Low-carb diets

Have you used an air fryer for low carb/paleo?

I'm getting one of these today and I'm starting paleo tomorrow so I'd love to know any recommendations for compliant meal ideas please.

If you're doing low carb then you should really not be doing low fat, which is what an air fryer is!

Not really. It's only lower fat than deep frying, which I never do. It doesn't remove fat from the food it cooks!

I want to use it instead of steaming and oven cooking, hoping it will be more juicy and tasty. Also if I add some oil to it the food will actually contain more fat than if I had steamed or oven cooked it
