 Re: Cheese amount | |
It's because too much cheese stalls some people.
It is also because you should be getting the majority (over half) of your net carbs from vegetables, which are limited to 3 cups per day -- max. 1 cup from the "Other Vegetables" list and the rest from the "Salad Vegetables".
It is also because cheese can cause constipation.
And it is also because many people have issues controlling their cheese intake, 'cuz they like the stuff so much.

"The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
