Same with nuts. It's so easy to over-do it and eat tons of both cheese and nuts. That's the reason they're not recommended for Induction, in my opinion. I've read that in earlier versions of Dr. Atkins' book, nuts were allowed during Induction. He probably found that many people over-did it and it was interfering with weight loss, so he took it out.

A lot of people, when starting LC eating for the first time, seem to rely on cheese. I know I did. Now (several years into this WOL), I eat cheese occasionally, and never much at a time.

You tastes will change. If the 6 ounces a day isn't interfering with your progress, go ahead and eat it. If you're not losing as quickly as you'd like (and be realistic here -- no more than 1 to 2 pounds a week is about what you should expect after Induction), drop the cheese for a while and see if it makes a difference.
