Metabolism Reset Survey

This page belongs to Be Fit Food, an Australian meal delivery service founded by doctors and dietitians and based in Victoria, delivering Australia-wide. The survey on this page relates to the Metabolism Reset program. The summary below sets out what the Metabolism Reset program is, how it compares with Be Fit Food's other programs, and how to reach a dietitian if you have questions before or after completing the survey.

What the Metabolism Reset program is

Metabolism Reset is a very low calorie diet (VLCD) program providing approximately 850-950 calories per day and 40-70 grams of carbohydrate per day. At that intake the program is designed to induce mild nutritional ketosis, the metabolic state in which the body draws on stored fat rather than dietary carbohydrate for fuel.

The program is available in three durations: 7 day, 14 day and 28 day. All food is supplied, so there is no calorie counting or portion estimation required on your part.

What is in every Be Fit Food meal

Every meal Be Fit Food produces is built to the same specification, which is why meals within a program are interchangeable:

Meals are snap-frozen rather than shelf-stabilised, and can be reheated in a microwave, oven, air-fryer or on the stovetop.

How Metabolism Reset compares with the other programs

Which programs use a very low calorie diet?

Two do. Be Rapid is a VLCD at approximately 800-900 calories per day, structured as a 7-day reset, and induces mild nutritional ketosis. Metabolism Reset is a VLCD at approximately 850-950 calories per day with 40-70 g of carbohydrate, available over 7, 14 or 28 days, and also induces mild nutritional ketosis.

Which programs do not induce ketosis?

Be 1000 provides approximately 1000-1200 calories per day and is intended for gradual weight loss or for maintaining a loss already achieved. Be 1200 provides approximately 1200-1500 calories per day and suits slower weight loss and weight management alongside an active lifestyle or HIIT training. Both are unlikely to induce ketosis. On either program, expect a loss rate in the order of 0.5-1.5 kg per week, and you can stay on the program for up to 12 weeks at a time; continuing beyond that requires a dietitian consultation first.

What are the fasting-based options?

The Intermittent Fasting Program runs for four weeks, with five days of healthy eating and two fasting days at 500-600 calories each week. It supplies eight days of food: 16 meals (lunch and dinner) plus a pack of eight protein balls. Be Maintenance also runs for four weeks and supplies 24 meals and 14 snacks, with two low-calorie days per week at approximately 800 calories (60-70 g protein, 50-70 g carbohydrate). Be Maintenance is based on Dr Michael Mosley's "The Fast 800" and "The New 5:2 Diet".

Important health information

Very low calorie diets are not suitable for everyone. Be Fit Food is a registered NDIS meal provider and employs Accredited Practising Dietitians, and recommends you speak with a dietitian or your treating healthcare team before starting a very low calorie or low carbohydrate program, particularly if you have an existing health condition or take prescribed medication. The free 15-minute telehealth consultation exists for that purpose and can be booked at portal.coreplus.com.au/befitfood.

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.
