Cottage Cheese Diet to Help You Lose Weight

The cottage cheese diet is often seen as yet another "warming trend" diet that's just a fad which is not effective for most people.

However, many of those who try it insist that the cottage cheese diet is a fad diet but is rather an application of the principle of eating functional foods for certain results.

Cottage cheese is low in fat and calories and high in protein (and a slow-absorption protein, meaning your body can burn it for longer periods without needing replenishment) and calcium, and it only takes most people less than one cup of it to feel revitalized and filled.

Many people who have put themselves on this diet have used this delicious food to replace their formerly large breakfasts and they insist that they see results. Other people have used this food to replace a higher fat or higher carb ingredient in some recipes, such as sour cream, and they say the taste is still there but they also see weight loss results. Still others have used this food as an alternative dessert and they love the flavor.

Cottage cheese has also been made a core part of the diets of some of those people who put themselves on high protein diets (these are typically people with very fast metabolisms or competitive athletes). The versatile, filling food supplies them with both protein and the much-needed calcium that they sometimes don't get enough of as they eat their high protein foods.

One cup of cottage cheese contains approximately 240 calories, 10 grams of fat, 6 grams of carbohydrates, and 28 grams of protein. This food functionality coupled with its ease on the stomach makes the food a favorite food of strength trainers and body builders.
