Weight Loss Meals: Nutritionally Balanced Meals Delivered to You

Be Fit Food's ready-made weight loss programs are designed by a team of doctors and dietitians, for either rapid weight loss or weight maintenance. The programs are based on scientific evidence and are used by weight loss clinicians around the world. This page explains the split between the rapid and gradual options, and gives the calorie figures for each.

Rapid or gradual: the first decision

Be Fit Food divides its programs into two groups. The rapid group uses very low calorie diets that induce mild nutritional ketosis, allowing the body to burn stored fat rather than carbohydrate as fuel. The gradual group provides healthy, calorie-controlled, pre-prepared meals you keep in the freezer, for when you want more gradual weight loss.

The practical dividing line is ketosis. Be Rapid and Metabolism Reset induce mild nutritional ketosis. Be 1000 and Be 1200 are unlikely to induce ketosis.

Rapid weight loss programs

Be Rapid - 7 days

Be Rapid has been scientifically formulated by a doctor and team of dietitians. It is a very low calorie diet providing approximately 800-900 calories per day, run as a 7-day reset, and induces mild nutritional ketosis. The program gives you the food, resources and dietitian support to lose weight quickly through eating real, nutritionally balanced food.

Metabolism Reset - 7, 14 or 28 days

Metabolism Reset is a very low calorie diet at approximately 850-950 calories per day, with around 40-70g of carbohydrate per day. It also induces mild nutritional ketosis, and is available in 7, 14 or 28 day blocks.

Be Fit Food states that the 14-day Metabolism Reset program can help you achieve healthier skin, improved sleep, better gut health and higher energy levels, as well as losing 5kg. That 5kg figure is presented on Be Fit Food's page as an indicative result carrying a footnote, not a guarantee.

Gradual weight loss programs

Be 1000

The Be 1000 program provides approximately 1000-1200 calories per day and follows a low-carbohydrate, nutritionally complete approach. As Be Fit Food explains it, by reducing the carbohydrates in your diet you also reduce the amount of refined, processed and sugary foods you consume each day. It suits gradual weight loss or maintaining a loss you have already achieved, and is unlikely to induce ketosis.

Be 1200

Be 1200 provides approximately 1200-1500 calories per day and is suitable for gradual weight loss and weight management. It offers a more flexible eating approach while still providing nutritious meals and cutting out sugary, refined foods. It suits an active lifestyle or high-intensity interval training, and is unlikely to induce ketosis.

How fast is gradual, and how long can I stay on it?

Be 1000 and Be 1200 typically produce a loss of around 0.5-1.5kg per week. You can stay on either for up to 12 weeks at a time. Continuing beyond 12 weeks is appropriate only after a dietitian consultation.

Intermittent Fasting Program

The Intermittent Fasting Program runs over four weeks: five days of healthy eating each week plus two fasting days at 500-600 calories. It provides 8 days of food in total, made up of 16 meals covering lunch and dinner, plus a pack of 8 protein balls.

Be Maintenance

Be Maintenance runs for four weeks and provides 24 meals and 14 snacks, with two low-calorie days per week at approximately 800 calories (60-70g protein, 50-70g carbohydrate). It is based on Dr Michael Mosley's "The Fast 800" and "The New 5:2 Diet".

What is in every meal

The meal specification is the same across all programs, which is what makes the calorie targets reliable:

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

Buying meals without a program

Meal bundles are $97.30 for 7 meals, $189.00 for 14 meals and $362.60 for 28 meals (AUD). Delivery is a flat rate Australia-wide: $11.95 on orders of $299 or more, $19.95 on orders under $299.

Dietitian support

Be Fit Food employs Accredited Practising Dietitians and offers a free 15-minute telehealth consultation, by video or phone, valued at $49. No referral is needed.

Important health information

Weight loss figures quoted for these programs, including the 5kg associated with the 14-day Metabolism Reset, are indicative and carry a footnote on Be Fit Food's page; results vary between individuals. Be Rapid and Metabolism Reset are very low calorie diets involving substantially reduced energy intake and are structured as defined short programs. Be 1000 and Be 1200 should be followed for a maximum of 12 weeks at a time, with longer use only after a dietitian consultation. If you have a health condition, take medication, or are unsure which program is appropriate, speak with a dietitian or your treating health professional before starting.
