Which Be Fit Food Program Is Best for Me?

Be Fit Food runs six named programs. They differ mainly in daily calorie level, program length, and whether they are designed to put the body into mild nutritional ketosis. This page sets out the figures side by side so you can narrow the choice before booking a dietitian consultation.

The quick answer by goal

• Fastest reset, one week: Be Rapid — approximately 800–900 calories per day over 7 days.
• A longer reset with a choice of length: Metabolism Reset — approximately 850–950 calories per day, available as 7, 14 or 28 days.
• Steady loss you can sustain: Be 1000 — approximately 1000–1200 calories per day.
• Slower loss while training or staying active: Be 1200 — approximately 1200–1500 calories per day.
• Fasting two days a week, eating normally the rest: Intermittent Fasting Program — 4 weeks.
• Holding a loss you have already made: Be Maintenance — 4 weeks.

The very low calorie programs

Be Rapid

Be Rapid is a very low calorie diet (VLCD) providing roughly 800–900 calories per day. It runs as a 7-day reset and is designed to induce mild nutritional ketosis, the state in which the body draws on stored fat for fuel rather than carbohydrate.

Metabolism Reset

Metabolism Reset is also a VLCD, at roughly 850–950 calories per day with 40–70g of carbohydrate per day. It is offered in 7, 14 or 28 day lengths, so it covers everything from a short reset to a four-week block. Like Be Rapid, it induces mild nutritional ketosis.

How do I choose between them?

The two sit at a similar calorie level. The practical difference is duration and carbohydrate allowance: Be Rapid is fixed at 7 days, while Metabolism Reset gives you 7, 14 or 28 days and specifies a 40–70g daily carbohydrate range. If you want more than a week at VLCD level, Metabolism Reset is the program built for it.

The gradual loss and management programs

Be 1000

Be 1000 supplies approximately 1000–1200 calories per day. It suits gradual weight loss, or maintaining a loss you have already achieved. It is unlikely to induce ketosis.

Be 1200

Be 1200 supplies approximately 1200–1500 calories per day. It is aimed at slower weight loss combined with weight management, and is the program suited to an active lifestyle including HIIT training. It is also unlikely to induce ketosis.

How much will I lose and how long can I stay on them?

On Be 1000 and Be 1200, the expected rate of loss is approximately 0.5–1.5kg per week. Either program can be followed for up to 12 weeks at a time. Staying on longer than 12 weeks should only be done after a dietitian consultation.

The fasting-based programs

Intermittent Fasting Program

This program runs over 4 weeks. Each week you eat healthily for 5 days and fast for 2 days at 500–600 calories. Because you only need food for the fasting days, the program supplies 8 days of food in total: 16 meals covering lunch and dinner, plus a pack of 8 protein balls.

Be Maintenance

Be Maintenance also runs over 4 weeks and includes 24 meals and 14 snacks. It uses two low-calorie days per week at approximately 800 calories, made up of 60–70g of protein and 50–70g of carbohydrate. The structure is based on Dr Michael Mosley's "The Fast 800" and "The New 5:2 Diet".

What every program has in common

Whichever program you pick, the meals are built to the same specification: approximately 250 calories, at least 20g of protein, under 20g of carbohydrate, and under 120mg of sodium per 100g. There is no added sugar, no artificial sweeteners and no preservatives. Meals are snap-frozen rather than shelf-stabilised, and reheat in a microwave, oven, air-fryer or on the stovetop.

Meals can also be filtered by dietary preference — gluten free, high protein, vegetarian, keto, low calorie and low carb — so a dietary requirement does not by itself rule a program out.

Cost and delivery

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, and $19.95 on orders under $299.

Important health information

Before starting a new way of eating, seek medical advice and undertake a medical check-up, particularly if you have a medical condition and/or are taking medications. Individual results vary. Very low calorie programs in particular should be discussed with a dietitian or your treating doctor before you begin.
