Im told I should eat light cheese, however when I buy it once I have a piece I can not stay out of it? Why is this does anyone know? Would it be better if I just bought regular where I know I can contain cravings.

    Light cheese tastes terrible to me. I need the fat.

    Try regular extra sharp cheese...more flavor means you eat less. (IMHO)

    I'm confused. If you can't stay out of the light cheese, I'd guess it would probably be worse with regular cheese.

    But I personally ditched low fat cheese sometime last year.

    I dont think eating cheese is bad necessarily, and I use some reduced fat type cheeses in my life. Try to portion out your foods no matter what you eat though.
