Question 1

Is everything free to browse?

Accepted Answer

Yes — all of Keep Your Diet Real is free, with no account or subscription. There is nothing to buy here and no plan to sign up for. The site is funded by advertising.

Question 2

What makes a recipe "real" enough for Keep Your Diet Real?

Accepted Answer

Two tests. It has to be something you would choose to eat rather than tolerate, and it has to be makeable on an ordinary weeknight — normal ingredients, normal portions, no afternoon of prep. Food that only works when you are highly motivated is not food that lasts.

Question 3

Do you publish calorie and macro figures?

Accepted Answer

Only where we have them, and they are estimates calculated from the ingredient list rather than lab measurements. Real numbers shift with brands, cuts of meat, and how generously you actually serve, so treat any figure here as a rough guide and weigh your own portions if you need precision.

Question 4

Is any of this medical or dietary advice?

Accepted Answer

No. This is a recipe site, not a clinical one. Nothing here is personalised advice, and if you are managing a medical condition, pregnancy, an eating disorder, or a specific therapeutic diet, please work with a doctor or a registered dietitian rather than a website.

Question 5

Can I find recipes for a specific way of eating?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Filter by diet, main ingredient, meal, or total cooking time to get to the recipes that fit what you are doing, and use the collections when you want a shortlist rather than a full catalogue.

Question 6

How do I save recipes I want to come back to?

Accepted Answer

Tap the heart and it appears on your Favorites page. No account needed — favorites live in your own browser, so they are tied to that device and clearing your browser data clears them.

Question 7

How are recipes checked before they go live?

Accepted Answer

Each one is reviewed by hand — ingredients, quantities, steps, and timings — and nothing publishes automatically. Corrections reported by readers are dealt with the same day.

Question 8

Who runs Keep Your Diet Real?

Accepted Answer

Keep Your Diet Real is written and edited by James Potts, Founder & Recipe Editor. The About page has the longer version.
