Reddit reviews The Cheese Trap: How Breaking a Surprising Addiction Will Help You Lose Weight, Gain Energy, and Get Healthy

Cheese really is the hardest thing - you might be interested in Dr. Neal Barnard's latest book "The Cheese Trap". Maybe someone will invent a casomorphin patch!

This is really your call. I believe in the idea that reducing your intake of poor-quality foods is better than not reducing that intake at all.

Personally, it took a while to get the cheese-monkey off my back, and there have been periods of time where I went back to eating it. I'm not going to say I'll never eat it again, but the more I stay away from it, the more I realize that I don't feel good when I do eat it. And if it doesn't make my body feel good after I eat it, why do I do it?

You should look into The Cheese Trap, which goes into detail about why dairy is so delicious, and what are some of the common reasons we are attracted to it, even if it's not a good choice for us.

That said, you've been at this for 2 weeks-- try doing it for another 2 weeks without dairy and see how you feel! It may take some time for you to adjust.

Get some nutritional yeast. It's heavy on your 5th taste, umami aka savoryness, and has a somewhat cheesy taste. You can make vegan parmesan with it (and ground up cashews) or ricotta in lasagna (with help of tofu).

Neal Barnard, medical doctor and psychiatrist, has talked about cheese specifically. And here as well.. I know he has a book out, The Cheese Trap, it has good reviews but I never read it. Maybe any suggestions he has is floating around with more googling.

I find that soft, spreadable and dipping style vegan cheeses are usually excellent.

Also there is a recent book which might help you:

A good book I read on this is The Cheese Trap

>staying away from cheese is hard

There's good reason for that. Casomorphin in dairy is a natural opioid, in the same class of drug as morphine. Casomorphins are especially concentrated in cheese because the whey is removed during the curdling process. If you find it hard, you could tell yourself you're eating congealed fat and protein from the fermented milk of another animal. Milk that was intended to grow a baby calf in half the time it takes to wean a human baby. Honestly, I stopped missing cheese after 2 weeks. Thought it would be harder than it was. There are also more vegan cheese products. Try some Miyoko, Treeline, Chao or ask at r/vegan. Search for recipes of your favorite cheesy dishes with the word "vegan" before the dish name. For example here's a mac and cheese recipe https://minimalistbaker.com/best-vegan-gluten-free-mac-n-cheese/ or a cheesecake recipe https://avirtualvegan.com/vegan-new-york-cheesecake/ or a spinach artichoke dip http://www.hotforfoodblog.com/recipes/2015/8/20/vegan-spinach-artichoke-dip

If you want to know more about casomorphin in cheese check out this article https://www.superfoodly.com/casomorphin-cheese-addiction/ There's also the book The Cheese Trap by Dr. Barnard https://www.amazon.com/Cheese-Trap-Breaking-Surprising-Addiction/dp/1455594687

Amazon has a "Look Inside" for this book.
