"Susan Jones-Anderson" wrote in message ... I think that is what I am going to have to do - toss it. As flexible as my WOE really is in the big scheme of things Cheese is just something I'm going to have to reserve for very special occasions. I know I will miss it FAR more than I have ever missed potatoes or candy/sweets. :/ This is really going to limit my dairy because I don't drink alot of milk, I am allergic to yogurt and Ice-cream is just outta the question lol. I wonder if I should take a calcium supp if I can manage to quit the cheese. Maybe like a Tums per day or something. Susan 260/219/160 If you have any doubt about getting the needed calcium don't hesitate to take a supplement. It's very important not to lose bone density.

This makes far more sense! I love cheese too, but I save it for the occasional treat now. I do eat a lot of the fat-free stuff -- not the same as real cheese but better than nothing. I handle real cheese like I do most other "treat" foods. I don't bring it into the house, so I just eat it occasionally at restaurants or social events (like wine tastings). Chris |

wrote: That's a good observation but inaccurate in my case. When I say "good carbs" I mean complex carbs like whole wheat bread or oatmeal. Instead of potato chips, flour/breading on chicken, white bread, pasta etc. Which I don't eat any of. myself my body and me rather have the carbs from the cheese and the fruit over the empty carbs of bread and grains. -- Knight-Toolworks & Custom Planes Custom made wooden planes at reasonable prices See http://www.knight-toolworks.com For prices and ordering instructions. |

How about f/f or lowfat cottage cheese -- both good sources of calcium and protein without a lot of calories? You can eat fruit with the cottage cheese or try flavoring it with sugar-free syrups or adding Equal and cinnamon -- various ways to enhance it. If you don't end up getting much dairy, then I would recommend a calcium supplement. Apart from it being nutritionally important, it is supposed to help with weight loss. Chris |

Monte,
I think that SBD = South Beach Diet BTW, I agree with you on the whole grains/higher fiber alternates that you mention below. I even got DH off Eggos :-) On 9/25/2003 6:26 AM, Montgomery Hounchell wrote: I don't know what SBD is. But why don't you switch from: White bread to whole wheat bread. White rice to brown rice. White pasta to whole wheat pasta. Monte |

I think the issue with cheese is that it can stall some people that are lactose intollerant.... I had no problem eating cheese and losing weight though when I was on it. How come you did not stop regaining? I am not trying to admonish you, I just lost a bunch of weight and want to not regain it. So I am looking for tips, "what went wrong" type of stuff, to avoid pitfalls. Any weight I regained along my journey was due to laziness. I got sloppy about journaling and counting either points or calories, and the weight started to creep up. I didn't pay attention until I was 15 lbs over my goal weight and my pants were screaming for more material... Amy 168/115 |

The ff cheese I just couldn't get past my mouth, the texture I think was
the big turn off for me lol I can honestly tell you I've never eaten a bite of cottage cheese, I will buy some at the grocery next time and try it. Good idea.

"Beauty Cafe" wrote in message ... Ya'll can laugh your heads off, but I just signed up for SBD...yes I did...okay quit it now!! Be nice...According to them I am well within my range for height and age...however, I am going to attempt to lose 15 to 20lbs. I have to get my carbs under control...I want to try this out for a bit and see what happens and then if I am still getting the low blood sugar feeling then I am going to go and get tested for Diabetes. My problem is the usual white bread, rice, and pasta but I am hoping that if I curb these carbs it will help. I don't know how closely I will follow the SBD, but I am going to use it as a guide and a recipe source. So we shall see. I'll report my process as I go through it. Love, laughter and friendship Lisa in Dallas www.beautycafe.com My friend at work has lost over 15 lbs in a month on SBD. She was a pasta and bread freak prior to the diet and claims she no longer even craves them. I bought the book for DH (he's looking for a sensible plan he can stick with) and for my maintenance. I won't be reading it for a while though so keep me posted on what you think. Jenn 300/153/140 |

Good idea. If you don't hate the first try, try different brands. They vary quite a bit in saltiness, sourness, and wetness (some are downright soupy). Of the brands available where I am, I prefer Breakstone - not too wet, and not salty so it goes well with the fruit I put in it. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |
