What were the Health Challenges that Alif was Facing Before Joining Fitterfly?

As a busy businessman, Alif’s frequent travel made it hard to maintain a healthy diet. Street food and fast food like pizza, burgers, samosas, and fried snacks became his go-to food.

With no time for physical activity, his weight climbed to a whopping 147 kg, which contributed significantly to his diabetes diagnosis. But diabetes wasn’t the only issue he was battling.

Alif also faced hypertension, hypothyroidism, a history of OCD, and childhood obesity. These conditions had him on multiple medications, making his health journey even more complex.

How Alif Lost 36 Kgs to Manage His Diabetes?

Yes, Alif achieved an impressive 36 kg weight loss with Fitterfly. But before diving into how he did it, let’s first appreciate the remarkable results he achieved after just 12 months.

Now, let’s continue and see how he achieved these results.

From 2200 to 1100 Calories: How our Nutrition Coaches Helped Alif Make the Shift to Healthy Eating

Alif had a lot of health issues, digestive problems, acidity from his diabetes meds, and a diet that didn’t have enough protein or fiber. He tried home remedies like ajwain, but they didn’t help. On top of that, he couldn’t eat eggs, milk, seafood, or soy, and he didn’t like vegetables, making it even harder to get the right nutrients.

Our nutrition coaches stepped in and made small but powerful changes. They swapped Ajwain with fennel seeds (saunf) to help his digestion, suggested vegan protein supplements and more dal for protein, and added a fiber supplement. They also found ways to sneak veggies into his meals, like stuffed parathas, mixed dal, and chicken.

These simple changes improved his digestion and helped him cut his calories from 2200 to 1100, setting him on the right path to managing his diabetes better.

From Disturbed Sleep to Good Quality Sleep: How Our Success Coach Helped Alif Improve His Mental Wellbeing

Our Success Coach worked closely with Alif to help him understand how to manage his diabetes and adopt healthier lifestyle habits. She gave him tips to build a daily routine and shared positive affirmations to boost his confidence.

To tackle his sleep problems, we suggested better sleep hygiene practices and techniques to calm his thoughts and reduce restlessness before bed.

These changes significantly improved Alif’s mental well-being, helping him feel more in control and positive about his life.

From 350 to 490 minutes of Exercise Per Week: How Our Fitness Coach Helped Alif to Improve His Physical Health

When Alif came to us, he was struggling with a sedentary desk job, a high BMI, diabetes, and hypertension. His doctor advised him to lose weight, but he wasn’t sure how to start.

Our fitness coach stepped in, explaining the importance of staying active and encouraging Alif to take short walks during his workday. He was also taught about the right mix of exercises for his body, focusing on strength training and flexibility.

A simple home workout plan was created, using bodyweight exercises to build muscle, and he was guided to increase his heart rate for better fitness and energy. Alif also started a walking routine with 3 minutes of brisk walking followed by 1 minute of normal walking, aiming to reach a healthy heart rate.

Thanks to these changes, Alif boosted his exercise time from 350 to 490 minutes a week. His fitness level improved significantly, and he saw significant changes in his body, losing 26 cm from his hips and 22 cm from his waist, leading to better overall health.
