My Weight Story
During the 2020 lockdown, a combination of stress and working from home led to significant weight gain for me. I put on a staggering 40 kg. To address this, I joined a CrossFit gym and consulted my Ayurvedic doctor.
However, contrary to my expectations, CrossFit only exacerbated the situation, causing my weight to escalate from 82 to 86 kg. A subsequent vacation further compounded the issue, with an additional 10 kg added to my frame, plunging me into a state of depression.
I attempted to adopt a gluten-free diet, but nothing seemed to work for me. Even the Ayurvedic medicines failed to yield results, prompting me to discontinue them.
With my sister's wedding approaching in November 2023, every shopping trip for outfits became a humiliating experience, as I was repeatedly ridiculed for my larger size.
How was FFD Introduced?
Among my acquaintances, two individuals had previously participated in FFD's program. One of them experienced remarkable results, achieving an amazing response through the program. It was this person who initially informed me about FFD and its offerings.
What made me choose FFD?
I desperately wanted to lose weight. FFD was offering hope so I enrolled in its annual program HTP.

Reversal Story
Here's a paraphrased version:
Joining FFD proved to be the best decision I made. Interestingly, my diabetes diagnosis happened after coming here. The team assigned to me conducted a thorough analysis of my case and devised a well-structured plan for me to follow. As soon as I began implementing the plan, I started noticing positive results. Sugars began normalizing.
In the initial months, I lost around 5 kg, but the real transformation came with the introduction of intermittent fasting. I diligently adhered to the program, avoiding any cheat days and eliminating sugar from my diet (I now consume only monk fruit as a sweetener).
Towards the end of phase 2, my weight loss plateaued. I shed approximately 20 kg. Currently, in phase 3, I'm working out at the gym, and while my weight loss has slowed down, I've experienced a massive reduction in inches, enabling me to transition from an XXL size to a medium.
I am immensely grateful to my dietitian, Rachana, and Dr. Manasi, who continue to motivate and encourage me through regular calls and interactions via the app.
Moreover, my mother has been my biggest pillar of support, and having her as my diet partner has helped me maintain the necessary focus and vision to successfully follow the program.
