In this first‑person testimonial, 23‑year‑old aerospace engineer Naina Biradar recounts a 17‑year struggle with obesity that began in early childhood. At 87‑88 kg, she felt socially isolated, bullied, and plagued by health issues such as sinusitis, which affected her studies and self‑esteem. After watching Subha’s Satvik Movement video, Naina adopted a structured, practical regimen: fruit breakfasts, Satvik chapati and sabji, elimination of processed and oily foods, a 21‑day juice fast, and regular wet packs/enemas. Within the first juice fast she lost 2‑3 kg, and after two months of the full program she shed about 10 kg, eventually reaching 65 kg. She describes newfound energy, flexibility for yoga, better sleep, and the disappearance of previous ailments. The transformation also altered her social interactions, confidence, and outlook on life, which she attributes to the Satvik lifestyle, Subha’s guidance, and strong family support. The testimonial ends with a motivational call to explore the Satvik lifestyle further.
