Wait a minute! "Women who ate an ounce of full-fat cheese daily gained fewer pounds over time than their less-cheesy peers".

Hooray! *dances around the room*

Yeah, cheese has long been a staple of all the no-carb diets. They usually tell you to do low-fat cheese, but that's just because they want to keep your total calorie count down. Love cheese. Especially with macaroni (so much for the low-carb).

Who can stop at an ounce?

Tell me if I am wrong, but doesn't "gained fewer pounds" mean they still gained weight? heheh

] I know. I love cheese, too. [

Hard cheeses actually don't have that much lactose in it... Have you tried something like cheddar or edam?

You can pry my cheese out of my cold dead hands.

Ooh! Cheese! I love cheese.

Doesn't surprise me that it helps a dieter to eat cheese. Cheese is so filling and satisfying.

YAY! I guess really this is about moderation and being sensible - but a slice of full fat cheese leaves you satisfied and you are less likely to pig out on other stuff.

I bought low fat "cheddar" cheese once. Dreadful stuff. It tasted like the vinyl upholstery on our Oldsmobile. I hate, hate, HATE wasting food, but this pressed plastic was inedible even after mixing with a white sauce, so I simply dumped the rest of it.

Eat real cheese, just less of it, if your pants are tight.
