Giving up cheese

I have toyed with giving up cheese. Instead I gave up cheap cheese and any thing pretending it's cheese..like cottage cheese. One ounce of the real thing is a spectacular treat and because I make myself weigh it, I don't snarf the whole packet.
Don't give up things that you will always crave - do the moderation thing!!0 -
Cut down not out!0

If you don't want to cut it out of your diet completely, just eat low-fat or consume smaller portions. I love cheese, particularly camembert so if I'm seriously craving it, I'll eat some just to get rid of the craving. Providing you're eating at a calorie deficit, you should lose weight whether what you're eating is generally considered healthy or not. Nutritionally speaking, cheese is a good source of calcium but you can find that in other less fattening dairy sources.
You mention you have no self control. Is this relating to not being able to stop at a small quantity? If so going cold turkey might be a good option - I find it effective0 -
What is real cheese? I didn't know there was fake cheese.0

Drastic results call for drastic measures! Good for you! I fully understand how it is. Sometimes it is easier to to cut something out at all not to have temptation of wanting more. It's like that with me for chocolate. It's hard to stop with one peace when here is a whole lot left.
Don't buy it so it is not home sitting there and talking to you. One day you will eat it again and will feel OK about it.0 -
So many options these days! Individual wrapped is great. They are already the right amount and make it easy to NOT over indulge. Moderation is best, don't give up something you love

Cheese is gross. Once you stop eating it, you'll realize how disgusting it is. It just adds zero value to anything. It's a horrible food product. Its just a big giant glob of fat. Why would you put into your body that which you are trying to get rid of?
no offense but you don't understand food macros or nutrition
do you feel this way about milk?
cheese is made From milk0 -
One of my biggest tricks for substituting cheese is AVOCADO. When you put slices of avocado in your sandwiches or salad, the creaminess of it really imitates the creaminess of cheese or other dairy (like mayo). It's been a lifesaver, and it's really good. Just try it!0

Yeah , Don't cut it out completely , Just try to "Cut Back " Cheese has good Fats and protein !0

I could never give up cheese. Have you tried the Laughing Cow Baby Bell Lite cheese. That satisfies my chrese craving.0

All these dogs talking about cheese is freaking me out. How o hey even type on a keyboard is even more puzzling.0

No offense, but you did offend. Go eat some cheese, and gain some weight.0 -
I didn't say it caused cancer, but casein, the main protein in milk, has been shown to promote cancer growth in lab animals. The many epidemiological studies done on human populations show that higher consumption of dairy products and higher rates of certain types of cancer go hand in hand.
Wow, what a very well articulated argument. Good point, i'll be sure to consider that.Giving up cheese will be one of the best dietary decisions you have ever made. It does NOTHING positive for you, but it's physically addictive, fattening, cancer promoting, and causes constipation. There is no reason to ever eat it.
nonsense.
Please don't allow yourself to believe the lie that cheese is good for you. If you want to eat cheese, eat all you want, but don't delude yourself into thinking it is good for human health.
it does not cause cancer
it is not physically addicting
ONLY a caloric surplus will make you fat...not cheese because it is cheese
it will not cause constipation if your diet is balanced with fiber
it has great protein and required fat
it tastes great
if not overly processed fake cheese, it IS a healthy food
It IS physically addictive.
Milk is loaded with fat.
ANY food that does not contain fiber can lead to constipation.
Casein is not great protein, and animal fat is not required.
It tastes like a sweaty sock. You like it because you are addicted.0 -
It's amazing what people come up with these days. Confirmation bias can be found on the first page of google for just about anything, which translates into, a little information is dangerous.Giving up cheese will be one of the best dietary decisions you have ever made.

You can make an argument that anything is addictive. BUT I would like to see dopamine and serotonin levels before and after consumption of cheese. I highly doubt there would be enough of an increase to actually cause an addiction.0 -

Please stop! This is not helpful!0 -
Well I love it too, and haven't given it up. I did cut down though. I buy really good cheddar, and parmesan, and other hard cheeses; and I split up the pack and freeze it in chunks. That way, even if I'm inclined to binge, there's never more than a few ounces unfrozen. Then I just weigh it, every gram, every time. I'm getting much more relaxed about weighing lots of things now that I can make a reasonable estimate by eye (after five months!) but not cheese. I know that if I start eyeballing it my 25g serving will gradually slip. I also buy cream cheese, and I use that as a spread instead of butter quite a lot. You don't need much.0
