Brea, if you had a real cheese obsession, then eliminating cheese probably just reduced the total calories you were eating.
I love bread, pasta, and rice. And sweets. When I eat these foods, they overstimulate my appetite, mess up my blood sugar, and make me more food obsessed. When I limit them to occasional and small servings, my appetite diminishes and I find it easier to eat the number of calories required for weight loss. I think that probably alot of people need to eat fewer carbs and more protein, especially middle-aged women with extra fat around the waist, but I won't go so far as to suggest that everyone needs to eat this way. Everyone's physiology is a bit different.
