    No. There are very few things that "slow down" weight loss as long as you are eating less calories than you burn.

    Fat is good for your body on any "diet" and as long as you are getting your fat from natural sources (no trans fat) and keeping your macronutrients in the proper ratio for you (fat/carbs/protein) you will be fine.

    I eat full fat cheese and dairy and I'm still losing. The key is measuring/weighing it. It's one of those foods it's easy to overestimate portion sizes. 1-2 ounces daily is good.

    I think that no particular food is going to SLOW down weight loss, as long as you are honest when you log it and stay within your allotted calories. I eat a slice of normal (full fat, organic) cheese every day in my lunch wrap. It is 70-80 calories and 6 grams of fat. The aged sharp cheddar I eat is 9 grams and the dang Haverti is 15 grams, so I avoid those, but the Monterey Jack or Swiss slices are only 6. Cheese is helpful to me in achieving my protein goals as well.
