Bob, here's the thing: cheese is part of the problem that got you into this mess. We all love cheese, but the mindset that causes us to think in terms of "my cheese"--a must have, something we're entitled/connected to--needs a serious overhaul when major health issues loom. What's required is to retool your brain and appetite to understand that here, on List A, are the foods we can have all we want of, and here on List B are the foods we have to avoid. Cheese is on List B, as I believe you'll find all of the low fat ones either still nominally too high in fat or just not worth eating (as we have). And may I add, since you 're a drinker, that your liver doesn't like handling dairy fat any better than your heart does AND if you went on an anti-cancer diet, cheese would be one of the first things to go there, too. Says a lot, doesn't it? Believe me, I know from personal experience exactly how hard it is to make these changes, but you *can* do it. You have to. This is not a case of that which does not kill you making you stronger.
Breakfast today at Chez J? Cabbage and green onions stir-fried in oyster sauce. Or at least, that's what Bob saw in his bowl. What I saw was a tasty collection of anti-oxidants and fiber. He doesn't have to think this way because he doesn't choose his food, I do because I choose for him, and for us. If you're in charge of your own meals, it's what you have to do too. Get some books. A nutritionist can help you plan a safe, healthy diet, but knowledge will help you stick with it. You need to educate yourself so you know why the smart choices are the right choices.
