Cheese?

I see different opinions about cheeses, with some saying that, regardless of the fact some don't bring carbs at all it is not advisable to have more than a couple oz per day? Can I ask if that's the general consensus and why would that be?
I use babybels as snacks during the day and one of my main recipes is cheese spinach, where I put mozzarella, edam and grated grana alltogether with the spinach, so if cheese is an issue I have clearly done wrong for weeks without knowing it :(

    I eat a lot of cheese but always choose those that have more fat than proteins ( cheese here has usually 25g of both fat and proteins per 100 grams) . If it works for you then it's fine I guess.

    I saw one quick post about no cheese, and I wanted to die. I LOVE CHEESE!! And Im trying to do Keto, and I have been eating a TON of cheese. For me, I have had no problems thus far.
    If you're sensitive to dairy, then have less, but I wouldn't NOT eat cheese. Ever. Ever ever ever ever!!!!
    I was on a "diet" once that limited me to only having about 1 slice of processed cheese a day. What a horrible few months that was.
    I eat cheese every single day now on Keto. I eat cheese wrapped in mother flippin bacon each day.
    I eat full fat cheese, and I love it.
    Eat cheese.
    Did I mention I love cheese?

    Dairy is a YMMV (Your Miles May Vary) item. If you see slow progress, it's one of those items you can / should tweak / reduce to see if that "fixes" your issue. Same with sweeteners and nuts. For some people, these can cause stalls.

    If dairy is working for you, don't worry about it.

    Try to develop a love for fattier cheeses like Camembert, Brie or Havarti. These are my goto snack when out and about. Plus I love the looks I get in public when munching on a wedge of Brie without spreading it on a cracker! :)

    I am a real cheese addict, but noticed when I eat too much, my weight stalls. I found something about it in this article:

    http://authoritynutrition.com/15-reasons-not-losing-weight-on-a-low-carb-diet/

    Still I am not going to give completally up on it! Mostly I just makes a few cheese crisps or use it when I make meatza.
