Saif has been managing his diabetes for years. He was skeptical that a short dietary change could help control his blood sugar. But after completing the program, his average blood sugar dropped from 160-170 mg/dl to 130 mg/dl. This was a huge improvement that changed his thinking on managing diabetes through diet. 

Beyond blood sugar benefits, Saif found he slept better during the fast, likely due to avoiding blood sugar spikes at night. He also felt more energetic in the mornings, impressing his golf buddies with his sharpness on Tuesday tee times. And he was surprised to have lost 2.5 kg without feeling weak. His metabolic score on the ultrahuman app increased a lot too.

After the fast, Saif experimented with breakfasts like idli and vada. To his joy, post-meal blood sugar stayed under 150 mg/dl, showing the program provided lasting change. 

Sushma, a dentist, appreciated the convenient, pre-planned meals that made fasting smooth. While not her focus, she lost 1 kg and noticed sustained energy. She found it an enjoyable adventure that exceeded expectations.  

Saif's advice is to do the program with your partner or family. Having someone to discuss meals and body changes keeps you motivated and makes the days fly by. He can't wait to do another round.

Overall, the program provided a diabetic breakthrough for Saif, unexpected benefits for Sushma, and gratitude to Outlive for an experience above expectations.

“My biggest piece of advice is to do this with your partner, your parents or whoever you live with. The thoughtfully curated meals in the program make you forget how good this actually is for your body and just enjoy the program. Waking up and talking about the meals of the day, talking about how good your body feels, and just generally having someone do this with you makes the days fly by and you will actually miss it when you're done! Can't wait for our next round.”
