The high salt level in cheese here, makes me avoid it as much as possible. An buy some low salt options.
But yeah i miss really good old Amsterdam cheese ( its a bit like extra sharp cheddar, but riped so long that it is a "dry" cheese. It is much and much stronger)
Than bring on all the French cheeses..yummieeeee
yep i love cheese.....too much
I hear you, I am French and I am dying here...so little choice and what is available does not remotely compare to what we have in Europe. And when I find French cheese, I pay 8 time the price....A good piece of old Amsterdam...makes me dream

You don't need to give up cheese. Just fit it into your day.
^^^ This ^^^ I too, love cheese. So much so, I ate it in all three meals today. I was still under and I'm still losing. Eliminating/replacing foods is not a long-term solution. That is why there are so many fad diets and so many yo-yo dieters. You have to do what you are going to do for the rest of your life or you are setting yourself up for failure (AGAIN for many of us). Eat good tasting food. Just eat less of it than you used to and move more than you used to. It truly is as simple as calories in/calories out. Anyone is welcome to add me if you want to get an idea of what my diary looks like day-to-day.

Exactly.
Just use less and try different kinds.0 -
Instead of having cheese on pizza, I take a very savory hard cheese like Sartori Bellavitano Merlot and slice an ounce of it thinly, then put it on Sesmark flavored rice crackers and eat it. It's delicious, not calorie-expensive and satisfies my immediate need for tasty cheese. Pizza is an occasional cheat meal, not something I regularly eat.

I don't give up my cheese on pizza (what would be the point?), but there are ways I cut cheese down in other ways. My sodium intake tends to be low, and I generally dislike salty foods, so I think I crave cheese for the salt. I will do things such as add salsa or hot sauce to my eggs and to chicken/fish. It oddly satisfies that "salt" urge. I will also substitute greek yogurt for ricotta/cottage cheese in lasagna/pasta with no difference in taste (I add a little salt to it) and I season with garlic powder/fresh garlic. I save cheese for meals that I REALLY want it on, like chicken parm or pizza, and only substitute it for options that I do enjoy.0

I love cheese. I recently made a homemade pizza and when entering the shredded cheese I used, was totally astonished by the calories that were infront of my eyes. Does anyone possibly have a hint of what I could replace cheese with, because I am really not wanting to give up cheese. Thanks to all that reply.
I just eat it and make it work. There's no replacement for cheese for me. I eat it a couple times a day.

This. A bit of strong flavoured cheese goes a long way. Especially the blue cheese - yum!
The only lower fat cheese I can handle are low fat mozzarella and low fat soft cheese - probably because I was never a huge fan of the whole fat stuff - so don't mind the difference so much.
I no longer eat cheese daily - but when I do (a couple of times a week), I make it fit my calories and I do it properly (full fat, good size portion) and I enjoy every single second of eating it!0 -

Totally agree
But didn't want to offend anybody...lol I think what is here normal cheese is no cheese to me.
Something that looks like cheese, and taste a bit like it lol
And indeed the "special" cheeses here are crazy expensive.
But soon enough i make them myself again. Yummie garlic and herb cheeses etc.
Much cheaper. And i can control the salt intake.

I love cheese. It's a staple in my diet. As a rule, I stick with low- and no-fat cheeses because I'm not much of a gourmet, but if I have the opportunity to have fancy ones, I go for it.0

^^ Wise man. ^^
There have to be a couple things you just can't skimp on. Quality of life lol ... the cheese stays.0 -
I could never give up cheese. I just eat it less often and use portion control. I have a serving of sharp cheddar as a snack sometimes, it satisfies my craving for something salty as well.0

Mmmm, i love cheese also. I avoid it during the week and save it gor specual moments (so i can also save up my calories during the week).
Feeling a bit guilty for asking, but being ftom holland and still living there, what is cheese then if its not like european cheese? Is it more like the cheddar dlices we can place on a burger or what? I know in poland they have a lot of that kind of cheese, but i cant eat it if it isnt melted. So i am curious0 -
yes indeed cheddar is big here. And the variation is less than in Holland. Also the texture is different. You can get special cheeses here that are more the same. But you pay a lot for them.
En hallo Dutchie, zag dat het koud was in Holland

Cheddar is well not cheese..
And inderdaaf het was koud, maar we zitten boven de nul, de sneeuw is al weggesmolten en het blijft droog, dus ik ben content met dit winterseizoen!0 -
I eat cheese every single day. Multiple times. Don't give it up. Buy single servings.0

lol indeed thats why i said to me its not cheese here. I try to get the special ones and Parmasan is pretty good more like our Dutch cheese.
I buy small French cheeses ( i cant have much anyway too much salt in it)
And when we are in a specialty store i always look out for the cheese assortment and what they have.
But like i said time to make some myself again.

I never made my own, sounds nice and ofcourse opens up a world of options, like goat cheese and ofcourse herb cheese. God i got to stop thinking about cheese, im getting peckish

lol hehe
Yes indeed i made a lot of herb cheeses and cottage cheese.
I also make my own butters ( still) i just made a big batch of garlic/herb butter. My husbands favorite.0 -
Coming week i will make my own mayonnaise again too. But cheese i didn't get the rennet yet.
But i will...soon. 0 -
I actually prefer goat cheese on pizza and you can get low fat goat cheese as well. I find a little goes a long way so you don't use as much.0
