Mumbai has no shortage of dieticians and nutritionists, which can make choosing the right one feel overwhelming, especially when you are trying to sort genuine expertise from social media hype.
This guide exists to cut through that noise: rather than a generic directory listing, it is a curated round-up of professionals who consistently earn client trust for weight loss, clinical nutrition, and everyday healthy eating.
Each entry looks at the dietician’s approach, areas of specialization, and what clients can realistically expect from working with them, so you can make an informed choice instead of guessing.
To make the search easier, here is a look at five names that consistently come up when people ask for genuine, results driven nutrition support in the city, starting with the one clients most often recommend first.”

1. Q Slim Fitness Studio, Led by Pallavi Srivastava
Q Slim Fitness Studio in Andheri West is widely regarded as one of the best dieticians in Mumbai, and it is easy to see why once you look at how the practice is run. Led by Pallavi Srivastava,
Q Slim takes a clinical, assessment first approach to nutrition rather than handing out generic diet charts. Every plan starts with a detailed understanding of the client’s goals, medical history, dietary recall, and a full body assessment covering fat percentage, muscle percentage, and BMI.
What sets Q Slim apart is the sheer breadth of conditions it covers under one roof, including weight loss, weight gain, PCOS, thyroid, diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, fatty liver, kidney health, pregnancy and lactation, geriatric nutrition, IBS and GERD, immunity, muscle building, skin health, and post menopausal care.
Plans are updated every ten days based on progress, with continuous follow-up support built into the program rather than offered as an afterthought. Q Slim also offers online consultations for clients across India and abroad, making it a genuinely accessible option whether you are based in Mumbai or consulting from overseas. For anyone comparing options, Q Slim Fitness is consistently the name that comes up first, and for good reason.
