To Dairy or not to Dairy?
Right now my dairy consists of:
1 TBSP heavy whipping cream in coffee
(plus whipped whipped cream on top some days)
1oz cheddar on breakfast scramble
sometimes 1 oz cheddar in salad
cream cheese for snacks/desserts

I won't cut it out until my groceries are eaten, so it would be next week I would start "dairy free" if it Is recommended. Sadly, it's one of my only "treats".

    If you aren't stalling, then I would say keep the dairy!

    I was stalled and switched over to raw unpasteurized unhomogenized cream and Kerry Gold cultured grass feed butter, and my weight is coming off at a very steady pace. Before hand it wasn't moving or going up and down up and down. I feel a zillion times better too.. I have also added psyllium husk fiber and that also helped as well. I don't even count the carbs in it and I'm still in ketosis and some days I take up to 50 grams. I read it doesn't absorb or is digested like food.. It helps pull toxins from your body as well..

    Like you I'm wondering if dairy is an issue. For the last 2 days I've been dairy free, using coconut milk instead of HWC in my coffee and not eating cheese. I did eat a bit of butter, to be honest I forgot it was dairy lol. I haven't noticed a difference as of yet,but Im going to give it a few days & see how it goes.

    Let me know how it goes please!
    I do really like my dairy and I don't feel I am having THAT much of it to make a difference. I did 5 wks of KETO and lost 10 lbs (when nothing else worked). Cheated ONE weekend and now I'm back at square one again. Such is life

    For me it depends on the dairy. Cheese causes allergy symptoms (itchy eyes, ears, sneezing and a sore throat) but I don't have any problems with butter or ghee. I seem also to be okay with some cream each day. I'm wondering if it's the moulds/fermentation in the cheese rather than the dairy itself for me.

    I did go dairy free for about six weeks and the weight came off much faster.

    Well a week with very little dairy, other than a bit of cheese, and I saw no real difference. I'm back using HWC and cheese. Why deprive myself if its not going to change anything.

    I agree - I cut the cheese out of my morning breakfast scramble and a few other places - cut back on dairy...I'm just trying to limit it to improve my skin too. BUT ITS SO GOOD LOL
