what is so bad about regular cheese?

Agree with the last couple posts. Also, if you have any lactose issues like I do, my NUT recommended ditching yogurt and cottage cheese as they have a lot of lactose, and going with the harder cheeses with less fat and less lactose. Parmesan, cheddar, mozzarella, Colby.

Yogurt can be a problem but is not always a problem.. if you're unsure, it's worth it to give it a shot.. different brands have different amounts of lactose.... or you can make it yourself and let it set for BF is lactose intolerant but never had a problem with the yogurt I make.

I eat the heck out of some cheese and only do the real stuff. I would not have been able to make it without being able to eat some cheese if I would have ended up having issues with it.

I also only eat full fat cheese. The calorie difference is hardly worth the taste difference. In fact, when I was banded almost 4 yrs ago, I quit eating lite everything. I eat full fat cheese, Peanut Butter, mayo, etc. I do use 1% milk cuz I really don't like full fat milk. Since I'm using so little, the 4-5 calorie difference isn't worth noting and it satiates me more.

I only eat organic cheese... Mostly goats cheese. I stick to 20-30g per serving

I eat real cheese. I don't touch chemical/over processed stuff (a.k.a 'American cheese')

Real cheese is better for you, try the organic cheese
