Cheese Fat Free , Low Fat Or Regular?



Recommended Posts

I went to try melted cheese for the first tome today, purchased the fat Free mozz and cheddar....nothing cheezy about it, didn't even melt properly.

What are you guys using?

I am over 2 months out and my fav is sharp cheddar (regular). Some may disagree but it works for me. I dont melt it but I slice it and eat it for a snack.< /p>

Melted cheese doesn't go over too well on me....So, I usually stick to low fat sharp cheddar, or low fat colby...I just eat it as a snack....the sargento cheese sticks are my fav!

I eat the low-fat. The non-fat tastes like plastic and the full fat is too greasy for me. Low fat is juuussst right!

Considering that I eat so little, I go with regular cheese. Manufacturers put so much junk into foods to make up for the loss of taste when the fat is lowered/removed. If you are going to melt cheese, go with the regular. I grew up on low-fat/non-fat cheese and it always reminded me of melted plastic.

Melted plastic is exactly what it reminds me of!

I'm going for the low Fat to snack and regular to melt...I only consume a very small amount melted so the taste would help

Just remember yellow cheeses have a higher fat content.

I eat full fat cheese too except for the Baby Bell Light and the Laughing Cow wedge. Those I like. All other cheeses are regular and I eat a huge variety of it from Wednesleydale to Havarti to sharp cheddar. The best melting cheddar is Longhorn and sometimes hard to find.

My NUT told us that we shouldn't be using fat free anything because they usually compensate with a lot of sugar. I've done low fat cheeses and they melt pretty good.

Low fat as far as mozzarella but regular with all the rest, I am only eating a ounce at a time so I want the good stuff!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
