Nah, there's nothing wrong with cheese, particularly soft ones which have no lactose (brie, chevre, or triple creme). Agree on reducing the flour and rice, and increasing fruits and vegetables. Go heavier on the vegetables than the fruit until you get to your goal weight. Nuts are an excellent snack, particularly almonds. I eat a couple handfuls of almonds every day. Recent research shows that increases heart health similar to red wine.
Forget about the juicing. Drink only water, unsweetened tea, or black coffee. Don't use artificial sweeteners. If you drink slcohol, don't use sweetened mixers.
I can't really argue with that if you're doing Atkins, but if you are calorie counting, cheese will sabotage your calorie count really fast.

You only need to eat a little bit and it will satisfy a person for a lot longer. A small hunk of cheese is a great snack, perfect to give you fuel to get to the next meal.

I will eat a cheese stick ( colby/jack) with apples slices...great snack and it carries me until lunch.
Works for me. I love apple and cheese as a snack. I'm particularly fond of Trader Joes goat's milk gouda.
oohhhh..that does sound good! The Lauging Cow has some really good cheese wedges..low in calories, but FULL of wonderful flavor. No TJ's around here..yet..but there is one coming!!!
Ppl at work say they can tell the time by what I'm eating..lol..at 1000 everyday I have my apple and cheese.
Laughing Cow is - not really cheese. If you read the description it's called a processed cheese product, or something of that ilk. It has some of the ingredients that cheese has - all processed up with artificial this that and the other thing in such a way that it isn't legally allowed to be called cheese anymore.
That said, it's addictive and I love the original, which unfortunately isn't "light." So I rarely have Laughing Cow, because it's just way too easy for me to eat three of those wedges in a single sitting.
I eat too much cheese as it is, heh. I'm allergic to an enzyme or one of the proteins or some kind of nonsense like that. Makes me thoroughly addicted, and makes my stomach go insane and even affects my mood if I eat too much. Beloved spouse knows to stay out of my way for the night when I announce that I'm going to get a bacon pizza for myself for supper. Once every 5 or 6 months...it's not pretty
Coconut oil? You must love highly saturated fats. Eight government organizations recommend against the use of any significant amounts of it.
(Palm oil, Palm kernel oil and coconut oil are the big three in terms of highly saturated vegetable fats).
Check your cholesterol levels often.
I love saturated fats. Yeah, check your cholesterol levels, or better yet your heart health, and I'll bet you see little difference either way. The government is under tremendous pressure by the ag lobby to promote oils made from things like corn, rapeseed and soy. The saturated fats boogeyman is one more way they do that.
Sounds good, except the government and other nutritionists are recommending more monounsaturated oils, not the ones that are more polyunsaturated like corn oil.
