I agree with Kvon on the cheese. If you take a look at my journal, you'll see I love cheese and really ate a ton of it in the beginning. I had a six week stall at some point and reluctantly had to greatly reduce cheese in efforts to see if it did stall me and low and behold the weight started to come off again. I still use cheese, but more like an ounce or two daily. I use sharp cheddar or romano or others that are similar because of their strong flavor. Cheese tends to be really high in sodium, swiss contains probably the least.

I also suggest using heavy cream (18%) over half and half. You can even use whipping cream (35%). You definately get more bang for your buck; they are lower carbs and higher fat.

I just realized your also Canadian.... I'm in Ontario.
