Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 i went dairy free this week. there are so many options for cheese alternatives that taste good. it's been only a few days and i can tell a huge difference in how i feel already. been using dairy free " butter " for quite a while - cheese was the hardest, but the alternatives work. besides, i keep finding mroe and more things that do not need cheese at all - had a baked potato with no cheese - just added garlic powder and cilantro instead. , Coop <rodstruelove wrote: > > Cutting down will certainly help.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I don¹t know if it¹s available yet in the States, but the best vegan cheese I¹ve found here in Australia (and it¹s actually made in the UK) is Cheezly! I don¹t find the need for a cheese substitute very often, really, but once in a while I will pick some of this stuff up and it¹s really nice. Better than any of the soy cheeses I¹d tried before. I will say if you just gave up cheese recently, you may not like the substitutes right away. I waited until I¹d been cheese free for a couple of months to try them. It¹s what you¹re used to ... I didn¹t like soy milk at first because it was different than what I was used to ... now I love it. I didn¹t like the soy frozen desserts at first but now I love them.
