Be 1000 Program

Be 1000 provides approximately 1000–1200 calories per day. It is the Be Fit Food program chosen by people seeking slower, more gradual weight loss — and by those maintaining a weight loss they have already achieved.

It suits an active lifestyle, and it is deliberately educational: the program is structured to teach carbohydrate awareness and portion control, so the Be Fit Food eating philosophy carries over into your own cooking once the program ends.

Be 1000 compared with Be Rapid

These two programs work differently and it matters which one you are on.

• Be Rapid is a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) providing approximately 800–900 calories per day, designed to put the body into a state of mild nutritional ketosis.
• Be 1000 provides approximately 1000–1200 calories per day and is unlikely to induce mild nutritional ketosis.

Be 1000 trades speed for sustainability. If rapid metabolic reset is the goal, Be Rapid is the relevant program; if gradual loss or maintenance alongside an active life is the goal, Be 1000 is.

Expected rate of weight loss

The program provides fewer calories than your body needs, so weight loss occurs at an approximate rate of 0.5–1.5kg per week. Weight loss results and rates of weight loss vary and depend on the individual.

How long you can stay on Be 1000

You can remain on the program for up to 12 weeks at a time. You can continue for longer if you wish, but Be Fit Food recommends a dietitian phone consultation with one of its Accredited Practising Dietitians before staying on the program beyond 12 weeks.

What is included each day

Be 1000 provides breakfast, either a 2-course lunch or dinner, and one protein-based snack. Alongside the meals you receive a Recommended Extras Guide listing nutritious low-starch vegetable and salad items, protein-based snacks and low-carb fruit options.

Every meal on the program carries approximately the same number of calories, so you can mix and match freely. The one rule is to eat everything provided in the day — the calorie target assumes you do.

The meals themselves

Every Be Fit Food meal is built to a consistent clinical specification: approximately 250 calories, 20g or more protein, under 20g carbohydrates and under 120mg sodium per 100g, with no added sugar, no artificial sweeteners and no preservatives.

Meals are snap-frozen to lock in nutrients rather than shelf-stabilised, which is how that specification is met without preservatives. Reheat using a microwave, oven, air-fryer or stovetop following the instructions on the label or the website.

Getting the best result from the program

• Do not skip meals or snacks, even if you are not hungry. Skipping leads to excessive hunger later in the day or immediately after the next meal.
• Use herbs and spices, not salt. Fresh parsley, basil or chilli add flavour without affecting your results; salt stimulates hunger.
• Avoid alcohol. It stops the liver clearing body fat and encourages fat storage instead, which works directly against the result you are after.
• Bulk out meals with the Recommended Extras Guide — side salads and non-starchy vegetables can be added to Be Fit Food meals.

Important health information

Before starting a new way of eating, Be Fit Food encourages you to seek medical advice and have a medical check-up, particularly if you have a current medical condition and/or are taking medications. The programs can improve health markers and you may require ongoing follow-up. This information is not a substitute for independent professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
