Ms. Pradnya Padhye

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 :)

I am pleased to share my positive experience with Balcal Nutrefy. At the start of my journey, my weight was 70.4 kg and my HbA1c was 6.9, which raised concerns about my overall health.

Through structured guidance, a practical meal plan, and consistent support, I was able to achieve sustainable results without extreme dieting. The approach was balanced and tailored to fit my daily routine.

Currently, I maintain a weight of 61–62 kg, and my HbA1c has improved significantly to 5.6. Beyond the physical results, this program has helped me build healthier habits and a disciplined mindset.

I appreciate the team’s professionalism and continuous encouragement throughout my transformation. I’m deeply thankful to Dt. Pradnya Padhay, Dt. Shraddha, and Dt. Mrudula for believing in me and supporting me at every step.” confidently recommend this program to anyone seeking long-term, healthy results.

Very efficient and friendly guidance.

Regular follow up encouraged achieving the set goal. Thanks a lot

I had a truly excellent experience with Balcal Nutrefy under the guidance of Dr. Pradnya Padhye and Dr. Shraddha. At the beginning of my journey, my HbA1c level was very high at 11.1, and I was quite concerned about my health. However, with their expert guidance and consistent support, my HbA1c reduced to 7.7 within just two months, which is a remarkable improvement.

In addition to better sugar control, I also experienced significant weight loss, going from 128 kg to 116 kg. This has made a big difference in my overall health and well-being. I feel much more energetic, and many of my deficiencies have also improved.

What I appreciated the most was their practical and sustainable approach. They did not recommend expensive or hard-to-find foods, *** *** **** **** *********** ********* Instead, they created a diet plan based on my regular, everyday foods—simply modifying the timing, combinations, and portions, along with adding a few easily available items. This made it very easy for me to follow the plan consistently.

Both doctors were extremely supportive, cooperative, and always available to clear my doubts. They guided me patiently throughout the process and made the entire journey comfortable and enjoyable.

I am very grateful for their help and would highly recommend Balcal Nutrefy to anyone looking to improve their health in a realistic and sustainable way.

I had an excellent experience with my dietitian. With her guidance and personalized diet plan, I successfully lost 6–7 kg and, more importantly, improved my health significantly. My HbA1c dropped from 6.3 to 5.8, showing a clear improvement in my blood sugar levels.

The diet plans were practical, easy to follow, and tailored to my lifestyle. She was always supportive, motivating, and focused on sustainable habits rather than quick fixes. I highly recommend Dr. Pradnya and Aditi to anyone looking to lose weight, manage their sugar levels, and build a healthier lifestyle.

My experience with Dr. Pradnya for diabetes management was excellent. She listened to my health concern carefully, understood my eating habits and explained everything in a simple n clear way. The diat plan was easy to follow and sustainable. She guided me on portion control, sugar levels and healthier food choices without making it too difficult. Nrutika, our coordinator, was very helpful & regularly followed up on my sugar readings during the grain trials. After the 3 months program, I feel more energetic and my HbA1C is also getting normalised. Their support has helped me to understand diabetes better and made me feel more confident about managing my health.

I joined Balcal Nutrefy midway through my weight-loss journey, at a point where I had already lost around 15 kg on my own through a strict caloric deficit. However, I had hit a frustrating plateau where nothing seemed to work. That’s when I decided to take professional guidance *** ******* ****** ******* ****** *** ** ** *** **** ******** * ***** **** *****

***** ******** ** **** ********* ** ********* **** ** ****** *** ************** ************** Instead of drastic or restrictive measures, they focused on sustainable habits and a structured plan tailored to my needs. What really stood out was how practical and realistic their guidance was it seamlessly fit into my daily routine without making me feel like I was constantly dieting.

They simplified the entire process to such an extent that it genuinely didn’t feel like I was putting in any extra effort, yet the results kept coming. Their continuous support, regular check-ins, and ability to adapt the plan based on progress made a huge difference in breaking my plateau and keeping me consistent.

I joined them when I was at 102kgs and the team helped me come down to 82kgs - 20kgs loss.

I’m truly grateful for their guidance (especially Dr.Mrudula and Dr.Aasavaree) and would highly recommend Balcal Nutrefy to anyone looking for a sustainable and effective weight-loss journey 10/10.

Before starting this nutrition plan, I frequently experienced low energy levels, fluctuations in blood pressure and sugar levels, and severe palpitations and discomfort before my menstrual cycle. Since following the diet consistently, I’ve noticed a remarkable improvement in my overall health and well-being. My blood sugar and BP levels are now well-balanced, my energy levels have significantly improved, and the pre-menstrual symptoms that once affected my daily routine have almost completely disappeared. The approach was not only effective but also sustainable and thoughtfully tailored to my needs. I’m genuinely grateful for the positive transformation and would highly recommend this guidance to anyone looking to improve their health holistically.

I have been dealing with PCOD for as long as I can remember. I wanted to start eating healthy, and A friend recommended Balcal Nutrify. I started following their plans and within weeks I could feel a difference in my energy levels. My eating habits became better and the maintenance plans were sustainable. I lost around 4 kgs of weight. 9 months after I stated their plan, my pcod had improved and periods became regular. Immensely Grateful to Aditee for her guidance!

I cannot recommend Dietician Pradnya and Aasavaree highly enough! I just completed a 3-month journey with them and lost a total of 18 kgs. What sets them apart is how practical their approach is—the diet plans were simple and integrated easily into my life. Since I live with my in-laws, I couldn't make drastic changes to our household meals, and they worked around that perfectly.

Beyond the weight loss, they taught me 'mindful eating,' which is a lifestyle change I’ll carry forever. I joined because my sister (who had struggled with other dieticians in the past) finally found success here and has stayed for over a year. I’m so glad I took her advice. If you want sustainable results without feeling like an outsider in your own kitchen, this is the team for you!
