Be Fit Food on Ticker TV

This page is Be Fit Food's Ticker TV hub. It collects the nutrition segments and accompanying written articles produced by Be Fit Food's dietitian team, and links to additional segments. You can also sign up here to receive weekly nutrition tips.

Be Fit Food is an Australian meal delivery service founded by doctors and dietitians, based in Victoria and delivering Australia-wide, and it employs Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs).

Topics covered in the segments

The articles on this page fall into a few recurring themes. Each links through to the full piece.

Metabolism and weight regulation

• Weight Set Point Theory. The idea that the body has a preferred weight range it maintains through hormonal regulation, metabolic adaptation and energy expenditure, with hormones such as leptin and ghrelin influencing appetite and metabolism. The article draws on evidence including the Minnesota Starvation Experiment.
• Metabolic flexibility. The body's ability to switch efficiently between burning carbohydrates and fats for energy depending on availability and need. The article covers why this matters for energy balance and how it can be improved through lifestyle choices.
• How to maximise your metabolism.

Sleep, stress and alcohol

• How sleep affects your metabolism. Sleep and metabolism are described as deeply intertwined, involving pathways relevant not only to cognitive performance but also to mood regulation and physical health.
• Why stress can contribute to abdominal weight gain. The article distinguishes moderate stress from chronic stress, noting that chronic stress can have more serious health implications.
• Alcohol and health, plus a companion piece on ongoing alcohol-related research.

Diabetes and diet

• How food can be linked to a diabetes diagnosis. The article describes type 2 diabetes as one of Australia's biggest health challenges, stating that 280 Australians develop diabetes daily, 85% of which are type 2 cases, and it points to early dietary and lifestyle intervention.
• Nutrition, exercise and Ozempic.

Food quality and protein

• Ultra-processed diets and weight gain. The article's argument is that not all calories are equivalent once you account for what people are actually eating.
• Daily protein needs. Covers how much protein you actually need, whether that changes with age, and how to get enough without overdoing it.
• Lying labels: food and health product information examined.
• The benefits of intermittent fasting.
• New research into obesity, covering the gut microbiome and faecal matter transplants.
• Inflammation and immunity.

How the food is described

Be Fit Food summarises its meals on this page with two lines: "Doctor & Dietitian - Scientifically Developed - Snap-Frozen - Nutritionally Balanced" and "Low-Carb - High Protein - Real Food Approach - 4-12 Veggies in Every Meal".

The specific figures behind those descriptions are the same for every meal:

• Approximately 250 calories
• At least 20g of protein
• Under 20g of carbohydrate
• Less than 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 on the stovetop.

The programs referenced across the segments

Several segments discuss fasting and metabolic reset. The corresponding Be Fit Food programs are:

• Be Rapid - very low calorie diet, approximately 800-900 calories per day, 7-day reset, induces mild nutritional ketosis.
• Metabolism Reset - very low calorie diet, approximately 850-950 calories per day with 40-70g carbohydrate, available as 7, 14 or 28 days, induces mild nutritional ketosis.
• Be 1000 - approximately 1000-1200 calories per day. Unlikely to induce ketosis.
• Be 1200 - approximately 1200-1500 calories per day, suited to an active lifestyle or HIIT. Unlikely to induce ketosis.
• Intermittent Fasting Program - four weeks, five days of healthy eating plus two fasting days at 500-600 calories, providing 16 meals and a pack of 8 protein balls.
• Be Maintenance - four weeks, 24 meals and 14 snacks, with two low-calorie days per week at approximately 800 calories.

Be 1000 and Be 1200 typically produce a loss of around 0.5-1.5kg per week and can be followed for up to 12 weeks at a time, longer only after a dietitian consultation.

Important health information

The segments and articles collected on this page are general nutrition education, not personal medical or dietary advice, and the research they discuss describes population-level findings rather than individual outcomes. Statistics quoted are those reported in the linked articles. Be Rapid and Metabolism Reset are very low calorie diets involving substantially reduced energy intake and are structured as defined short programs. If you have a diagnosed condition such as type 2 diabetes, take medication, or are considering a fasting or very low calorie approach, discuss it with a dietitian or your treating health professional before starting.

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.
