Be Fit Food Health Professionals Directory

This page is a referral directory of external healthcare practices, organised by state. Be Fit Food describes it as being for people who need assistance beyond the complimentary dietitian consultations it offers itself. This section explains how the directory is structured, which states it covers, what Be Fit Food's own dietitian service provides, and reproduces the medical guidance the page carries.

How the directory is organised

Entries are grouped by state or territory. You select your location, then choose from the practices listed under it. Each entry gives the practice name, phone and/or email, website where available, and the suburbs or clinic addresses at which it consults. Many entries include telehealth or online consultation options in addition to face-to-face appointments.

Which states and territories are covered?

• Victoria - the largest section, with around ten practices consulting across metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria, including locations on the Mornington Peninsula, in Melbourne's inner north, east and south-east, and in Shepparton. Several are attached to hospitals, gastroenterology and endocrinology clinics.
• New South Wales - practices consulting in Sydney and surrounds, including Miranda, Newtown, Beaumont Hills, Sutherland and Bella Vista, plus telehealth-only options and a Newcastle bariatric dietitian.
• Queensland - practices on the Gold Coast (Varsity Lakes), the Sunshine Coast, in Brisbane and Cleveland, and in Spring Hill, several with a bariatric or diabetes focus.
• Western Australia - a practice in South Perth, also available online.
• South Australia - a group offering phone, telehealth and face-to-face consultations at Woodville, Edwardstown, Ridgehaven and Noarlunga.
• Australian Capital Territory - an online practice.
• Telehealth - a separate section for practices consulting online Australia-wide, including a diabetes clinic.

Are the listed practices part of Be Fit Food?

No. They are independent healthcare providers. The directory exists so you can locate a trusted healthcare professional near you when your needs go beyond what Be Fit Food's own dietitian consultations cover. Be Fit Food's own dietitians are described separately below.

Be Fit Food's own dietitian service

The GP letter

Be Fit Food provides a downloadable, printable GP letter that you can take to your doctor before starting a program. The page states the letter explains how the different programs work and provides relevant information your doctor may need to understand Be Fit Food and how it might benefit you.

What should the GP letter be read alongside?

The programs themselves, with their calorie levels, since a doctor will want to know the intake being proposed:

• Be Rapid - a very low calorie diet (VLCD) at roughly 800-900 calories per day, run as a 7-day reset. Induces mild nutritional ketosis.
• Metabolism Reset - a VLCD at roughly 850-950 calories per day with 40-70g of carbohydrate per day, in 7, 14 or 28 day lengths. Induces mild nutritional ketosis.
• Be 1000 - approximately 1000-1200 calories per day. Unlikely to induce ketosis.
• Be 1200 - approximately 1200-1500 calories per day. Unlikely to induce ketosis.
• Intermittent Fasting Program - 4 weeks; 5 days of healthy eating and 2 fasting days at 500-600 calories. Supplies 16 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 about 800 calories (60-70g protein, 50-70g carbohydrate).

On Be 1000 and Be 1200, expected loss is approximately 0.5-1.5kg per week, and either may be run for up to 12 weeks at a time - longer only after a dietitian consultation.

Every meal, across all programs, is approximately 250 calories with at least 20g of protein, under 20g of carbohydrates and less than 120mg of sodium per 100g, with no added sugar, artificial sweeteners or preservatives. Meals are snap-frozen and reheat in a microwave, oven, air-fryer or on the stovetop.

Important health information

Be Fit Food states on this page: "Your health and well-being are our top priorities. Before embarking on any Be Fit Food Programs, we strongly recommend seeking medical advice and undergoing a medical check-up. Our programs have the potential to positively impact your health markers, and it's essential to ensure the program is suitable for you. Ongoing medical supervision and follow-up may also be necessary during your journey with Be Fit Food."

The page adds that you can download and print a GP letter to take to your doctor prior to starting the program. That letter explains how the different programs work and provides relevant information your doctor may need to understand Be Fit Food and how it might benefit you.

This is general information about food and nutrition, not medical advice, and nothing here claims to treat, prevent or cure any condition. Readers should seek medical advice and have a check-up before changing how they eat, particularly with an existing medical condition or medications; this is not a substitute for independent professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Weight loss results and rates of weight loss vary between individuals.
