Ms. Pradnya Padhye

I started my weight loss journey with Balcal Nutrefy when I was 8 months postpartum, weighing 138 kg. As a first-time mom and the sole caregiver for my daughter, finding time for myself, let alone following a diet felt almost impossible. Four months later, I'm at 121 kg,and I'm genuinely happy with the progress I've made.

One thing I really appreciated was how understanding the team was. They took my postpartum phase and busy routine into account and never expected me to follow an unrealistic plan. Instead, they gave me meals that were simple, easily customizable, and fit into my day without adding extra stress. That made it so much easier to stay consistent.

A special mention to my dietitian, Aditee. She was incredibly consistent with her follow-ups and never missed our weekly check-ins. Even on the weeks when I found it difficult to check in because life with a baby got hectic, she always reached out, encouraged me, and helped me stay accountable without making me feel guilty.

I've tried losing weight many times in the past, but I was never able to stick with it. This is the first time I've been able to make real, sustainable progress, and I truly believe it's because of Aditee and the entire Balcal Nutrefy team. Their guidance, encouragement, and understanding made all the difference.

I still have a journey ahead of me, but losing 17 kg in four months has given me so much confidence and motivation to keep going.

Thank you, Aditee, and the entire Balcal Nutrefy team, for helping me become a healthier, happier version of myself. You've truly made me feel like a new and better person, and I'll always be grateful for your support.

As a foodie, I have always been overweight, and even after staying active with Gym, Cardio, Cycling, etc, I was not able to lose weight. I finally found out that diet is responsible for 80% of your health and only 20% is dependent on gym, but at the same time, one cannot be helpful without the other.

So, around June 2025, almost a year ago, I was looking for a dietician to guide me for my weightloss goals, and at the same time one who would suggest sustainable diet plans that are neither too difficult to follow, nor painful like what others keep suggesting, like removing my favourite snacks or desserts from my life or something, but still effective enough that actually show results on the scale and in my clothes.

Online reviews helped me find Dietician Pradnya's Balcal Nutrefy, and while I cannot thank the previous reviewers enough for sharing their experiences, leading to me finding her, I want to actively share my experience so anyone else looking for a Dietician for weightloss can go in, knowing why I highly regard Dt. Pradnya & Team's BCN as top choice.

Last June, I was 94, and within 10 months, I was able to lose 11 KGs and now I am at 83, even after taking some breaks in between due to travel and work. I was able to achieve all these without giving up my favourite foods, snacks, and desserts, and I have been able to actively maintain my weightloss all thanks to the approach they take, to explain you how your body works, what all parameters are important, what is in the food, and what the healthy way of eating is to balance everything.

Prior to the first consultation, I was told by the team to get my blood test done externally, and to provide my dietary preferences, and my existing food & exercise patterns and schedules.

After visiting the clinic, Dt. Lateshwari from BCN team first did my Body Composition and Analysis (BCA) and then explained all the numbers and parameters from the Blood Report and BCA, explained the difference between my numbers and ideal numbers, and then Dt. Pradnya explained theory behind digestion of different foods, the right proportions to have them, how to manage diets on days where it's specifically not possible to follow it to the point, and then provided me with a one-week plan to begin with.

This was a huge shift in proportions of the macros - Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Fiber that I used to have before and what I am supposed to have, so I would be lying if I said it instantly clicked in for me, but within three days, I realised that I was staying fuller for longer and with just some cardio excercise to begin with, I had already dropped a kg in a week.

I enrolled in the premium plan where my mentor was Dt. Lateshwari, who followed my daily meals and exercises, the mid-week weight updates, weekly consultation calls for plan updates & monthly BCAs at the clinic, and every alternate week's consultation was done by Dt. Pradnya.

We were connected via a WhatsApp group for updates, with them encouraging me to ping with any doubt or concern, and I could see the updated plans from the app, which also synced my step counts for them to track and follow-up on, apart from the food and excercise diary that I used to share on the group.

This helped a lot, and by the second week they reintroduced ch-eat-meal, restaurant/office meals, and how to manage it all properly.

My wow moment was when within a month of enrolling, where I was about to go for a 11-day Europe Trip, and they provided me proper plan for that too, so even after having Croissants and Pain-Au-Chocolats for breakfast followed by proper meals, nuts and SOS Protein Bars, and when I came back I found I had lost 2kgs while having enjoyed the tour properly without any sacrifice. (Yeah, the 16k steps per day average definitely helped but still- the way they explained the basics helped me enjoy all the indulgences, while balancing the nutrition well)

The progress was both fast and slow at times, and they kept providing different plans according to the body's state and especially the plateau breaker plans were introduced when the need was felt. Any new plan was properly introduced and proper guidance was provided based on how complicated the shift was, and then followed up again when the plan was switched out for another one again.

Amidst all of this, never did they ever suggest any kind of crash diet, and every diet plan was well balanced, and the weightloss results were complimentary with my level of exercise.

One more thing I observed is that the results started reflecting within a few months, with appreciative comments coming in from my relatives and colleagues about my weight loss.

I myself felt great when the same clothes that I had kept aside as they felt tight, again started fitting me properly. Also the kind of funny/bittersweet feeling of my existing clothes started feeling loose and oversized, thereby warranting a need of wardrobe refresh is unexplainable.

Overall, I would like to conclude by saying that weightloss needs a lot of patience, especially the willpower of not giving up efforts when the needle doesn't move for days, and with the right mentors that I have had, it was a regular journey.

Hope this review helps whomever else is in a similar state to what I was in last year, and they take the first steps in the direction they intend to be in.

I am and always will be grateful to Dt. Pradnya, Lateshwari and Harmeet :)

Before joining Balcal Nutrefy, I had tried several weight-loss programs, but I could never continue any of them for more than 2–3 months. With Dt. Pradnya Padhye, however, the experience was completely different. I successfully completed the entire one-year program, lost more than 9 kg, and, most importantly, achieved my primary goal of improving my health.

When I started the program, I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. My main focus was not just weight loss but also getting my blood sugar levels under control. I'm happy to share that my diabetes was resolved within the first half of the program, and my blood reports improved significantly. The weight loss was an added benefit. Today, I feel much more energetic, active, and enthusiastic in my day-to-day life.

One of the biggest reasons I could stay consistent for a full year was Pradnya Ma'am's personalized approach. She always designed diet plans based on my lifestyle and preferences. Before finalizing any plan, she would ask whether it suited my routine, and if there was any food item I didn't like or couldn't manage, she would immediately suggest practical alternatives. This flexibility made it much easier to follow the plan without feeling restricted.

I chose Balcal Nutrefy because I wanted a sustainable and personalized approach rather than a temporary diet. ******* ***** ** *** *** ** *** **** ********* * **** *** ** ******* I sincerely thank Dt. Pradnya Padhye for her continuous guidance, motivation, and support throughout my journey. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for long-term, healthy, and sustainable lifestyle changes.

A friend suggested I try BalCal when I was struggling to lose the weight I had gained during perimenopause. Joining BalCal turned out to be one of the best decisions I made.

My dedicated dietitian, Shraddha, patiently guided me every step of the way. Although I’ve always led a healthy lifestyle and understood the basics of nutrition, she helped me understand the finer details and make small but impactful changes.

What I truly appreciated about BalCal was its practical and sustainable approach. There were no crash diets or impossible routines—just simple modifications to my regular meals, easy-to-follow recipes, and learning to eat the right foods at the right time.

The biggest change for me was balancing my protein intake, which completely eliminated my sugar cravings. The weight came off slowly and steadily, making the journey enjoyable and sustainable.

A big thank you to Dr. Pradnya for creating such a thoughtful program, and a very special thank you to Shraddha for her patience, encouragement, and constant support throughout my journey!

I joined Balcal Nutrefy because I had been struggling with my weight for years and wanted a healthy way to lose it. I chose Dt. Pradnya and Dt. Nrutika because their approach felt practical and realistic. With their guidance, I lost weight from over 85 kg to under 65 kg, and my health reports are now normal. Thank you for all the support throughout the journey.

I feel much more confident.

Your balanced diet advise - has taught me to eat the right foods , in the right proportion. I observed there were hardly any restrictions. Very simple to adhere to.

Your daily monitoring and regular follow up calls has kept me focused on the goal

Thank you

I'm a fairly average Indian guy in my mid-40s. Played sports, stayed active through my 20s, but somewhere along the way corporate life took over and healthy habits lost focus. By the time I paid attention, the damage was done. My HbA1c and cholesterol were out of range. I had developed high blood pressure, fatty liver, gallbladder polyps and had high visceral fat. My doctor gave me a firm nudge to get serious before things escalated further.

I found Balcal Nutrefy's brochure at my doctors and reached out to them. From the very first consultation, I felt heard rather than lectured or judged. I signed up for the 'Therapeutic nutrition" program and was paired with dieticians Aasavaree and Mrudula, working under the experienced supervision of Pradnya.

Given my specific health conditions, I was a bit nervous about how restrictive things would get. That concern turned out to be unnecessary. They didn't hand me a list of things I couldn't eat. Instead, they took the time to explain why certain foods work for my body and how to build balanced meals around my food preferences. Social outings, guests visiting, busy travel weeks - there was a plan to manage everything. They gave me the tools to make sensible choices in real situations rather than demanding perfection.

The regular follow-ups kept me honest and on track without ever feeling like surveillance or pressure. Both Aasavaree and Mrudula were approachable, patient, and genuinely invested in how I was doing.

Six months in, the results speak for themselves. I lost close to 10% of my body weight. More importantly, my HbA1c and cholesterol are back in the healthy range, and my overall metabolic picture looks way better. These numbers matter far more to me than what the scale says.

This journey has genuinely changed how I think about food. Something I wish I had learnt years ago.

If you are on the fence wondering whether this is worth it, it absolutely is. The guidance here is thoughtful, practical, and gets results, but only if you are motivated to work alongside. I'm grateful to the entire team at Balcal Nutrefy. Thank you

I feel amazing to express my feelings.

I have lost almost 9 kgs in just 3 months.

I have been trying from last 1 year to lose weight. It is a huge change to finally be in the normal weight range and I am feeling better now.

The diet was simple and easy to follow. When you put your mind to something- anything is achievable. I didn't feel like I starved ever during diet.

I feel healthier and more confident than ever.

Overall this is an amazing feeling inside ans outside.

Thank you again for helping me in the transformation.

It is indeed a lifestyle change and I will continue this for life. *️

Coming from a football background, I genuinely thought I had my diet all figured out - until I joined BalCal Nutrefy! I'd been experiencing frequent bloating and a weight gain journey that had completely stalled, with no real structure to my nutrition.

Right from the first consultation, Dt. Prachiti and Dt. Pradnya took the time to really understand my lifestyle and goals, and gently pointed out where I'd been going wrong. *** ******** *** **** ** ******** *** **** ***** * patiently working around my hectic schedule, tweaking my plan, checking in regularly, and always happy to answer my endless questions.

And the results speak for themselves: my gut feels much better, and I've gained muscle while losing fat at the same time. Highly recommend Dt. Prachiti and the team at BalCal Nutrefy!

This is Manoj Purohit, I visited Pradnya Padhye founder of Balcal Nutrefy basically for weight loss program as I was over weight and had pain in the knees while getting down the stairs. I had known Pranya for a long time and I had also heard of remarkable results of transformation of some of her clients who were common friends. So when I visited Balcal, my first meeting was with Pradnya who heard to the compalints/issues and the purpose of me visit to her. She then introduced me to my mentor, Nrutika, who was to guide me through my weight loss journey. In the very first meeting I was asked to get the complete body profile checked. From the reports, it was deteced that I was having borderline diabetes as well as high cholestral levels. Then my journey towards the weight loss started along with bringing back the blood sugar and cholestral to its normal levels.

The dietary plan would be changed every week and if any particular diet plan was not suitable or caused discomfort, my mentor Nrutika, was just a call away and she would change my diet plan for the week. There were weekly follow up calls with the mentor and a monthly visit to the clinic to check the difference in body composition.

Ultimately, I completed my weight loss program and at the end of it I not only lost 10 kgs weight but the blood sugar and cholestral was well within the normal range without taking any medicines and I have adopted a healthy life choices.

During this journey of one and half year, I was amazed at the professional approach of not only Pradnya and the mentor Nrutika but the entire team of Balcal Nutrefy. I am glad that I invested in myself and joined Balcal who helped me change the direction of my health.

My sincere gratitude to Pradnya, Nrutika and team Balcal.
