Ms. Pradnya Padhye

From Our Dietician to a Part of Our Family

Our journey with Dr. Pradnya has been much more than simply following a diet plan. From our very first consultation, she made us feel completely comfortable and understood. She took the time to know our routine, our food preferences, and what would genuinely work for us.

What makes our experience so special is that Dr. Pradnya never believed in crash diets or extreme restrictions. She guided us towards food that suited our system and our everyday lifestyle. Her plans were practical, flexible, and something we could actually follow without feeling that we were missing out on everything we loved.

With her personalised guidance, regular follow-ups, and constant encouragement, both of us were able to lose almost 9 kg each. We had started our journey in the three-digit weight range, and reaching double digits was an emotional and proud moment for us.

I would also like to thank Harmeet who was constantly monitoring us and give us the feedback and reminder whoever we deviate slightly from the schedule . Thank you Harmeet for everything

There were definitely days when we lost motivation or felt that we were not progressing. But Dr. Pradnya’s “never give up” attitude kept us going. She never made us feel guilty when we slipped. Instead, she encouraged us to get back on track and reminded us that consistency is more important than perfection.

Her regular follow-ups made us feel that someone was genuinely walking this journey with us. Gradually, she became much more than our dietician—she became someone we could trust, share our struggles with, and turn to for encouragement.

Today, when we look back at our journey, we realise that Dr. Pradnya has not just helped us lose weight; she has helped us develop a healthier relationship with food and with ourselves.

Dr. Pradnya has truly become a part of our family’s wellness journey, and we are genuinely grateful for her patience, warmth, guidance, and unwavering “never give up” spirit.

I took the time to write this because I wanted to share my experience from the heart.

I was a healthy child, but after 35 I gradually became highly obese. That weight gain eroded my confidence—in front of the camera and around people. I had resigned myself to never losing the weight and made peace with my obese self.

Team BalCal entered my life only because of my sister. She was so convinced it would work that she sponsored my journey. I still had little confidence in myself after years of failed diets, dieticians, gyms, and weight-loss programmes on which I had spent lakhs with no results.

She insisted, so I gave it a try—and that’s how Pradnya and Shraddha came into my life (a life I am quite sure they will remain part of, whether they like it or not ). After just one week of clean eating during the trial, I felt less bloated and full of energy. The difference was so striking that I committed to six months—and my incredible journey with Team BalCal began.

It has not been without ups and downs. Weight loss requires effort, yet with excellent guidance and proper nutrition it never feels like a burden. There were plateaus, but that is precisely when the experienced team’s support mattered most. Pradnya and Shraddha’s dedication to my goals kept me motivated. The results followed: weight dropped, inches disappeared, and I could finally fit into my old clothes. With their guidance I also began strength training to tone my arms and legs.

When the first six months ended I still felt motivated to improve, so I continued for another six. The second phase was far from easy—my weight plateaued repeatedly and motivation dipped—but Pradnya patiently explained the science behind it. *** **** ** ****** ************** every decision is grounded in science, and that is something I truly appreciate. Follow their advice consistently and success is virtually guaranteed. Take it casually (as I did in the final three months) and the results will reflect that. They work for you, but you must also work for yourself.

They are never rigid. If you dislike a food they offer alternatives. They never force you to eat what you dislike, nor do they forbid occasional indulgences—they simply show you how to work around them. I have enjoyed cakes, sweets, and restaurant meals and still lost a significant amount of weight.

I am a 43-year-old woman, 5 feet 2 inches tall.

When I began with BalCal in July 2025 I weighed 88.7 kg with an HbA1c of 8.2.

Today, in August 2026, I weigh 63.5 kg with an HbA1c of 5.9.

So you do the Maths!

I was getting tired with small amount work also. My fat% was very high. Therefore i decided to reduce my weight by minimum 10kgs. I & my husbund searched for nutitionist in & around Thane. After seeing many reviews of different nutritionist i found Balcal nutrify better & decided to approch them with my goal. After our first visit we followed thegiven diet for 2 weeks & found that the diet is better it could increase my energy levels. I then decided to go with their 3 months program. I got good mentors Shraddha& Dt.Pradnya who kept watch on my progress & kept on suggesting different diets. This helped me to reduce my weight. I then continued for another 3 month program.In 6 months time I could reduce my weight by 11kgs& i now feel more energised. I can walk for than 1 hr daily. I could easily climbed about 300 steps of sajjangad without feeling tired. I am now happy with whatever achieved & deetermined to follow the diet routine as suggested by Balcal Nutrify. I thank both the mentors who helped me in achieving my goal.

I enrolled with Balcal Nutrefy for their 6-month Weight Loss Program, and it has been a really positive and transformative experience for me.

Before joining, I was struggling to maintain a healthy diet and make consistent changes to my eating habits. I wanted to lose weight, but I was also looking for an approach that wouldn’t feel extremely restrictive or difficult to sustain in the long run. That’s what made me choose Balcal Nutrefy. I was hoping for a practical, sustainable approach to nutrition rather than a strict diet that I would eventually give up on.

What I really appreciated about the program was that there was no rigid or unrealistic diet plan. Instead, I was guided on how to make simple changes to my existing diet and make it more nutritious, balanced, and healthy. I could continue eating foods that I enjoy while learning how to make better choices and manage portions.

The mentor support throughout the journey was also very helpful. I especially loved the flexibility of the program — I could have my favorite meals without feeling guilty, while still staying on track overall. This made the process much easier to follow and fit into my everyday lifestyle.

Over the 6 months, I lost around 8–9 kgs, which I’m really happy about. More importantly, I feel that I’ve developed a much healthier relationship with food. I no longer look at healthy eating as a temporary “diet”; it has become a more sustainable part of my lifestyle.

I would definitely recommend Balcal Nutrefy to anyone who wants to work on their weight and nutrition without following extreme diets. If you’re looking for a realistic, flexible, and sustainable approach, I would definitely recommend giving it a try!

I was Suffering from Weight Problem since years and no matter whatever solutions I tried , nothing yielded me results which led me to lose on confidence and be conscious about my body and appearance. Then I got a reference of Balcal Nutrefy , but still I was of the view point that it would be some another torture without the results. One thing I didn't knew was that time was stepping in Balcal will change my perspective completely. Dt. Pradnya herself and special mention to my Mentor Dt. Nrutika , they both made me actually understand it was an internal imbalance and it can be cured just by simple things. They explained everything very calmly , addressing and clearing all my doubts and Queries. There I gained some Confidence to start the Journey. After the Journey started , it was not actually easy at the start , there were challenges to actually get into the routine and making sure I am eating "RIGHT" , but then eventually things happened and Results started Reflecting ! I felt internally happy and also few visible changes which made me feel good.

My Genuine suggestion that , No matter what are you Suffering from ; If you want to Cure some problem or maybe even just "EAT RIGHT" and maintain healthy lifestyle , then Balcal Nutrefy is your Go to Solution !! Simple and easily available ingredients , Simpler Reciepies , Full packed Nutrition all at one place.... No hard and Fast Rules , Flexible programmes.

A Huge shoutout and Thanks to the Entire Balcal Team ****️

I had the wonderful experience of working with Prachiti as my dietician for almost six months, and it has been a truly positive and rewarding journey.

My body was quite resistant to weight loss, but with her guidance and consistent support, I was able to lose around 4.5 kg. What I appreciated most was her incredibly positive attitude. Even at times when I felt I wasn’t making enough progress and was losing hope, she always encouraged me and helped me see the positive progress I had actually made.

During these six months, I had several office outings, travel, and a few emergencies at home, which made following a diet plan challenging. Prachiti was always calm, understanding, and practical. Instead of making me feel guilty, *** ****** ** ** *** * ***** ****** **** ********** ** *** **** ******** ****

Another thing I really appreciated was that she never simply gave me a diet plan. She took the time to explain the science and reasoning behind each plan, which helped me understand the importance of what I was eating. She was also very flexible and always willing to modify the plan whenever I was uncomfortable with something.

Overall, my journey with Prachiti has been a great learning experience, and I am genuinely thankful for her patience, positivity, and continuous support.

I truly recommend Prachiti and her services to anyone looking for a ************** supportive, and understanding dietician.

I joined the Balcal Nutrefy program after being diagnosed as pre-diabetic, with high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, along with being overweight. I chose Balcal Nutrefy because one of my relatives had completed a program with them and achieved good results.

My experience was life-changing. The program was well structured and followed a scientific plan, while also taking my dietary preferences into account. It included a practical combination of diet and exercise, along with regular check-ins to monitor progress. Although it was initially challenging to follow the plan alongside my work routine, it gradually became much easier to maintain.

My recent test results showed a reduction in cholesterol and triglycerides, and I am no longer pre-diabetic. I have also lost a significant amount of weight. More importantly, the program has changed my mindset towards eating habits and given me a clear roadmap for healthy eating in any situation.

Overall, I feel more positive and energetic than before, and I now have a regular exercise routine that helps me stay fit. The dietitians are ************* *** experienced, and I would definitely recommend Balcal Nutrefy to anyone looking to improve their health. Trust the process, stay consistent, and the results will follow.

I went with limited expectations. To be ready for 7 lake trek, which was due in next 3 months.

Considering my age, I was given basic target of reducing weight and fat.

Dt Pradnya and Dt Nivedita, both explained me the concept, parameters and its relevance. They showed me my current state of health and what is to be achieved in 3 months time.

It was quite motivating session. Initially, it was difficult to follow rule of C:P:F 1:2:1 in every meal. And to take photos. But within a week it became habit.

Subconsciously, I started choosing my food. It means, I started avoiding food items which are high in calories and low in nutrition. It made me aware that, just by selection of right food, combined with right amount of excercise, give a very positive results.

Slowly, over a period of month or so, improved my energy levels, immunity and flexibility.

In less than 3 months my weight reduction target is achieved as well as fat reduction target.

Still, long way to go. But I'm sure with Pradnya around I need not worry. Her guidance will show me right path to healthy life.

Best wishes to Dt Pradnya, Dt Nivedita and entire team of Balcal.

My experience with Balcal Nutrefy was honestly quite amazing. My dietician, Nrutika helped me understand my gut issues in a much simpler and more practical way. What I really appreciated was that she didn’t just give me a diet plan — she made me understand the science behind food and how our everyday habits can affect our gut health.

One of my biggest learnings was understanding how something as simple as not drinking enough water can have such a significant impact on digestion and overall gut health. These small but important insights helped me become more conscious about my daily habits.

I am now completely free with my Bloating, and the results were even better when I lost 5 kg during my journey, while also feeling more aware and in control of my health.

I’m really grateful to Pradnya & Nrutika and the entire Balcal Nutrefy team for their patience, guidance, and personalized approach.

Would definitely recommend Balcal Nutrefy to anyone who is looking to improve their health with the right guidance and understanding.
