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.

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!!

@@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?

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.

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.

Horreychit.........a cup of cheese a day would lock my system up tighter'n Fort freakin Knox.

I'd never be able to have a BM.

Damn......just damn.

I love the hell outa some cheese. I almost can't control myself with some proper swiss dipped in hot sauce (yes....I'm freaky that way).......but I have to slow my roll......cheese and nuts are on my "limited amounts" list.

In fact.....when I think about it.....damn near everything is on my "limited amounts" list......except for Water, coffee, air and exercise.

@@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.

[LipstickLady 25,682]

cheese will bind you, for sure. Gotta get some Fiber in, too, or you are in trouble.

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)

If I didn't eat cheese, (its one of the foods I actually enjoy) I would never eat enough calories.

Yeah I definitely agree with this. 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!
