Just looked at diet doctor for some recipe ideas and there are loads of Keto recipes
Are these low carb or is Keto something different?
 
Keto and LCHF have the same foundation. The only real differences are the amount of carbs per day and whether or not your aim is to be in full ketosis all the time. A lower carb diet is considered to be anything below roughly 130g of carbs per day whereas the general consensus for Keto is less than 20g carbs per day though some would say less than 25g per day. Hope this clarifies for you.

It does thank you.
So I can use the Keto recipes to help with low carb.
No idea what Ketosis is so no idea if I’m in it or not.
Just want to reduce my carb intake more so just wanted ideas.
Thanks

Aye, you can depend on the recipes at the Dietdoctor website to be very low in carbs and very tasty to boot.

Ketosis means you are basically metabolising your own bodys fat stores into usable energy and using healthy dietary fat for energy instead of getting energy from carbs you have just eaten.
