Ms. Pradnya Padhye

Hello everyone,

I took a diet plan from Balcal Nutrefy for a month. My main goals were to lose weight and improve my energy levels.

My plan was designed very well keeping the above goals in mind. The dietician Aditi explained me the scientific composition of my diet and helped my understand the importance of each element in the diet plan. She also monitored my performance with frequent weight checks and regular updates on my daily food intake which I had to submit to them. This helped my keep track of the implementation of the diet plan and correct deviations, if any. We had weekly calls to ensure that I was able to follow the diet plan. The plan was not very difficult and while I could follow it only about 90%, it was good enough to give me results immediately. I could lose around 6 kgs in a month which was quite encouraging for me. I was also able to lose fat around the waist region which had earlier become a problem for me.

But apart from the fat / weight loss, the diet plan helped me appreciate the value of protein in my daily intake and its importance in building muscle. My dietician had mentioned in our sessions that protein intake will help me build muscle in the body. So I continued to consume protein as recommended to me. Slowly, the benefits started to show in unexpected ways.

I have been a regular long-distance runner since many years and, of late, I had experienced pain in my left knee after every run. Despite a lot of efforts, I was not able to eliminate it fully. However, a month after following this diet plan, I was stunned to notice that the pain had gradually disappeared. I realised that the only thing different in my daily routine was the fact that I had been consciously consuming a lot of protein only because of the diet plan. It was evident that the increased protein intake had contributed to the repair and recovery of muscle tissue in my knees. This was a totally unexpected benefit of the plan! It enabled me to run better and longer distances and stay free of injury.

So a hearfelt thanks to Balcal Nutrefy, Pradnya and Aditi for a diet plan that not only helped me lose weight / fat but also become more aware of my food choices and its implications.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you,

RB

To sum it up, I must thank Balcal Nutrefy, Pradnya and Aditi for their valuable advice

*A Life-Changing Journey with BalCal Nutrefy*

I'm thrilled to share my incredible experience with BalCal Nutrefy's Nutrition Alignment Program. That is what I will call it, as it definitely is NOT a Weight Loss Diet Program. After struggling to shed those extra 10 kgs post-pregnancy, despite regular gym sessions for 2 years, I turned to this program as another try. Initially, I was skeptical – would I have to stay hungry? Would I be able manage a complex diet plan with kids and a job? Would the results be sustainable?

But after completing the 6-month course and two months of maintaining the habits on my own, I can confidently say that it was a Game-changer! Pradnya and Shraddha’s expertise of understanding how our bodies utilize and react to different food types is truly remarkable. Their guidance helped me develop a healthier relationship with food.

Their support was unparalleled.

What sets BalCal apart is their personalized approach. They're not just handing out a diet plan; but they're a partner in your journey. With daily support, live Q&A sessions, and tailored advice, you'll feel empowered to make sustainable lifestyle changes.

The results speak for themselves – I lost 12 kgs in 6 months while still enjoying my favorite foods! But more importantly, I gained a deeper understanding of my body and its rhythms.

If you're looking for a holistic approach to nutrition and wellness, I highly recommend BalCal Nutrefy. Their program is not just about weight loss; it's about transforming your relationship with food and your body.

I am grateful to my Dieticians Dt. Pradnya and Dt. Aasavaree of BalCal Nutrefy for their dedication and support throughout my weight loss journey. I am a working woman and a mother of two. Against all the daily struggles of household chores and hectic work schedules I could lose 10 Kg within merely 03 months with the easy and doable (home cooked) diet plans prepared by them. They have promoted me to a healthy lifestyle and introduced me to basic food concepts. It was a weight loss journey but more focused on balancing the nutrients deficiencies. Dt. Aasavaree had explained every meal in depth during our weekly follow-up calls. Their expert advice will surely help maintain my health for lifetime.

Working with Pradnya & Mrudula at Balcal Nutrefy has been such a positive and empowering experience.

From the very first conversation, Pradnya was thoughtful, supportive, *** ********** **************

Mrudula ( My Co ordinater ) provided me with all the tools, guidance, and encouragement I needed to navigate my

journey, and I always felt like I had a partner in the process. Her approach is compassionate and practical, and she took the time to truly understand my needs and goals. Thanks to her, I not only feel better physically, but I’m also more confident and informed about how to manage my health long-term. I’m so grateful for her care and expertise!

At Balcal Nutrify every single staff is a special person that made a huge difference in my life. Pradnya was instrumental in helping me find happiness with food and my body. ***** ********* ************* ***** **** ***** *********** I can't recommend her enough!

*** * **** ****** ** **** **** ***** *** ************* ***** *** ** **** ** **** *** *** **** ************ I've learned about my eating habits and how small, incremental changes can lead to big results. Now, no matter what situation I am in, and whether I am eating vegetables or cake, I make the right decisions for my body. It's a comfort to know that you don't have to give up any food or restrict yourself in order to get a healthier body

My Sugar level which was not going down fir almost a year or two was stuck up at 6.2. Now last 1 year it is stable at 5.4.

Being a long distance / Ultra Marathoner Nutrition has helped me to gain strength, stamina, & recovery has been very fast.

* Appreciation Note for My Nutrition Mentors **

I feel truly blessed to have found the right guidance on my fitness journey with BalCal. Under the mentorship of Mridula, I’ve not only achieved significant fat and inch loss but also reached a weight milestone I never thought possible. My weight had never gone below 59 kg, but with BalCal I started losing 1 kg a month consistently. More importantly, as a marathon runner, my TMM 21 km timing improved tremendously thanks to the nutrition plan given by Mridula. *****

A big thank you also goes to Pradnya, whose very first consultation opened my eyes to the importance of understanding the CPF balance in my meals. What I loved most is how she and Mridula even prepare us with special guidelines for days when we are travelling or socialising – so the plan fits seamlessly into real life.

I was first introduced to Pradnya( Balcal) by my runner friend Rajashree Panchal, and the key person behind introducing BalCal to Rajashree is Archana Mantri. My running group, Xtreme Runners, noticed a visible difference in my training performance and appearance in just three months of following BalCal. In fact, many of them have now joined too, and we even gifted a 3-month BalCal plan to a fellow runner on his 50th birthday – that’s how much we vouch for it!

For me, this is not just a short-term diet; it’s a lifestyle I can continue forever. I’m truly grateful to Mridula & Pradnya for being my guiding lights in this journey – mentors I can trust for life* **

Pradnya is a good instructor which she helps to how to maintain your weight. She is going through very deeply in a particular subjets/things such as, she gives deeply explanation, guidance why things is important related to health issues, diet , healthy food and so .*** ** * **** ********** friendly as well good listener.

I am truly grateful to my dieticians, Ms. Pradnya Padhye and Ms. Nivedi Chavan, for their guidance and support on my health journey. Before consulting them, I was under the impression that “diet” meant eating something fancy in fixed portions at strictly defined intervals – something I thought would be very difficult to manage as a working woman. However, they completely changed my perspective. They aligned the diet plans with my existing eating habits, kept multiple options open for me, and even allowed festive indulgence, which made the whole process sustainable.

I first decided to consult them after being diagnosed with grade-1 fatty liver and also experiencing excessive weight gain during last 2-3 years. They patiently explained the concepts of a healthy diet, portion control, and balance in a way that was simple and easy to follow.

With their manageable diet plans, I not only lost 8 Kgs in 6 months, but also saw remarkable improvements in my overall health. My menstruation-related issues, digestion problems reduced, my sleep quality improved, and over a period of 6 months, my body age reduced by 7 years!

The weekly follow-up calls played a key role in keeping me on track and motivated. Through this journey, I realized that diet is just as important as exercise in maintaining a healthy body composition.

Thanks to Pradnya and Nivedi, I now feel healthier, more energetic, and more confident. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for sustainable and effective diet guidance.

I consulted Dt. Pradnya Padhye and Dt. Nivedi Chavan at BalCal Nutrefy for nearly three months leading up to my Comrades Marathon in June 2025. My goal was to manage my weight for this ultra-distance run and address recurring issues—especially cramping after 35–40 km, and optimizing my nutrition, hydration, and gel intake before, during, and after runs for better performance and recovery.

I already knew Dt. Pradnya as a friend and through our common running group and trusted her approach—she is extremely ************** accessible, and refreshingly flexible, not the typical rigid dietitian.

Dt. Nivedi was equally impressive—she explained everything clearly from our very first meeting until Marathon Day, closely monitored my progress, and ensured there was plenty of flexibility in my nutrition plans to adapt to my needs.

The impact of their guidance was phenomenal. Thanks to their tailored nutrition and hydration strategies, I completed the Comrades Marathon without a single cramp. My pre-run preparation and post-run recovery were smooth, effective, and perfectly optimized. I can confidently say that completing the Comrades Marathon successfully was primarily due to their expert consultation. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to any athlete serious about performance and recovery.

*I've been piling on the pounds since moving to Canada, and it really shot up after Covid. My doctor even prescribed me BP meds after that! That's why I finally saw a dietitian, and I'm so glad I found BALCAL NUTRIFY (Pradhnya Padhye and Mrudula Gaikwad)* **They made the process super easy. Mrudula patiently explained every diet change, it's benefits, and the science behind it. All—like talking to a friend. * For someone like me, who always thought I'd never restrict my food, the BALCAL Nutrify plans felt totally doable. I didn't even feel like I had to make huge changes; I ate the same stuff, just the right amounts, proportions, and timing.

I'm so happy I joined BALCAL! They helped me lose 20 kgs in a year and a half. It could have been faster if I'd been more diligent about not consuming treats and exercising consistently. * I have and will keep on recommending BALCAL Nutrify to every individual who is seeking a dietitian.

Thanks again Mrudula and Pradhnya*
