I had been struggling with weight gain and obesity, which had a major impact on my daily life. I was having low confidence in friends and families. I was very lethargic and frequent eater before the challenge. I was aware about Dr Dixit lifestyle since 5 years but never tried it in disciplined way.
I came across the Dr. Dixit Lifestyle and the 90-Day Challenge through YouTube. When I learned the challenge would begin on 01-02-2026, I made a firm decision to
Participate in it. Though my wife was unsure about my determination, especially due to upcoming festivals like Gudhipadwa, Holi where we eat Puranpoli and other sweets. But I was determined to give it my all. I stayed fully committed — sharing meal photos, exercise updates, and following the discipline taught in the program.

By the end of the 90 days:
HbA1c: 4.9 % → 5.2%
Weight: 82 kg → 69 kg
Waist: 103 cm → 92 cm
Fasting Insulin: 12.43 IU/ml → 5.27 IU/ml

Other improvements: other benefits include improved sleep quality, improved bowel habits, reduced lethargy, feeling energetic and positive. One of the biggest realizations for me was developing ‘I can do it’ attitude, and knowing what to eat and how much to eat. Also I controlled my cravings and was more disciplined than ever. In the initial phase it was difficult for me to walk 4.5 km in 45 min but slowly and steadily with the help of admins and fellow participants I developed my speed and distance. I am happy to share that during this challenge I was able to complete my first half marathon of my life. During the Challenge, we participated in various activities which made us stay positive and competitive throughout the challenge.
The Sunday lecture series and monthly meeting with Dr Dixit sir and other dignitaries made us improve our knowledge and understanding about health and wellbeing. I sincerely thank Dr. Dixit sir and our Explorer group admins Vijay Shelke sir and Manisha Jagtap madam for their constant guidance and support.
I will stay committed to this simple and life changing lifestyle throughout my life and also help others to adopt it.
