Meet Jaydev (JDee). When he first approached my team with his reports his health parameters were unsettling. The JDee that you see now went from 44 inches to 37 inches in just five months. What worked for him? Yes, our holistic wellness approach did. But there was something beyond it too. His unshakeable commitment to his goal. If you have ever battled the same struggles that JDee has, I insist you read this story till the end because he has a very special message for you.

“I was one of those people who used to hate going shopping. When I would walk into an outlet, my heart would break. Every color I liked was available in XL or XXL, but never in XXXL. What was left would be plain sad-colored clothes. Even an XXL was a tight fit and made my tummy pop out. So I started wearing sports t-shirts to cover my body fat.

Over the years, I tried many diets and workouts yet could never sustain them. I enrolled in Luke’s Wellness Program, thanks to my brother Sandesh. His journey with Luke is nothing short of a miracle. When my blood test results arrived, I was scared. My health parameters were on the borderline. I told myself, “This is it. I don’t want to be that guy who pops 10 pills a day.” In my first conversation with my guru and mentor Tosha Samant from Luke’s team, I asked – When is the CHEAT day? She calmly but sternly replied, “JDee, we are talking about lifestyle change. There’s nothing called a cheat day”. I freaked out. I wondered what would happen to my late-night binge eating? Paying a huge sum for a middle-class household for the program was a big deal. So I told myself it’s NOW OR NEVER.

The photo on your right was me at my fattest, 117 kgs with a waist size of 44 inches. The journey from 44 to 37 inches was a true revelation. It wasn’t just the food plans but the pure commitment I made. I made what Luke’s team calls a LIFESTYLE change. I would eat healthily and feel full and content most of the time. I was conscious about what, how, and when I ate. Even on my busiest workdays, I never missed my diet or lifestyle routines. I was in tears when I went festive shopping five months later and asked the storekeeper for pants in my size. He promptly showed me 36/37 size pants. Just standing there and looking at the 44 size counter brought tears to my eyes. And it is okay if you don’t understand what I felt this time. For all the people in the plus-size counter looking at the bright clothes and beautiful dresses in the 36/38 counter, trust me when I say this. You can come to this part of the town.

It took me 5 months and commitment like never before. YES, YOU CAN DO IT TOO.

Thanks, Tosha and Luke for giving me a taste of life.”
