WHATSAPP ENQUIRIES
Have you just started a diet or decided it’s time to make a change and live a healthier lifestyle? Have you researched a variety of diets and discovered that many of them either cut out cheese completely or (like the Keto Diet) seem to include way too much cheese and fats? Are you now confused as to whether or not you can include cheese in your diet when trying to lose weight?
Well, we have the answer for you!
In this article, we will discuss whether or not you can include cheese in your diet, as well as which cheese is best for weight loss.
Is Cheese Okay for Losing Weight?
Cheese in large quantities is unfortunately not the best food for weight loss if you are aiming to slim down. However, this does not mean that you have to live a life without cheese if it is one of your favourite foods. As with all things when it comes to losing weight, moderation is key, and a balanced and healthy diet can contain cheese.
Count Your Cheese Calories
The reason why cheese isn’t the best to consume in large quantities when trying to lose weight is because it is high in calories and saturated fats. Therefore it is important to count your calories and enjoy small amounts of cheese every now and then. The good news is that cheese does contain calcium and protein so it will have some benefits when trying to meet your calcium and protein intake for the day. Just be sure to document everything so that you don’t accidentally overdo it.
Which Cheese is Best for Weight Loss?
Some cheeses are higher in calories and saturated fats than others and you should try to avoid those. Luckily there is a cheese option that you can include in your diet and that is recommended by the weight loss professionals at Slender wonder.
Cottage cheese is your friend! On the Slender Wonder program, you are allowed to eat plain, fat-free cottage cheese! If you are however craving a slightly different flavour or texture of cheese you should ensure that you choose a cheese that is 10g fat or less per 100g.
