Eating cheese on Keto

[BigusDigus]

For me, I find dairy to give me less definition when I'm losing fat on keto even when the macros are under maintenance...Don't know why?
What is in dairy that may cause this?

Could just be dairy causes you some bloat (does for some) or, depending on what the actual item is, some dairy (cottage cheese) has higher sodium.

Yeah, you are probably are right...Dairy is just not for me. Good thing there are many alternatives.
Thanks for the reply.

OK so you are dropping dairy completely from your diet just because you think you look less defined when you eat some cheese while on a keto cut?

You know that sounds a bit like going off half cocked.

Nocebo.

Theres a thin line between delusion and Lactose intolerance

[Mrpb]

People with lactose intolerance can often eat many types of cheese without problems.

Perhaps OP is eating a high amount of cheese with high sodium intake making him retain water.

The more likely explanation IMO: it's a nocebo effect.

I had been eating a lot of cheese when I started keto, and stopped eating it about two weeks ago when I realized that may be what has been preventing me from losing weight. (Apparently, dairy protein spikes insulin.) I'm not sure if I've lost any yet since I haven't stepped on a scale since, but my acne that I got when I started keto has since cleared up pretty nicely. I still eat low-protein dairy products, like half and half in my coffee, and sour cream with my chicken, and I am fine.

Aside from skin problems, I'm sure it's the insulinogenic quality of the dairy protein that is having an effect on you.
