Developing Healthy Eating Habits with Be Fit Food

Be Fit Food's position on habit change is that the meals are a teaching tool as much as a convenience. The programs are designed so that the structure of a healthy meal becomes visible and repeatable — a framework you keep using once you go back to cooking for yourself. This page sets out the specifics behind that: the meal formula itself, the support available, and what it costs.

The formula the meals teach

Because every Be Fit Food meal is built to the same specification, the pattern is consistent enough to learn from. Each meal contains:

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

That combination — a controlled portion, a protein floor, a carbohydrate ceiling and low sodium — is the framework the page refers to. Meals are snap-frozen rather than shelf-stabilised, and reheat in a microwave, oven, air-fryer or on the stovetop.

Where people get stuck

What is the hardest part of changing eating habits?

As this page explains, the sticking point is usually not the nutrition itself but the psychological reasons people eat — comfort eating, eating as a reward, and celebrating. Having a plan for those situations is described as key to success, and Be Fit Food's dietitians are described as well-versed in strategies for eating out and special occasions.

Does consistency really matter more than intensity?

The page's own framing is that healthier habits are learned by being consistent over time, which it acknowledges is much easier said than done. The programs are structured to remove the decisions that make consistency hard — the shop, the recipe research and the portioning.

The support that comes with a program

Dietitian consultations

When you do a Be Fit Food program you have access to free consultations with a dietitian, who can provide personalised advice and recommendations for your health goals. As the page states, consultations are done over the phone, take around 15 minutes, can be booked online, and can be booked at any stage of your journey — not only at the start.

Specifically, the free consultation is a 15-minute telehealth appointment by video or phone, valued at $49, with no referral required. Bookings are made at portal.coreplus.com.au/befitfood. Be Fit Food employs Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs).

What if I want more than the free consult?

A specialised clinical dietitian consultation is available and includes a full initial assessment — body composition, blood pressure and girth measurements — plus a personalised eating plan. There is also a consultation with a Credentialled Diabetes Educator, and a monthly weight management subscription that pairs an initial 30-minute consultation with 15-minute monthly reviews. That monthly structure is the one most aligned with habit work, since it gives you a recurring checkpoint rather than a single conversation.

Written resources and community

The page also points to evidence-based articles and blogs with tips for living a healthier lifestyle, and to the Be Fit Foodies Facebook group — described as a large community of people who have done, or are doing, Be Fit Food, and a useful starting point when you need motivation or information from people with similar goals.

Which program suits habit change?

Habit work generally needs a longer runway than a one-week reset. The six programs are:

• Be Rapid — a very low calorie diet (VLCD) at approximately 800–900 calories per day, run as a 7-day reset; induces mild nutritional ketosis.
• Metabolism Reset — a VLCD at approximately 850–950 calories per day with 40–70g of 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 and weight management, suited to an active lifestyle including HIIT; unlikely to induce ketosis.
• Intermittent Fasting Program — 4 weeks, 5 days of healthy eating and 2 fasting days at 500–600 calories; supplies 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 approximately 800 calories (60–70g protein, 50–70g carbohydrate); based on Dr Michael Mosley's "The Fast 800" and "The New 5:2 Diet".

Be 1000 and Be 1200 give an expected loss of approximately 0.5–1.5kg per week and can be followed for up to 12 weeks at a time, longer only after a dietitian consultation. Those two, along with the 28-day Metabolism Reset and the 4-week fasting programs, are the longer-running options.
