Cheese
You can consume three to four ounces daily of the following full-fat, firm, soft and semisoft aged cheeses*, including:
• cheddar
• cow, sheep and goat cheese
• cream cheese
• Gouda
• mozzarella
• Roquefort and other blue cheeses
• Swiss

*All cheeses have some carbohydrate content. The quantity you eat should be governed by that knowledge. The rule of thumb is to count 1 ounce of cheese as equivalent to 1 gram of carbohydrate. Note that cottage cheese, farmer’s cheese and other fresh cheeses are not permitted during Induction. No "diet" cheese, cheese spreads or whey cheeses are permitted. Individuals with known yeast symptoms, dairy allergy or cheese intolerance must avoid cheese. Imitation cheese products are not allowed, except for soy or rice cheese—but check the carbohydrate content.

I've always eaten Brie on induction, it's full fat, filling and wonderful.

Brie is similar to cream cheese and also similarly low in carbs, so it would be allowed. However, count it towards your daily 4 oz. max of cheese (which means you should weigh it prior to eating).

See here for a full list of allowed foods for induction.

An ounce of Brie has fewer carbs (0.128g) than cheddar (0.363g), so it is fine on induction.

How do you eat your Brie cheese?? I've always wondered how it tastes or how you use it.

Smeared on celery, spread on flax crackers or just cut into wedges, sprinkled on a salad of crisp lettuce and enjoyed!!
