Cheese-aholic Abstinence Challenge

[LC_Dave]

Hi everyone,

I want to do a challenge for everyone who is giving up cheese. Please don't post hear if you disagree with this!

I have given up cheese. Basically I find it very addictive. I gave it up to help kill my candida issues. But what I have found is the health benefits of giving it up are great! No more zits, clear headedness & sounder sleep.

I've given up all Dairy, but I think this challenge should be about cheese, because cheese is so damned addictive!

Check outh this page: http://nomilk.com/

Okay I guess the challenge should be: How many days can we stay cheese free ?

Basically people will pledge their start dates in this thread and see how long they can go without cheese. If you fall off, just start all over again. We will support you!

So who would like to join ?

Anyone care to make a cool blinkie for us!??

Re: Cheese-aholic Abstinence Challenge

Re: Cheese-aholic Abstinence Challenge

Good for you!
I'm lucky enough to be able to handle cheese, but you bring up some really good points!
Two reasons for giving it up...one being that it's addictive, and the other being that some folks can't tolerate it very well (skin problems etc).
I wish you all the best in this...good job on recognizing a trouble spot!

Ahhh Tis more to this WOL than weight loss!

Actually it will assist in weight loss if you have candida issues. (Check out the Candida forum)

and Moochie - Yes it is a trouble spot for me, and trying to limit the cheese is not working. If people are honest they probably go over their cheese limit quite often.

I find giving it up altogther a lot easier!
