Jesm1029 101 Posted September 6, 2016 Could cheese slow or possibly stall weight loss i eat cheese on everything and love it its low fat but still anyone have to give up cheese? Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted September 6, 2016 cheese is extremely calorie-dense. Are you weighing the cheese you eat and counting the calories, staying within a strict calorie range for the day? If not, yes, cheese can definitely slow or stall your weight loss. You could be adding multiple hundreds of calories to your daily intake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted September 6, 2016 I eat cheese' all day long. Full fat cheese. YUUUMMMMM... I do eat extremely low carb but I don't care about fat and calories too much. I spend a small fortune every month at Wegmans because their cheese' counter is to die for.The richer the cheese', the better. I can't eat much, so I can afford it. It didn't stall my weight loss at all!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristenLe 5,979 Posted September 6, 2016 @@Jesm1029 It depends on what type of cheese - some have higher carbs than others (and low-fat doesn't always mean better for you on a low carb/high Protein diet). It also really depends on what you are putting the cheese on. How many carbs / calories are you getting? How much Protein? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaMergs 2,854 Posted September 6, 2016 What @@LipstickLady said. I'm the same. Exactly. As for cheese types- the lighter in color the better it is for you. Skip the low fat crap. It you're adding shredded mozzarella to the top of your food, use the regular stuff. Fact is, you can't eat that much of anything (I hope??!), so a bit of cheese shouldn't be an issue. If you're melting a ton of velveta cheese PRODUCT, well now, that's not really cheese, I would say. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

o00 494 Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) I don't eat cheese on a daily basis. As much as I love it. I will eat it when i entertain. I am concerned about its saturated fat content after watching shows like my 600lb life, Supersize vs Superskinny and Fat Doctor. So these days cheese is a treat.

KristenLe 5,979 Posted September 6, 2016 @@Jesm1029 I don't think it's the cheese. If you're exercising alot - try increasing Protein and be sure you are getting plenty of fluids. Change up your exercise every now and then too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted September 6, 2016 cheese will bind you, for sure. Gotta get some Fiber in, too, or you are in trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ocgirl15 667 Posted September 7, 2016 I have ate full fat cheese since I was cleared for any food. I also eat it at least daily. I lost my weight pretty fast (normal BMI by 8 months out). I am also eating cheese during maintenance with no issues. Carbs on the other hand can stall my weight loss... Now they have have stopped my loss (which is good since I don't want to loose to much more) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheese adds up in calories quickly and that could definitely stall weight. Personally I couldn't live without it. I eat 2 baby-bel cheeses a day!
