My Nutritionist told me to add a little cheese on top of my veggies. I do well with it. I really haven't tried yogurt yet. So unless they dont agree with you, I would say go for it.src="http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wz7PEQQ/weight.png" border="0" alt="" /></p>

Why on Earth would you stay away? I love cheese and some yogurt. I have actually taken to Boursin, which although expensive) gives me no problem and tastes fantastic! Yes these things have fats, but fats are filling and cheese and yogurt has Protein. Enjoy- just in moderation.

I agree with ALS...why avoid these foods? cheese and yogurt have Calcium, and cheese is a solid Protein. Of course I would choose low/no-fat versions to keep the calorie count down, but sometimes a big piece of cheese is what I crave, and I have it as part of my meal, and sometimes a snack.< /p>

It's all good!

cheese is a source of Calcium, Protein and is easily digested. (Unless of course you are lactose intolerant) it will stay with you for a while and fight hunger. Yogurt is also an excellent source of calcium and protien. My surgeon recommends two full servings of dairy daily. I usually have yogurt or cottage cheese for Breakfast. Greek yogurt has even more protein than regular, and is naturally fat free. I eat Brown Cow brand. The live cultures in yogurt will also help with digestion, elimination, and intestinal balance. If you are having trouble with Constipation, it does help a little. I have also switched to Borden brand high protein 2% milk. I have one cup every day. A woman desperately needs calcium, so don't even consider giving up your dairy.
