Cheese lover afraid of low-fat cheeses

I am starting the diet soon... maybe Monday, depends on when I can go shopping for the right foods. I know I'll miss my bread and pasta, but the rest won't bother me much. HOWEVER, what I am REALLY afraid of is CHEESE! I LOVE LOVE LOVE cheese, and I'm not so sure I can do low-fat (or no-fat) cheese. I haven't tried much in a few years because it was so awful. I can only hope it is better now. What low-fat cheeses do you really like? what about for cooking with? I know in years past when I tried to cook with low-fat/no-fat cheese it didn't work out at all.

I don't have a problem with part-skim mozzerella, is this low-fat enough to eat? The only other low-fat cheese I have had recently is the Cracker Barrel 2% cheddar, and that is a little dry but I could deal with it.

Hi Amanda,


Here's the skinny on the light & fit smoothies:


Dannon has four Light 'N Fit products. The Light 'N Fit Carb Control is not a good choice on the SBD. It is geared towards diets that count grams of carbs - the SBD doesn't. It also contains cream which disqualifies it for a nonfat yogurt (contains 3 gms fat or which 2 gms are saturated). The other three Light 'N Fit products may be used on phase 2, but need to be limited to 4 ounces. The reason is that they contain fructose syrup or high fructose corn syrup. They also contain modified corn syrup as the second ingredient. Again, these three products can be enjoyed on phase 2, but need to be limited to 4 ounces daily.

I don't care for it, but I remember someone posted a nutritionist saying that velveeta was permitted.


Yes, velveeta light is permitted.
