Cheese

Hi everyone,

Is someone able to tell me if Brie cheese is acceptable on the induction phase. I think it is as soft cheeses are allowed, but just wanted to check.

Thanks!

actually it says right there in Atkinsgal08's post that you can have Brie

Brie is a full fat, soft, aged cheese made from cow milk

Thanks all! I thought I recalled mention of Brie, but I wasn't certain.

Re: Cheese

Good for you for checking before you eat it
Brie was one of the foods that helped me through induction, spread on buttered flax (linseed) crackers (which I used to take in my bag) it was usually a good option for a dessert when eating out at a posh dinner, and made it easier to pass on the sugary desserts!

Re: Cheese

And don't forget other soft aged cheeses like Camembert, Port Salut, Stilton, and Gorgonzola.

Be careful with the goat cheeses, though....Some soft goat cheeses are not aged ("ripened" as it is sometimes called), and some soft goat cheeses are. So you will have to read the packages and/or ask the cheese maker if the cheese is ripened/aged or not.

Last autumn I bought a lovely soft, aged goat cheese from an artisanal cheese maker (it was pricey but it was soooooooo delicious!)

ENJOY!
