Scientifically designed for Weight Management
Horlicks Pro Fitness is scientifically developed to assist individuals in achieving a weight reduction of up to 2 kg over one month, when used in conjunction with a calorie-restricted diet.
Evidence-Based Approach
This claim is based on well-established nutritional science. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association), the most effective strategy for weight loss involves creating a negative energy balance—consuming fewer calories than the body expends [1].
Key recommendations include -
A daily reduction of approximately 500 kilocalories may result in a weight loss of around 0.5 kg per week.
A daily reduction of approximately 1,000 kilocalories may lead to a weight loss of around 1 kg per week [1].
Similarly, the Indian Dietetic Association supports this approach. According to their clinical guidelines, a reduction of 500 to 1,000 kilocalories per day is typically required to achieve a weight loss of 0.5 to 1 kg per week, depending on individual factors such as body composition and activity level [2].
These recommendations are based on the caloric value of body fat
- 1 gram of body fat stores approximately 7.7 kilocalories.
- Therefore, to lose 0.5 kg of fat, a deficit of about 3,850 kilocalories is needed, which translates to a daily reduction of around 550 kilocalories for a weekly weight loss of 0.5 kg.

Individual results may vary. It is recommended to consult a qualified healthcare professional before beginning any weight management program.

What This Means For You:
Helps Create a Calorie Deficit - Weight loss happens when you burn more calories than you eat. With fewer calories per serving, Horlicks Pro Fitness makes it easier to stay within your daily calorie goals.
Still Keeps You Full Even with fewer calories, it’s rich in protein—so you feel full and satisfied without overeating.
Supports Healthy Weight Management - Lower calorie intake, combined with high-quality nutrition, helps you lose weight in a healthy and sustainable way.
Convenient Meal Replacement - It’s a smart swap for a heavy meal when you’re short on time but still want to eat healthy.
One serving (35g powder + 300ml skimmed milk) of Horlicks Pro Fitness gives you 22.4g of protein. That’s about 25–50% of the daily protein needs for most women. The main source of protein in the product is milk protein, which is considered complete—it contains all essential amino acids your body needs. Milk has a PDCAAS score of 1, the highest possible rating, meaning it’s easily digestible and fully usable by the body.
What This Means For You:
Keeps You Full LongerProtein helps you feel full and satisfied after meals. This means you're less likely to snack or overeat later.
Helps You Look LeanerHigh-protein diets can help you lose fat and keep or even build muscle, which can make your body look more toned.
Burns More Calories During Digestion Your body uses more energy to digest protein than it does for carbs or fats. So, eating protein actually helps you burn a few extra calories.
Protects Your Muscles When you lose weight, you want to lose fat—not muscle. Eating enough protein helps your body hold on to muscle while you’re losing weight.
Makes It Easier to Keep the Weight OffPeople who eat more protein often find it easier to maintain their weight loss because they feel fuller and burn more calories naturally.

- Increase energy during exercise
- Support faster and more effective weight loss
- Boost fat metabolism
