Red face Cheese amount

I see that it is suggested that you limit your cheese intake to 3 or 4 oz. Is this because of the 1oz. = 1 gm of carb. or is there another reason. I love cheese and would count the carbs as part of the <20 per day rule.

Default 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.

Naaaah.... You can do better than that. 4 ounces of dry grated parmesan (especially when you also have some real bacon bits) can go a long way, I mean sprinkle it on breakfast, lunch and dinner, and you may still have some left to dip celery into!

Default Re: Cheese amount

The Rules also states that one ounce of cheese is counted as 1 net carb.
