Low Fat Recipe Collection
This part of the site is a collection of low fat recipes.
What do I mean by "low fat recipes" ?
Well, some of these are designed to be part of a low fat diet, others are normal recipes converted to a low fat version by replacing the high fat ingredients with low fat alternatives.
We also have menu options for 'Low Carb recipes', 'Atkins recipes' and 'Healthy Recipes''. These low fat recipes can be combined with the others as part of a dietary regime.
Whether you choose low carb recipes, low fat recipes, or any of the others, is up to you.
The one thing they all have in common is that they can all be seen as weight loss or diet recipes in one form or another and used properly will improve your health in general.
These free low fat recipes have been split into loose food or ethnic categories, choose from
the categories listed to find the individual menu for that food type.
Low Fat Recipes may or may not be suitable
for Diabetics, or followers of the Atkins Diet - please check the meal ingredients carefully and make your own best nutritional judgement based on the information in the recipe.

Low Fat Recipe Cookbook
If you want to lose fat, you need to create a 'caloric deficit'. That is, take in less calories from your food than you burn up by your daily living and exercise.
Obviously, you will lose fat (and weight) quicker if you reduce your energy intake and increase your exercise levels - but what is important is that you adopt a weight loss program that is sustainable in the long term. Some diets, like the low carb Atkins Diet, allow you to eat more fat and protein, whilst avoiding foods rich in carbs (carboydrates), like bread and pasta. Low fat diets reduce fat intake whilst introducing more complex carbs. Other diets just focus on reducing calories in general, balancing low fat and low carbs and allowing foods like bread and pasta in moderation as long as they are part of healthy recipes. The popularity of the Atkins diet has lead to a wealth of healthy low carb and low fat foods which can make this easier. It is now easy to buy low fat bread, low fat and low carb pasta and low fat spreads and butter substitutes.
Which should you follow, low fat, low carb, Atkins or what? Well it depends on your health and lifestyle, for example, following a high fat and high protein diet is not usually advisable for diabetics, and vegetarians may struggle given the amount of chicken and lean meats usually required.
Whichever diet cookbook you are following, the important thing to remember is that these are all just different methods of creating a calorie gap.
