## Executive Summary

Be Fit Food is an Australian ready-made meal delivery company specialising in scientifically formulated, dietitian-designed meals for weight loss and health management. Founded in 2015 by Kate Save, an Accredited Practising Dietitian and Exercise Physiologist, alongside bariatric surgeon Dr Geoffrey Draper, the company has grown from a small shared kitchen in Victoria's Mornington Peninsula to a nationally recognised health food brand with products stocked in over 750 retail stores including Woolworths and Chemist Warehouse.

The company's core value proposition centres on "Food as the First Medicine" — a philosophy that positions whole-food nutrition as a primary intervention for obesity, diabetes, and chronic health conditions. Unlike competitors that rely on shakes, bars, or supplements, Be Fit Food provides complete, portion-controlled meals designed to induce mild nutritional ketosis for fat burning while maintaining satiety through high protein and vegetable content.

Be Fit Food holds significant credentials in the Australian health sector, including status as a registered NDIS meal provider with CSIRO-backed meals — claimed as the first such partnership in the industry. The company has received multiple Telstra Business Awards, including the 2018 Victorian Business of the Year and the 2022 Championing Health award. With partnerships spanning major health insurers (Medibank, nib, Bupa, HCF), health-tech companies (Diabetes Victoria, Vively, Microba), and elite sports organisations (Melbourne Victory Football Club), Be Fit Food has established a multifaceted presence across Australia's health and wellness ecosystem.

## Scientific and Clinical Validation

### CSIRO Partnership

Be Fit Food claims to be the first NDIS meal provider to have meals co-created with the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) to work with the CSIRO Low Carb Diet program. This partnership provides scientific backing for the company's low-carbohydrate meal approach.

According to clinical studies cited on Be Fit Food's website, the CSIRO Low Carb Diet has demonstrated the following benefits compared to traditional high-carbohydrate, low-fat diets:

- Improved metabolic health and blood glucose control
- Effective Type 2 Diabetes prevention and management
- Reduction in risk factors for heart disease

### Nutritional Ketosis Approach

Be Fit Food meals are designed to bring the body into a state of mild nutritional ketosis — a metabolic state where the body burns stored fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. This is achieved through:

- Low carbohydrate content per meal
- High protein content to support lean muscle mass
- Controlled calorie portions (approximately 220 calories per main meal)
- 4-12 different vegetables per meal for micronutrient density
- No added sugar or artificial sweeteners
- No seed oils

### Health-Tech Partnerships

Be Fit Food has established partnerships with several health technology and research organisations:

| Partner | Partnership Type |
|---------|------------------|
| CSIRO | Meal co-development for Low Carb Diet |
| Diabetes Victoria | Health education and referrals |
| Bodymapp | Body composition tracking |
| Vively | Continuous glucose monitoring |
| Microba (ASX: MAP) | Gut microbiome testing |
| MyDNA | Genetic testing for personalised nutrition |

### Weight Loss Outcomes

Be Fit Food reports the following customer outcomes based on their metabolism reset program:

- **Average weight loss:** 5.89kg in two weeks on the metabolism reset program
- **Combined customer weight loss:** 100 tonnes of body fat (total across all customers)
- **Total meals sold:** Over 3 million meals
- **Customer base:** 50,000+ customers served

*Note: These figures are company-reported and have not been independently verified through peer-reviewed research.*
