Free Diet Recipes

I never would have guessed I'd be creating a recipe website - let alone a diet recipe website...anyway here's how it happened and whey all the recipes here (about 30 000 of them!) are all free.

I'm hot hugely overweight and don't really need to go on a diet as such, it's just a beer belly and I'll lose that easily simply by stopping drinking beer. Yeah - like that's  ever gonna happen! Being a single guy I live on the time honored bachelors diet of beer and take outs which I know isn't the healthiest, but cooking for one is just such a schlep even though I really enjoy cooking so I decided to find some good diet recipes that weren't too bland or boring and would be quick and easy to throw together.

I spent a lot of time on health sites researching healthy diet recipes, but so many sites only offered a few free recipes and then wanted me to buy a subscription or a CD or something to get the rest which kinda pissed me off. Anyway after quite a long while I had a pretty large collection of recipes that were supposed to be good for weight loss and getting in shape. Not a huge amount - like I said, I only wanted to drop a few pounds off of my belly not go on a hard core crash diet living on lettuce leaves and water! So many of the "real" diet sites out there focus on recipes that are intended for really fat people wanting to shed a LOT of weight so I battled to find dishes that weren't fattening yet also weren't your classic bland, overly healthy dieters meals (you know what I'm talking bout :-)

My Diet Recipes Website :-)

Anyway - apart from my own collection, I managed to get my hands on a couple of databases of other recipes...some that are great for dieting people, some not so good and some for people with very specific dietary needs (gluten free, vegetarians and stuff like that..) but I didn't realize just how many recipes I had collected and just how many types of diets they would be useful for. When I finally got around to counting them, I realized that it would be a great idea to throw up a quick website and share them all.

Luckily I have done a few sites in the past and I can create a reasonable site by myself without having to pay a fortune, so I registered this domain and Free Healthy Diet Recipes was born :-)

I did it over a weekend and I know it isn't perfect, but I'll carry on working on it as I get the time (hey it's not like I'm charging or making money from these diet recipes!) I'll stick a few ads on the pages which may pay for a few beers a month (ironically, drinking beer is the reason for creating this site in the long run..) but if you ignore those you can select from thousands of recipes and only print out the ones that suit your diet

Bon apetite
