Ms. Pradnya Padhye

From Our Dietician to a Part of Our Family Our journey with Dr. Pradnya has been much more than simply following a diet plan. From our very first consultation, she made us feel completely comfortable and understood. She took the time to know our routine, our food preferences, and what would genuinely work for us. What makes our experience so special is that Dr. Pradnya never believed in crash diets or extreme restrictions. She guided us towards food that suited our system and our everyday lifestyle. Her plans were practical, flexible, and something we could actually follow without feeling that we were missing out on everything we loved. With her personalised guidance, regular follow-ups, and constant encouragement, both of us were able to lose almost 9 kg each. We had started our journey in the three-digit weight range, and reaching double digits was an emotional and proud moment for us. There were definitely days when we lost motivation or felt that we were not progressing. But Dr. Pradnya’s “never give up” attitude kept us going. She never made us feel guilty when we slipped. Instead, she encouraged us to get back on track and reminded us that consistency is more important than perfection. Her regular follow-ups made us feel that someone was genuinely walking this journey with us. Gradually, she became much more than our dietician—she became someone we could trust, share our struggles with, and turn to for encouragement. Today, when we look back at our journey, we realise that Dr. Pradnya has not just helped us lose weight; she has helped us develop a healthier relationship with food and with ourselves. Dr. Pradnya has truly become a part of our family’s wellness journey, and we are genuinely grateful for her patience, warmth, guidance, and unwavering “never give up” spirit. Harmeet was the backbone of our entire journey. He supported us wholeheartedly, monitored our progress thoroughly, and ensured that we stayed on track. His consistent follow-ups and genuine involvement made us feel accountable, cared for, and never alone in this process. His support complemented Dr. Pradnya’s guidance beautifully.

I took the time to write this because I wanted to share my experience from the heart. I was a healthy child, but after 35 I gradually became highly obese. That weight gain eroded my confidence—in front of the camera and around people. I had resigned myself to never losing the weight and made peace with my obese self. Team BalCal entered my life only because of my sister. She was so convinced it would work that she sponsored my journey. I still had little confidence in myself after years of failed diets, dieticians, gyms, and weight-loss programmes on which I had spent lakhs with no results. She insisted, so I gave it a try—and that’s how Pradnya and Shraddha came into my life (a life I am quite sure they will remain part of, whether they like it or not ). After just one week of clean eating during the trial, I felt less bloated and full of energy. The difference was so striking that I committed to six months—and my incredible journey with Team BalCal began. It has not been without ups and downs. Weight loss requires effort, yet with excellent guidance and proper nutrition it never feels like a burden. There were plateaus, but that is precisely when the experienced team’s support mattered most. Pradnya and Shraddha’s dedication to my goals kept me motivated. The results followed: weight dropped, inches disappeared, and I could finally fit into my old clothes. With their guidance I also began strength training to tone my arms and legs. When the first six months ended I still felt motivated to improve, so I continued for another six. The second phase was far from easy—my weight plateaued repeatedly and motivation dipped—but Pradnya patiently explained the science behind it. ** every decision is grounded in science, and that is something I truly appreciate. Follow their advice consistently and success is virtually guaranteed. Take it casually (as I did in the final three months) and the results will reflect that. They work for you, but you must also work for yourself. They are never rigid. If you dislike a food they offer alternatives. They never force you to eat what you dislike, nor do they forbid occasional indulgences—they simply show you how to work around them. I have enjoyed cakes, sweets, and restaurant meals and still lost a significant amount of weight. I am a 43-year-old woman, 5 feet 2 inches tall. When I began with BalCal in July 2025 I weighed 88.7 kg with an HbA1c of 8.2. Today, in August 2026, I weigh 63.5 kg with an HbA1c of 5.9. So you do the Maths!

** * . She ** offers a practical solution to every problem. What I liked most about her diet plan is that she doesn't makes you eat any fancy foods. Also she doesn't ask you to prepare any special or different varieties of food but instead asks you to manage your diet through daily home cooked food. That's awesome! I could see the fabulous results following her diet plans and it helped with my gut issues as well. I feel privileged to get her dietary treatment and I wish more and more people to get benefited with Pradnya's knowledge. Last but not the least - her entire team is well trained under Pradnya's close guidance. I loved and enjoyed this journey throughout. Thank you Balcal Nutrefy and Pradnya!

I enrolled with Balcal Nutrefy for their 6-month Weight Loss Program, and it has been a really positive and transformative experience for me. Before joining, I was struggling to maintain a healthy diet and make consistent changes to my eating habits. I wanted to lose weight, but I was also looking for an approach that wouldn’t feel extremely restrictive or difficult to sustain in the long run. That’s what made me choose Balcal Nutrefy. I was hoping for a practical, sustainable approach to nutrition rather than a strict diet that I would eventually give up on. What I really appreciated about the program was that there was no rigid or unrealistic diet plan. Instead, I was guided on how to make simple changes to my existing diet and make it more nutritious, balanced, and healthy. I could continue eating foods that I enjoy while learning how to make better choices and manage portions. The mentor support throughout the journey was also very helpful. I especially loved the flexibility of the program — I could have my favorite meals without feeling guilty, while still staying on track overall. This made the process much easier to follow and fit into my everyday lifestyle. Over the 6 months, I lost around 8–9 kgs, which I’m really happy about. More importantly, I feel that I’ve developed a much healthier relationship with food. I no longer look at healthy eating as a temporary “diet”; it has become a more sustainable part of my lifestyle. I would definitely recommend Balcal Nutrefy to anyone who wants to work on their weight and nutrition without following extreme diets. If you’re looking for a realistic, flexible, and sustainable approach, I would definitely recommend giving it a try!

I was getting tired with small amount work also. My fat% was very high. Therefore i decided to reduce my weight by minimum 10kgs. I & my husbund searched for nutitionist in & around Thane. After seeing many reviews of different nutritionist i found Balcal nutrify better & decided to approch them with my goal. After our first visit we followed thegiven diet for 2 weeks & found that the diet is better it could increase my energy levels. I then decided to go with their 3 months program. I got good mentors Shraddha& Dt.Pradnya who kept watch on my progress & kept on suggesting different diets. This helped me to reduce my weight. I then continued for another 3 month program.In 6 months time I could reduce my weight by 11kgs& i now feel more energised. I can walk for than 1 hr daily. I could easily climbed about 300 steps of sajjangad without feeling tired. I am now happy with whatever achieved & deetermined to follow the diet routine as suggested by Balcal Nutrify. I thank both the mentors who helped me in achieving my goal.

They were very patient with me, explaining every diet plan and personalising the plan according to my college schedule. ** ** still managed toto lose approx 5 kgs in a span of 3 months. Thankful to all the care and love shown by Harmeet and and Pradnya.
