Linda & Jan, Thank you for your encouragement and responding. For anyone who has dropped Dairy for at least 30 days, did you see good results? Was it mainly in how you felt and not about weight loss? Cheese, Full-Fat Greek Yogurt and Sour Cream have been the main items I've been having recently and the doctor I am seeing now is recommending that I drop Dairy. I'm ok and on board with that and willing to try it for 30 days. Did you feel the need to do it longer than 30 days? I had hoped to have the Thyroid results today, but no luck so far. Hoping to hear from the Doc by Wednesday.

Yes!
Even though I have a scale buried deeply in the back of my closet, I do not use it. Instead, I keep an eye on myself by the way my Levis fit from week to week.
I have been on a LCHF WOE since July of 2008. My weight has pretty well plataued, however, during the winter, I went overboard on the full fat Cabot Yogurt, Organic Valley Whole milk, plus other recipes containing heavy cream or sour cream.
When I tried on my jeans earlier this year, they WERE VERY TIGHT!
Crap!!!
I re-watched Dr. Davis' videos regarding the inability to lose even on a very low carb, grain free diet, and looked back at my food diaries, and decided to ditch all dairy.
It has now been 8 weeks and my jeans are getting more and more comfy every day, so, it is working. Please be aware that I lose weight VERY SLOWLY, regardless of the WOE. I have always been this way.
I have decided to continue going dairy free for a full 13 weeks [3 months] and then reevaluate my situation.
BTW I did not give up cheese. According to Dr D, cheese is Ok. It is the whey in dairy that causes the problem and most of the whey is removed during the process of making cheese.
I do miss some of the delicious soups made with heavy cream and I really loved that yogurt which I ate just about every day with organic berries or homemade granola. But, I WILL NOT begin buying jeans in a larger size. NOT GONNA HAPPEN!
