    Why do people get pissy about this? What part of

    MOAR CHEESE FOR YOU

    is a bad thing? I'm not trying to ban cheese, for gouda's sake!
    I'm not pissy, I am a foodie. Or, as CB puts it, I am a bread-and-cheese-itarian.

    Cheese is the farthest thing from culinary spackle; cheese is worthy of its on food group, in fact.

    This is my homage to fromage: a good cheese, or selection thereof, can replace any course of a meal. It is something to be savored. Cheese is more delicious than even the chocolatiest of desserts.

    On top of that, cheese is the perfect keto food. Almost no carbs, nice and fatty, and some protein.

    The 'food' industry uses HFCS as you describe cheese. Adding more HFCS to a processed item covers up the item's inherent shittiness of flavor because the human physiology is programmed to hoard anything with sugar.

    No one is pissy, I think, we just want to make sure you understand how completely wrong you are about cheese.

    When I get out of work, I'm going home, unwrapping the extra sharp cheddar I got yesterday, cutting myself off a big hunk of it and going to town. It will be glorious.

    I would love to do a cheese tasting at Expo.
  • So game for that.

    Good stuff, too. I got some unpasteurized sheep's milk gruyere at Whole Foods once. It was 1000% amazing.

    Also, actually ESPECIALLY, MSG.

    Betsy and I frequently make an easy meal we call 'taco boats'.

    Cut a couple bell peppers in half, fill with taco stuff (we just use taco spiced chicken and onions), top with cheese, bake at 350 for about ten minutes, broil for the last couple minutes for browned cheese.

    If you skip the cheese, also skip the broil, and cover them with something else or the meat will dry out a bit on top.

    We like this so much, and it's so easy to make, we have it at least once a week.
    Something else that is good and similar to this, is to use zucchini cored out as the boats, with taco meat inside and baked. Delicious!

    I have put together a wine and cheese tasting before and could do so for EPIC ... though the wine isn't keto
  • By EPIC, I will be off of keto.

    I wish this forum supported the "Like this post" feature so I could like the hell out of that. ;)

    Congrats, buddy! Few people can ever say that, and considering how long I know we've both battled with our weight, it is quite an accomplishment on many fronts.

    Goooooo Brian!
  • Congratulations!!! Keep it up and I won't recognize you at Expo
  • Congrats, Brian! I will have to get myself into better shape with that example to motivate me!
  • WagsFTWWagsFTW Member
    Congrats. Very exciting. :)

    For some reason, this made me think of posting it here.

    so unrealistic.... Who would put Nolan's cheddar out on a trap?
  • RyanMMRyanMM New to the neighborhood Member, Event Organizer, Supporter
    I dunno if this is common knowledge, but I just saw Drew Carey for the first time in a few years and was shocked at how much weight he lost. Apparently, I'm pretty out of date because he did this back in 2010 with a fairly keto-sounding diet.
