Where as many nutrition plans count cheese as a protein, I count it as a fat option in The Diet Solution Program. That is because I do not feel that the protein content in cheese is high enough to qualify it as a full protein. With that being said, cheese does have a significant amount of protein, but for blood sugar balancing purposes, it just may not be enough for some. This is where the "listen to your body" tactic really comes into play. Some people can have 2 ounces of cheddar cheese and a small apple as a snack and feel great where as others may have this same snack and feel lethargic and sleepy just 30 minutes later. Let your body tell you if this would be a healthy option for you.

Let’s remember that portion control comes into effect with just about everything and 1-2 ounces of cheese (1 oz is about the size of a domino) can go a really long way in any meal (No, not the whole block . That’s way too much at once.)

Here are some great ways to add cheese into your healthy weight loss meal plans:

1. Sprinkle some shredded cheese on top of your morning vegetable omelet.
2. Combine cheese with an apple or pear and some raw nuts as a great 3pm pick me up.
3. Melt cheese over vegetables to get your whole family to eat their "veggies"

Remember, it only takes a small amount of cheese to add that extra flavor to most meals and recipes. There is no need to drown your salad, veggies, omelet, or meat in gobs and gobs of cheese (my apologies to chicken parmigiana and cheese casserole). There is a healthy way to have your cheese and eat it too.

In health and happiness,
