The Adjusted Life {cheese}

Cheese – tyramine is the potential problem in cheese

The bad stuff:
Aged cheeses - Blue cheese, brie, cheddar, stilton, feta, gorgonzola, muenster, Parmesan, Swiss, processed cheese

The good stuff:
Young cheeses – cottage cheese, ricotta, cream cheese, and good quality American cheese

The in-between stuff:
Relatively young cheeses – fresh goat cheese and mozzarella

I love cheese.

I love food smothered in melted cheese. I love grilled cheese sandwiches... Yes, I love cheese.

I lessened the amount of cheese I use almost two years ago after joining Weight Watchers. I still enjoy having light string cheese and Laughing Cow Swiss wedges as snacks. They are great little bits of low-fat protein that compliment my Weight Watchers lifestyle.

In the last month, I have almost completely given up cheese. I've had a few small...tiny...minuscule amounts of cheese in the last few weeks.

I'm already looking forward to introducing cheese back into my diet to see if I react to it at all. Silly me. That's still more than a month away! From what I understand, however, aged cheese is one of the major triggers. One of the biggies. Time will tell if it is a biggie for me.
