ANYONE ELSE ADDICTED TO CHEESE?
-Does the pope wear a funny hat?
I friggin love cheese but found it not only wasted my calories but was binding. You get a little older and regularity moves up the list of things you love. So I gave it up. After a while I didn't miss it.
Give yourself some time without it and you may lose the craving. Another helpful approach might be to watch a video on how they make cheese, or at least used to. It involved taking spoiled milk and pouring it into the internal organs of farm animals. After it turns into something more disgusting than vomit, with time it becomes cheese.
There's a reason they call it cheese. Did that help?0 -
Dolcellate, Danish Blue, Gouda, Mild Cheddar, Colliers Cheddar, WEndsleydale, Brie, Camonbert, Smoked Austrian, Applewood smoked Cheddar, Huloumi, Feta, Dairylea, Parmesan, STILTON, Shropshire Blue, Gorgonzola, Red Leicester,Double Gloucester...hmmmmmmm cheeeeese *dribbling now*
Don't like cheese with fruit in much though..or marmite. Although I do like fruit and cheese and marmite :drinker:0 -

Is it milk products in general, or have you tried goat cheese? Some people are allergic to cow milk, but have no probems with goat milk.
If you are lactose intolerant, harder cheeses are normally better. That's because the lactose comes away in the whey, which is left-overs after making cheese. If it's the fat, I would recommend having a good look at your entire diet. If cheese is a large source of fat, you may be reacting to the fat, not the milk. Try to avoid other types of fat, and eat cheese for a few days, then try to get as much fat from other things, and avoid cheese for a few days - and see what happens.
Personally, I tolerate fat much better after I cut processed carbs out of my diet. It's all about figuring out what makes you feel better.
And if it is really cheese that's the problem, then you have my deepest sympathy, and best wishes in the hunt for a new favourite food.0 -
I love cheese. Queso has been the hardest for me to resist and I work around it.
Yeah yeah... cheese whatever... Um, is that Joe Manganiello with you in your profile picture? F cheese, I want some of THAT!!0 -
I LOVE cheese and will never give it up! I definitely have cut back on how often I eat it though and will try and get my fix with the Laughing Cow cheese as I do like it (but it's just not the same!)0

OMG! I LOVE Cheese. I'm the same...I would put it on everything if I could. I miss it......0

OH GOD.
Yeah, hahaha that definately did XD
HOW NASTTYYY0 -
I stopped buying blocks of cheese because I would cut off too big of chunks and eat it plain. Really dense in calories which is bad, even though I'm 23 I found out I have high cholesterol (its heredity...but still, I need to watch fat intake).
I buy finely shredded cheese and use it lightly or I use laughing cow cheese wedges. :-) I still eat cheese, just smaller portions.0 -

I think you're referring to the use of rennet, which can be derived from stomach lining. It can be animal or not in origin. As a vegetarian, I always try to buy cheese that has NON animal rennet sources, if I buy it at all. So, you can get around that.0 -
I am from Wisconsin....I am SERIOUSLY addicted to cheese!0

I was going straight for the scare tactic. Cheap but sometimes effective.0 -
When I was younger, I ate it all the time. I would fold the Kraft cheeses into little pieces and eat it like a mouse before dinner lol0

I need support and ideas to help me cut down
I'm sort of lactose intolerant? Like if I eat fatty dairy products I get really bad stomach problems... so I need to cut down
But.
Seriously. If I could put cheese on everything I would. It's bad. How do I cope??
I know what you are going through - I love cheese too.
Ignore it and it will go away. Eventually your cravings for cheese will diminish in time. If you look at your cravings you might find its the salt or the diary fat that you are craving. Also, if you are intolerant to cheese, then focusing on how bloated it makes you feel while you are craving it might be an effective strategy.
Most cheese is very energy dense. So, if you find yourself being tempted at the supermarket, scan the barcode of the cheese product (if it has one) to get an idea of fat content and calories. For me, that's enough to want to go without.
Try incorporating recipes that do not require cheese. And if you don't have cheese at home, you'll probably be less inclined to eat it.
All the best,

If part of your motivation for being vegetarian is animal welfare, then you may wish to review your consumption of diary including non-animal-based-rennet cheese. There is a dark side to the diary industry that involves the disposal of the unwanted by-product of male calves, that, in this country, get sent to the slaughterhouse to be processed as veal. And I imagine its the same in the US and other western countries.0 -
I will not give up cheese. It's the #1 thing that will prevent me from being vegan.
Fortunately, mozzarella is probably my favorite type of cheese, & it's one of the lowest in fat & cals.
If you switch a little bit to the type of cheese you eat & the quantity in moderation, it's not so bad. I usually just buy lots of mozzarella to cook with, & 1 or 2 types of fancy gourmet cheeses to much on here & there some nights. If you buy quality cheese you'll find you consume less amounts & are satisfied more.
I try to keep my cheese intake to under 3oz a day. There have been times in my past that I went through a whole pound. That's when I'd try to not eat cheese at all, & then after a couple of weeks I'd break & go on a binge. Learned not to do that anymore.0 -
mmmmmm cheese.. tastes so good..... i usually stick to my 30 grams every other day and also feta cheese has less calories... i wouldnt cut it all out because then you will just go on a binge... a cheese binge.. lol0
-
I love cheese too! Since counting calories I've only been eating feta (1 ounce) or grated parmesan (1-2 TB). I do full fat feta. Just tastes better to me.
Parmesan for omlets.
Feta for omlets or salads or with 3 olives.
Too scared to check the calories of other kinds.
Cheese & crackers - let's not even go there.0 -
Hi, my name is Alicia, and I'm a Cheese-o-holic.
It's been approximately 29 years since I was cheese-free... and the exact year depends on how early my mom started me on solid food as a baby.
I will never live without cheese. I would be so sad.
^this - except insert my name and the number 46 in place of the 29!0 -
I can't be trusted with cheese, I'll knock of a 12 pack of string cheese in a couple of hours. Cheese is one of my favourite foods ever!!0
-
Brie...goat cheese...Manchego...cheddar...Jarlesburg....Bleu....any cheese...and wine....my 2 big downfalls. I've found some lowfat versions, but mostly I just find a way to work it in (lowfat or not).0
-
I am so addicted to cheese that I sit down with a brick of cheddar cheese and slice off pieces and eat them while I watch TV. I did not think this was a problem until I realized how many calories are in just 1 oz. YIKES!0
-
Well I thought the morning breakfast muffin at Subway on light whole wheat bread tasted good with the egg whites and cheese. then I realized it was over my calorie allowance for my "1st breakfast" so I brainstormed and tried the following which tastes great to me. I have them put 3 sliced tomatoes and plenty of salt and pepper (no oil) before toasting...it keep the sandwich from being dry and the saltiness is what I figured the cheese was providing. Just an idea....not saying it's gonna taste or feel exactly like cheese but it will be saltier and less dry and less boring than plain. I actually like it better.0
-
I'm weirdly addicted to goat cheese. ****s delicious.0
-
I love cheese! The tilamook pepper-jack cheese is my favorite

I LOVE CHEESE OMG
of course it's the only dairy product other than skim milk that i'm not allergic to.0 -
ChiNESE maybe!
Not cheese though...0 -
So this might take some getting used to...but can you use other kinds of fat to flavor food? Like petso on pasta instead of grated cheese? And sliced avocado in salads in place of cheese? Hummus as a sandwich spread? Might give you some of the richness and flavor you crave without the problems you are describing.
Second this and also cheese made from tapioca, common brand is "daiya" but also now sold at Tjoe's as vegan cheese. Melts great. Looks weird when it melts, but is very gooey. Also love goat crumbles. no cow whey, lots of flavor in small amounts.0
