The 6 months that I invested with Balcal Nutrefy were a learning experience about my body and its requirements. Dt. Nivedi was an exemplary counselor who made it a point to thoroughly explain to me the various and interesting diet plans which were never a struggle to cope with but rather interesting to follow . By the end of my plan I lost over 20 kgs and the weight loss has been sustained, which had been a struggle for me previously. I strongly recommend Balcal and wish them the very best!

Hello Dt.Pradnya and Dt.Aasavaree
I remember explaining my issues related to hyper acidity and you bring very patient listening to them. As per your guidance for 3 months I have not only overcome hyperacidity but also balanced my weight with 6kg reduction.
Thank You so much and I appreciate your work.

I contacted Balcal Nutrefy because a couple of my close friends were already undergoing weight loss diet consultation with them.
My main requirement was a lifestyle change towards a better, healthier diet and fitness routine. Loosing weight was not an issue and I had done it several times over the last 15 -20 years but always managed to gain that weight back. I wanted a sustainable diet plan that would give me more energy to be active as I was already into trekking and running.
I have done 3 sessions of 3 months each with Balcal Nutrefy and I have managed to loose 10kgs in a period of 9 months. I’m very happy with this progress and it has greatly enabled me to have a regular fitness routine. I workout 6 out of 7 days on a regular basis and I’ve seen an amazing improvement in my running.
The weight loss and my current diet has also given me a positive outlook to life and keeps me in high spirits through the day.
Thank you Pradnya and Nivedi for the valuable advice and walking me through this journey! It has truly been so rewarding!

I approached Balcal Nutrefy after being diagnosed with Grade II Fatty Liver and elevated liver enzymes. My primary goal was to get help in reducing my weight and correcting my BMI, as advised by my family physician, along with correcting my eating pattern.
Dietitian Pradnya and Aasavaree took time to understand my individual needs, preferences, and lifestyle to create a weekly diet plan that truly catered to my situation. There were times when sticking to the exact plan was difficult. They were incredibly accommodating and helped me adjust the plan as needed, without feeling restricted or deprived.
I never felt like I was being told what not to eat. Instead, the focus was on incorporating healthy choices while still allowing me to enjoy the foods I love. This made the plan sustainable and enjoyable in the long run.
I strongly recommend this clinic to anyone who wants to pursue a sustainable weight loss journey.

Her diet plan encompasses a holistic and realistic approach and focuses on health as a whole and not just short term change. Really liked her team member Nrutika too who guided me on my weekly follow up sessions.
Would highly recommend.

I had initially started consultation for weight loss. I achieved my goal with ease and the diet plans didn’t seem difficult to follow. The best part about Balcal Nutrefy is that to start with they understand your diet style and work around that. This becomes sustainable even after you are done with your plans in the long run. Thereafter, I have been taking consultations from Dt. Pradnya Padhye and Dt. Mrudula Gaikwad for my marathon training and have played an instrumental role in my transition from half marathon to full marathons.

I had reached out to BalCal in early 2023 when I wanted to lose weight. At that point I weighed more than I had ever done before and I wanted to get back to a fit physical state. I was just recovering from a surgey and was not in the best mental state. Little did I realise the impact that a helathy, balanced, nutritious diet would have not just on my weight management and energy levels, but also in my disposition. I felt lighter and more positive looking forward to healthy food everyday. This was certainly not what one would expect out of a diet protocol :)
BalCal worked with me in order to incorporate my regular food into meal plans that are healthy. As such, I did not see any major omissions of food that I love from my diet so it was very easy to follow it. And when I would see my weight drop on the scale while eating tasty food all the while without being deprived, it did not feel like a diet program but as something that I was consciously doing to achieve good health and fitness. One myth they have successfully busted for me is that healthy food cannot be tasty.
Last but not the least, I would not have been able to achieve my weight loss without the constant support of Pradnya and my mentor Aasavaree. Pradnya for her science and life skills powered motivation, and Aasavaree for her gentle (and at times firm :)) coaxing weekly reviews and pep talks. A diet plan is important, but without the support of the people at BalCal I would not have been able to achieve what I did. Today I feel confident about my food and nutrition choices because of BalCal. And like I tell Pradnya, the CPF ratio is something that I won’t forget ever. Thank you BalCal for everything.
