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.

I was seeking various plans to suit my weight gain journey and tried various diets but couldn't gain any weight. I found about Dt Pradnya Padhye and visited her clinic last October. The interaction was very detailed. She answered all my queries and gave a very detailed explanation as to why things may not have worked in the past. Her team is also very well informed. The plan given was very simple to follow and I started to reap the benefits within 3 weeks. This was very fast considering I had made any progress before hand.
It has been over 5 months now and am very pleased with the progress I have made. I can also attest to the fact about the follow ups and availability which has been top class to say the least. I am very happy with all parts of my interaction with Dt Pradnya and her team. I can say with utmost confidence that my counselling with Balcal Nutrefy with last long.
Just to mention a few numbers: I have gained 8 kgs in over five months. This is nothing short of extraordinary considering my past history. Overall I would definitely recommend Dt Pradnya Padhye for all your diet plans.

At present being perimenopausal, my hunger satiation required larger intake. But with Pradnya and Nivedi, the dietary framework was not only effective but also fun.
The best part about the dietary term was the weekly call where the diet regime would be changed. I’d look forward to it and enjoy it down the week.
They are very well-informed and generous with their advice - professional but not too calculative - it’s a win win.
I was speedily gaining weight, but with them, my hunger pangs were satiated, cravings neutralised and weight lost gradually instead of alarmingly.

My interaction started during Covid on video call. Right from the first call with Dt. Pradnya I never felt that I am talking to an unknown person. Her ability to understand the problem, provide explanation and possible causes is exceptional. She goes beyond suggesting the diet. Her advice has helped me and my wife immensely in improving our lifestyle and health. Most importantly we have become friends with Pradnya. I would highly recommend her consulting to everyone who wants heathy lifestyle. All the Best to her and entire Balcal Family.

I come to know about Balcal Nutrefy from Google. When I went for my first consultation I was having mixed feelings like if I can do it or not or if the diet will as strict as I can't eat my favourite food. I was wrong Dt. Pradnya and Dt. Richa were always there to help and support me.

I was experiencing weight gain and it's adverse effects on my health. One of my close relatives, who was an extremely happy patient of Balcal Nutrify, recommended your name.
The first interaction with Ms.Pradnya was an eye opener and a path setter towards a need for good health. It was very helpful and satisfying session. Moreover, it had no sign of exaggerated promotion and that, really helped me to opt for the course.
It was an extremely satisfactory 15 months association, interaction and journey towards good health.
You have helped me in reducing weight and gaining self confidence along with a setting up a new road map for healthy lifestyle.

My experience with Balcal Nutrefy was fantastic. I lost around 13 kgs in approximately 4.5 months. At the time of joining the diet program, I was suffering from a host of lifestyle-related diseases. And by the end of the program, I became the healthiest I have ever been. All of this was possible due to the consistent efforts of Dt. Nivedi Chavan. Before beginning every week’s plan, she effortlessly explained its logic and science and how it would help me. She ensured that I was motivated and inspired and helped me build a positive relationship with food. Dt. Pradnya Padhye is also very helpful, accessible, insightful, and encouraging. Thank you, team BCN and especially to Dt. Nivedi, for changing my life. If you want to change your weight holistically, then BCN is the perfect tool.
