    Yes it is. Low fat or non fat is about a 1/3 calories than regular cheese 3/3. Fat does not convert into glucose. Too much glucose from simple carbs and complex carbs can trigger your pancreas to store fat. Then your body has to convert it back when it could be doing something else. Combined well with other foods makes it good eats and the right amount for mental functions. I read somewhere that calcium can clear away fat. Not quite sure on that one.

    Example President fat free feta is only 43 cals per 1 oz. That's a decent chunk of cheese. Great on my meditranian spinach salad. Mmmmm.

    I heard that too. I watched a documentary not that long ago where a scientist was saying that a high level of low fat dairy can stop your body absorbing as much fat.

    What do you cook with all that??? It is insane looking at the food list, because mine is maybe half as long.

    I'm intrigued by the 1/2 potato.... where do you BUY half a potato, and what on earth do you do with it - make tiny wee portions of fries to go with the HUGE steak, lol?!

    I eat all day long. I eat 6X a day and rarely go over my -500 cal recomended for weight loss. I slipped up yesterday. Yesterday was the first day that I was hungy in 9 weeks. Back on track today.

    I cook stuff like:

    Stuffed red peppers
    3 different types of Omletes
    Spinach salads. Love my spinach. 1 a day. Usually lunch
    shrimp, chicken or turkey stir fry. Use 1/2 yokisobi noodle pouch
    Turkey meatballs 1 oz just cover in sauce and non fat mozzarella. One of my fave snacks.

    Just to name a few.

    I must look out for that feta! I also cook stuffed peppers and lots of types of omelettes so this is interesting reading. Especially as I've been tending to avoid cheese

    The package will say non fat or fat free. They are a bit hard to find. Proteins, Carbs and Fats. Carbs unless used in high energy exercises store fat. I use different foods for different situations.

    I'd replace all the cheese with about 1/4 the amount of proper full fat tasty cheese :)

    This will last me a week. But, since it's hard to find the specific sizes I have to buy and seal for later or one day get creative. It happens all the time. That how I just created my stuffed pepper. Did in a Pasilla today instead of a Red. Some reason the stuffed peppers tend to suppress my appitite. Don't know why. So I skipped my after lunch snack today and had Carl's Jr. for dinner

    It's all about choices. I don't even know what your fatty cheese tastes like. Fat?

    I'm such a fan of cheese.... but lactose intolerant. Ive tried some soy cheeses, etc. before... and it's just not the same. So, in my case.... I can't eat a whole lot of cheese - some - a little... would you replace the cheese factor (which would be a hilarious name for a reality show about making cheese or something) with extra meat, extra veg... or a 50/50 combination of both meat & veg to even out?

    I don't think I could go long without cheese. I eat a fair bit of dairy in cottage cheese, skimmed milk, low fat cream cheese, fat free greek yogurt and occasionally blue cheese - major YUM!

    The link is going on about the thing I was talking about in that documentary. Made my day!

    I am a WI girl through and through, there is no such thing as too much cheese. :happy: I have found that I can enjoy some cheeses in the reduced fat or fat free form but there are those that I just cut back on the serving and enjoy as their were meant to be.

    I'm impressed by your fresh produce list, I really need to work on getting more fresh veggies and fruit into my diet.

    When it comes to vegitables, I eat as much as I want. It is the filler in my meals. I eat at least 1 to 2 cups per meal. I am in the gym a lot, so I need the protein for muscle construction. There is a diet that I have learned about here. It is has like 65% fat in it. Don't know much about it, but I think that it is for people who don't work out. Start a blog on it in the message boards. I'm sure you will get a ton of responses.

    Vegitables are awsome in the micronutriant erea. Your body needs them. The more green vegitables you eat the more your body will turn to an alkaline base Vs. a acid base. Disease can not live in a alkaline state, but thrives in an acid base body.

    Then how are you getting your vitamins. A pill? If not a pill than what. Do you know how many vitamins you need in a day for proper organ functions. These things are key in health and loosing weight.

    are you pills organic or man made. man made are tougher to assimulate. It's more fun eating them.
