anybody avoiding dairy?

  • I love love cheese! Did I mention I love cheese?
    However cheese is one of my foods that I have been avoiding because I over indulge when I eat it.
    I don't drink milk because I really dislike it. So that is not issue for me.
    I will say, I thought I would be craving it more. I did the first week, but not any more. I feel great. I'm not sure if it's that I'm eating better and not drinking wine as much.
    Does any one else notice a difference when you cut dairy out of your diet.

    Eta: I just realized I put a tablespoon of Greek yogurt in my tuna salad today. Lol, duh. I guess I'm avoiding cheese not dairy.
  • I haven't eaten dairy in 6 years or so. I cut cheese prior to that and I think that did help with cutting calories. I used to love cheese but now I think it is gross.
  • Cheese can sure be addicting! I've avoided dairy for awhile, though I guess I don't count pizza as dairy, lol. I don't trust the industry anymore, once it became commonplace to feed antibiotics & growth-type hormones to cows. Also, I get a skin reaction along the sides of my nose from eating casein products, one of the milk proteins (no problem with whey, tho). I don't miss it at all.
  • Oh my....I can devour cheese, that's for sure! And I LOVE milk. But I'm finding I am lactose intollerant now. So I just bought fat free organic lactose free milk at Whole Foods. It's really good. And yes, I tried coconut milk and almond milk. They just don't cut it for me.
  • I'm enjoying the fact that things taste just as good with out cheese.
    Still feeling good with out it. I don't know if I will always avoid it but for now it's working. Saves me the calories.
