Hi, nycfembbw!
I now eat vegan (except for fish), as I believe that it decreases my chance of having a cancer recurrence.
Subsequently, I have given up all diary. Milk protein is 80 percent caesin, which accelerates the growth of tumors and metastatis (the other 20 percent is whey, which helps inhibit cancer).
All people have cancer cells, but it stands to reason that I could/would have more cancer cells floating around in my body. I don't want to increase the growth of those malignant cells.
I use almond milk in my cereal and it is surprisingly really good!
To answer the other question, how I did it (stopped eating cheese) was to just stop eating it. It sucks. I can't stand the taste of soy cheese or any of the other "fake cheese", as I call it, so I just do without.
Why do you want to cut out cheese..the calories?
ETA: I am allowed to have 2 eggs per week as long as they are infused with Omega 3 (just saying since I mentioned the vegan thing)
