During my career, I focused entirely on work and neglected my health. I was a slave to my taste buds, indulging in fried foods and alcohol while ignoring my rising weight. My only exercise was a short walk to the office and I dismissed my spouse’s concerns because I rarely felt “sick.”
When I retired 2.5 years back, my weight was 80 kgs+. It was my wake-up call. I realized health was my top priority. Inspired by a friend’s success, I discovered Dr. Dixit lifestyle on YouTube. I joined the 7th DRWL challenge in the Mumbai PDND group. Done blood tests as guided and results revelled that I was pre-diabetic. The lifestyle was explained stepwise by admins to me: in short its two meals a day and brisk walk of 4.5 km/45 min daily.
Guided by admins Ms. Anagha Kale and Ms. Leena Patil, I lost 5 kg in the first 15 days. Dr. Dixit personally encouraged me, but he also warned against complacency. Unfortunately, I faltered during festivals and social visits, allowing frequent “cheat days.” Despite this lack of discipline, my 90-day results were still significant:
HbA1c: [5.9] on 20.05.2025 → [5.9] on 28.08.2025
Fasting Insulin: [18.70] on 20.05.2025 [10.60] on 28.08.2025
Weight: [90 kgs] on 20.05.2025 → [83 kgs] on 28.08.2025
Waist: [116 cm] on 20.09.2025 → [114.1cm]
Physical Gains: Improved energy, agility, and reduced heel pain.
While I remain pre-diabetic, I consider this a success because I have identified my mistakes. This lifestyle is a powerful, medicine-free way to manage health through discipline.
I am deeply grateful to Dr. Jagannath Dixit for his selfless service and to my admins for their constant motivation. I intend to join the 8th DRWL Challenge with renewed dedication to rectify my errors. Eventually, I hope to give back to this noble initiative by serving as an admin myself.
