giving up cheese - changing tastes

[Guest guest]

Lorraine mentioned cheese being hard to give up. I would like to add a

perspective to that thought.

 

As I mentioned in my intro a few days ago, removing dairy was the

first change I made to my diet. It was hard! I used to love macaroni

and cheese, broccoli and cheese, cottage cheese, and even cheese

sticks. But they caused me endless indigestion, often keeping me up at

night. During the first few months, I tried to sneak in slivers of

cheesecake or milk chocolate...bad idea! So I took care of my body and

stayed away from cheese and milk.

 

After a couple of years, I noticed that I didn't crave these things

any more. My tastes had changed. I craved new things - kamut spiral

pasta, steamed broccoli with salt and olive oil, hummus, and sometimes

dark chocolate. :-) It's now been seven years since I gave up dairy

and I have no more cravings. There is hope! :-)

I thought it would be difficult to give up cheese but to be honest i

never missed it once i found other foods i much prefered.

 

If you are looking for a cheese alternative i must admit some of the

ones on the market arnt that nice but i do like the one called

sheeze, thats quite nice on a pizza etc.

lucky for me i never liked cheese, and developed a severe allergy to it early on in my lil life.....

(sadly, that didn't stop my step mother from serving it)

supposedly there are "better" vegany cheeses on the market nowadays, but since i never really liked the real stuff, i tend to steer clear of most of it

The "not-a ricotta" house cheese from lanesplitters (local pizza) place was passable to good, but, you have to order it here.

hopefully they still use organic vegan sugar (haven't been there in a year or so, and that was an issue now and again)
