Thu, 24 Jul 2008 21:12:21 +0000 http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlI've converted us to wholewheat pasta as it's a bit more filling so you don't eat so much of it and obviously more healthy. I also have some grated cheese on the top but in moderation; parmesan is meant to better again than cheddar.http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlThu, 24 Jul 2008 21:12:21 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlThanks for the info. I do eat too much, especially when i have been out and just raid the fridge. I was also told too much pasta can be quite fattening?? To be honest, i just want to get fit rather then lose a lot of weight. If i am doing a lot of exercise then I tend not to worry too much about what i eat (within reason)...It's the weeks that i dont exercise i struggle! Thanks for the response....http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlThu, 24 Jul 2008 15:08:32 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlQuoting: bally77I also LOVE Cheese. Is it really that bad for you?? Stephen, with a body like that, why are you worrying about cheese? Seriously, those of us who are cutting down fat - particularly saturated fat - have to watch how much cheese we eat as it is very high in sat fat. Boring bit coming up ..... fat contains twice as many calories by weight as protein or carbohydrate, so you're better to have 50g of pasta than 50g of cheese if you're trying to lose weight. ...http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlThu, 24 Jul 2008 14:35:32 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlHi, I also LOVE Cheese. Is it really that bad for you?? What is the most healthy option? I really dont fancy giving it up and i dont think the strong cheese only sliced thinner will help....No will power! http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlThu, 24 Jul 2008 11:54:54 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlQuoting: Roger888All I can suggest is stop buying cheese. Quoting: drechungI love cheese too so I also I had to just avoid buying it. I agree. When I joined THC in January I decided to give up alcohol and only have cheese very occasionally. When I do buy cheese, I get low-fat cheddar from M&S as it actually tastes of cheese (unlike some other low-fat varieties!) I did try marking it out in 50g portions, but that was no use as I just wanted to eat more every time I saw it in the fridge...http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlWed, 23 Jul 2008 23:08:42 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlI used to buy Babybels for my kids' lunchbox but as I'm on a money saving exercise, I buy a block of cheese just for them and cut it into cubes and put it a box in the bottom of the fridge out of my sight. Tesco did a 5 counties cheese which had stripes. Maybe something like that would prove too tempting however. Babybels are more fiddly to eat! Have you finished for the summer Catherine? I've got 2 days to go, we finish on Wednesday....http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlMon, 21 Jul 2008 19:37:27 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlbuy mini babybels, this is the only way i can control my cheese intake as i truly love it! also, dont cut it out entirely beacause if you tell yourself you cant have it you will want it more!http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlMon, 21 Jul 2008 19:26:57 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlI love cheese too so I also I had to just avoid buying it. Don't avoid it entirely, just only get one block when I go shopping and make it last by getting really strong stuff. Grating also makes it go furtherhttp://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlSat, 19 Jul 2008 20:11:48 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlI buy a strong mature cheese and as soon as it gets home I grate it in the food processor and put it into plastic containers in the fridge. My family still get it in sandwiches etc and I never fancy picking on grated cheese.http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlSat, 19 Jul 2008 17:15:34 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlhi all, best tip i had was buy the strongest you can and cut it thin. then you still get the taste xhttp://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlSat, 19 Jul 2008 11:38:25 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlHi, Oh boy oh boy I know what you mean. I too, share this addiction for cheese as does my husband ( unhealthily skinny and can't put on weight to save his life) and we had to stop buying it. It has definately helped and now I can really really enjoy the occasional indulgence when out in a resturant. My husband now has a smoked cheese in his sandwiches that I don't like and has admitted that he feels better for not having the evening binges on cheddar, brie etc. My heart goes out to...http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlSat, 19 Jul 2008 10:44:46 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlAll I can suggest is stop buying cheese. It is mostly fat and your other family members would probably be healthier without. I have the same problem with chocolate so I 'try' not to buy it but some occasionally falls into my shopping basket. What cheeses do you like? As a special treat I buy one of those little round camemberts maybe once a year but try to avoid pizza and other cheesy food. Hope this helps....http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlSat, 19 Jul 2008 10:25:04 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlHi all dieters, I really need to follow a low fat diet and although i know what i should eat, there is one major fall down, I am addicted to cheese, well I know that sounds strange but if its around I want some. Other family members will not be deprived of cheese because of me any advice please on how to get around this problem...http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/1_1162_0.htmlSat, 19 Jul 2008 09:35:35 +0000
