cheese

stewbloo

I have never restricted my fat or protein intake, only carbs (not counting those from veggies). Lost weight incredibly easily and never felt hungry once.

Quite true for myself too, I find that the fat/protein combo keeps me sated and I rarely feel like I'm missing carbs (although the fact that I usually start the day with porridge or wholemeal toast probably keeps any cravings at bay, lol!)

As for cheese ... I love it too, but best of all I love cheesecake. I clear the cheescake craving by mixing a 250gm tub of quark (high protein, zero fat soft cheese) with fruit and scoffing that.

I refuse to have anything off-limits, unless its mad made crap (Big Mac, etc...), and even then i'll have a burger once a while, cos' i do love my fries.

Same! I've learned the hard way that I can't swear off something I love completely!

So get out your food scale, and eat some cheese lol! Sorry. I'm no help!

But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Cheddar is the sun.
Arise, fair Stilton, and kill the envious Parmigiano-Reggiano ,
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou, her maid, art far more fair than cheese

The lady doth protest too much.

There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to cheese;
Omitted, all the brie & camembert of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full fat cheddar are we now afloat,
And we must take the mozzarella when it serves,
Or lose our cheese

I cant imagine life without extra sharp cheddar.

I love cheese, could never give it up. Laughing cow is great! Sargento has ultra thin mild cheddar slices that are only 45 cals ea if you want the real thing but in a smaller quantity.

saying that you will give up something forever is uhm well unrealistic. in my opinion this usually causes binges on whatever you "give up" if you wanna have it, just allot calories for it!
simple as that

i cant eat small amounts....thats my problem :-)

maybe you should learn some self discipline.

Cheese is my food porn

I sooo agree with you! Couldn't live without it! However it is disappointingly high in calories...

For me, I started off trying to cut it out completely because the amount of calories worried me, but now I work it in to my calorie goal because even a small amount of cheese is better than no cheese! I just savour it more :P

I love light Feta in my salads. I was buying low fat cheese for my recipes but I discovered it actually took more cheese to add the same depth and flavor that regular cheese gives which kind of defeats the purpose of buying a lower calorie version. Now I buy a good brand of sharp full fat cheese and I find I can use less without giving up on flavor.

I love cheese, but I eat it in moderation. I do like the kraft fat free cheddar cheese. But the reduced fat's aren't too bad either.

I love cheese, and would never give it up. I use sharp cheeses, like extra sharp cheddar, or feta. You don't need as much and get a ton of flavor. I do sometimes use reduced fat mozarella, but generally use full fat cheeses.
