits dictate my meals.
Coming from a South Indian background, Rice was a staple in my diet. Family traditions emphasized finishing all the food on my plate, Which led me to consume excess portions to prevent waste. I reached up to 88 kg.

How was FFD introduced and why did I choose to join it?
My journey began when my husband joined FFD’s diabetes management program. Wanting to support and motivate him, I also decided to enroll in FFD’s weight loss program. Encouraged by a family friend who had seen great results, I took this step—Not out of necessity, But as a choice to improve my health and well-being.
Reversal Story
The FFD team studied my case in detail and designed a tailor-made plan. As I began following it, Positive results started pouring in. My 20 kg weight loss from 88 kg to 68 kg has been superb.
One of the greatest joys was fitting into the clothes I had saved for over a decade. Plus, getting back clothes from my sister which I had given her thinking I would never fit in those was the best moment.

The biggest challenge FFD helped me overcome was emotional eating. Stress, Conflicts, and bad moods would lead me straight to food for comfort. However, through FFD’s Inner Transformation sessions and psychological guidance.
I learned how to control emotional triggers. I practiced affirmations, Mindfulness, and breathing techniques, Which helped me separate emotions from food cravings.

I also followed a structured fitness routine like Yoga (three times a week), Strength training (twice a week), Cardio workouts (once a week), Dancing (my favorite form of exercise, 2-3 times a week), Walking (added occasionally)
Although I loved badminton, I had to limit it due to tennis elbow pain. Instead, I focused on Bollywood-style dancing, Which kept me active and engaged.
I also embraced FFD’s fasting programs, including the nine-day Navratri fasting, which helped me lose more than 3 kg in just nine days.
There has been a dramatic boost in my energy levels.
Thanks to all the experts.
