BE FIT FOOD STEPS

Best practice guidelines recommend following a Very Low-Calorie Diet (VLCD) prior to weight loss surgery to achieve small-moderate amounts of weight loss, making surgery safer for you.



VLCD’s are commonly used in the form of meal replacement bars and shakes, however, our Be Rapid Program is nutritionally equivalent to these products. Usually, your surgeon would recommend following a VLCD prior to surgery, for a minimum of two weeks before.  

STEP 1: RAPID WEIGHT LOSS ˅STEP 2: GRADUAL WEIGHT LOSS ˅STEP 3: WEIGHT MAINTENANCE ˅STEP 4: HEALTHY LIVING ˅

Preoperative Diet

Be Rapid – Our VLCD program includes 3 meals and 2 snacks per day and is designed for rapid weight loss, with an average rate of weight loss 1-2.5kg per week. Our low carb, high protein meals are a great substitute or addition to meal replacement products throughout this phase.

Continue with step 1 or progress to step 2

you the clearance to commence a regular diet.

Once you are ready to start introducing your own meals, we recommend starting step 2. During this step we recommend 2 meals per day and snacks. Our dietitians can help you plan your breakfast so you can stay on track and continue to lose weight.

Build a bundle to suit your needs and lifestyle.

If you prefer to cook your own dinners, grab a 7 Breakfast Bundle, 7 Meals Bundle and snacks.

If you'd like to get 2 weeks of lunches and dinners, grab our 28 Meals bundle.

By step 3 you will be feeling more confident to start preparing your own meals. We suggest keeping to 1 Be Fit Food meal per day, as this will help the transition. Often, the hardest meal of the day is the one we recommend replacing. Continue to enjoy our high protein snacks. Our dietitians will help you with planning and preparing your own meals.
