Can you eat cheese on the keto diet?

So let’s get started with one of the questions I get asked most often about the keto diet.  Is it really okay to eat cheese on the keto diet?  So the answer is obviously YES or this keto diet cheese guide wouldn’t even exist, BUT there are some caveats to this answer that I’ll go through with you now.  But first, why did the parmesan swipe left on the cheddar? His pick-up line was too cheesy!

Okay, moving on.  Cheese is generally a great low carb high fat food to enjoy in moderation on the keto diet.  The most common mistakes keto dieters often make with cheese that can stall their weight loss is choosing the wrong cheese or overindulging in cheese.  We’ll discuss the best cheeses for keto and weight loss in the next section.  For now, let’s get into how cheese could stall your weight loss on keto.

Although most cheese is low in carbohydrate content, eating large amounts of cheese can slow your weight loss since it’s high in calories and very easy to overeat.  If you choose to enjoy cheese on the keto diet, you need to balance it with other types of healthy fat and protein.  The moon is not made entirely of cheese and neither is your body (not sure if this qualifies as a “cheese joke” but I thought it was sort of clever 😉).  Just like anything else in life balance and variety is key when it comes to cheese on keto.

Many people also have trouble tolerating dairy, which can cause inflammation in the body and result in stalled weight loss.  If you have any of these symptoms of dairy intolerance, you may want to ease off of dairy for a while and see if your weight loss improves.

So in conclusion, as long as you don’t have a dairy intolerance, cheese can be a healthy part of the keto diet when combined with other healthy sources of fat and protein.  If you want to lose even more weight on keto, make sure to grab your free PDF download of 5 Secret Keto Hacks to Lose More Weight Super Fast in my wellness library.  Get exclusive access here!
