Anyone else out there think that cheese and cheese products are nature's best gift? I try to limit eating to cheese to once a day, but in the past have been known to eat it in every meal. Any tips or advice for a cheese lover?

    Small quantities of quality cheese. Don't buy the crappy processed kind, buy expensive French stuff. You'll be less tempted to eat loads of it since it isn't cheap!

    Love cheese. Love it. Have been eating string cheese and reduced fat colby cheese stick snacks as an alternative to eating 3 lbs of cheese in one sitting, haha.

    Cheese and bread. Oh and wine too. Don't get me started...

    My sister & I joke about this all the time. We're originally from Wisconsin, which I think gives us a genetic disposition to be IN LOVE with cheese. My mom keeps probably 10 different dairy products in her home ranging from butter to whole milk to string cheese to mozzarella and everything in between. What helped me was limiting what I keep in my own fridge. Also, turning cheese into the dessert of the day is helpful, too. I like to take 3 or 4 crackers and spread Laughing Cow cheese on them after dessert. It's not easy breaking the addiction to cheese - BELIEVE ME. I also noticed that if I limit my cheese intake, I tend to enjoy it more when I have it.

    Limiting portions and availability are my two biggest recommendations. Stay strong, fellow cheese lover :-)

    Have you tried the Light Laughing Cow cheese? They come in these cute, little wedges and they are only 35 calories. They have different flavors, too. They're pretty much amazing!

    I'm a cheese junkie myself. But I've learned to eat healthier versions of it like cheese sticks that are part skim. I also add a little feta to an omelet that is loaded with spinach so I'm getting those greens in.

    Laughing cow cheese, Light string cheese, cheese cubes... I love cheese too. But I save it for when I really want summthin cheesy. Like crakers and cheese or a grilled cheese. I quit adding it to sandwiches and salads and I havent missed it.

    I love cheese - I try to add a little to at least two meals a day. The calicum overrides my fear of the calories. I make substitutions or sacrifices for it. I've found that I get more satisfaction out of stronger cheeses - a nice sharp cheddar or provolone hits the spot better than just plain American.

    I may try Laughing Cow or string cheese the next time I go to the grocery store - I've cut back a lot on sugar, bread, and soda - I'm not losing my cheese.

    CHEESE!!! Yum.....

    This is going to sound strange but I make sure I eat my cheese by itself. I don't put it in meals because I don't get to fully enjoy it. I'm strange, I know

    It is my complete and total downfall! Part of it is the salty taste, part of it is just pure pleasure. I am like one of the other commenters, I have to limit what I have in my refrigerator or its all gone! Oddly enough, I lose more weight if I don't eat cheese, LOL! Wonder why?

    Also baby bel wheels are a good quick fix, good portion size.

    I'm a huge cheese fan. A person has to make sure it is the real cheese and eat it in moderation. (Hard to do sometimes... LOL) I get the String Cheese - 2 sticks 160 calories and minimumal on salt.

    I made a souffle with egg whites, evaporated fat free milk, light sour cream and 75% reduced fat cheddar and it was really yummy.

    I love cheese, but I try to keep it to just once in awhile. If we have a little extra money we buy a wedge of brie, robiola, prima donna, etc. Mmm...
