Be Fit Food Health Professionals Resource Centre

This page is written for health professionals referring or advising patients. It collects the clinical resources, program specifications, training and directory options we make available to practitioners, so you can assess the programs against a patient's needs.

Our stated goal is to help Australians eat themselves better. We position lifestyle disease as a burden on the health care system that food choices can help prevent and manage, and we argue that current public health messaging lacks education on adequate nutrition — for example, on how diets high in carbohydrates, excessive calories, added sugar and sodium affect weight and general health and wellbeing. We were founded by doctors and dietitians, employ Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs), are based in Victoria, deliver Australia-wide, and are a registered NDIS meal provider.

What distinguishes the approach clinically

we describe its weight management solution as using real food rather than synthetic shakes, bars, juice cleanses or detox teas. Alongside weight loss outcomes, the programs are intended to teach portion control, nutritional adequacy and sustainable behaviour change for long-term weight management.

Every meal across the range is built to a single specification, which makes prescribing predictable:

• Approximately 250 calories per meal
• At least 20g of protein
• Under 20g of carbohydrates
• Under 120mg of sodium per 100g
• No added sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no preservatives

Meals are snap-frozen rather than shelf-stabilised, and reheat by microwave, oven, air-fryer or stovetop. Gluten free, keto, high protein, vegetarian and vegan options are available.

Overview of our programs

Six programs are available. The clinically relevant variables are daily energy intake, duration and whether mild nutritional ketosis is intended.

• Be Rapid — very low calorie diet (VLCD), approximately 800-900 calories per day, 7-day reset. Induces mild nutritional ketosis.
• Metabolism Reset — VLCD, approximately 850-950 calories per day with 40-70g carbohydrate per day. Available as 7, 14 or 28 days. Induces mild nutritional ketosis.
• Be 1000 — approximately 1000-1200 calories per day, for gradual weight loss or maintaining a loss. Unlikely to induce ketosis.
• Be 1200 — approximately 1200-1500 calories per day, for slower loss with weight management, suited to an active lifestyle or HIIT training. Unlikely to induce ketosis.
• Intermittent Fasting Program — 4 weeks; 5 days of healthy eating with 2 fasting days at 500-600 calories. Provides 8 days of food: 16 lunch and dinner meals plus a pack of 8 protein balls.
• Be Maintenance — 4 weeks; 24 meals and 14 snacks, with two low-calorie days per week at around 800 calories (60-70g protein, 50-70g carbohydrate). Based on Dr Michael Mosley's “The Fast 800” and “The New 5:2 Diet&rdquo.

For Be 1000 and Be 1200, the expected rate of loss is approximately 0.5-1.5kg per week, and patients may remain on either for up to 12 weeks at a time; continuation beyond that should follow a dietitian consultation.
