Contact Information: “With the popularity of the Atkins diet came a realization that you don’t necessarily have to give up your favorite foods,” said Roberta McDonald, Senior Vice President of Cabot Cheese. “Cheddar cheese is a healthy, calcium-rich food that can be a part of any number of weight loss programs. In fact, studies have shown that getting the recommended amount of calcium not only helps you stick to a diet, but also helps keep the weight off.” Cabot’s online “cheddar conversion chart” (www.cabotcheese.com/healthfacts) charts how cheese fits into popular diets, such as the Atkins Diet, the Zone and Weight Watchers and does so in the language of each particular diet: points, grams, or units. The Atkins Diet, for example, which promotes weight loss by decreasing carbohydrate intake, recommends 3-4 servings of cheese each day. Cabot’s diet page takes that recommendation one step further by showing that a serving equals a 1-ounce chunk of cheddar cheese, which contains no carbohydrates, 110 calories, and 7 grams of protein. Cabot’s website provides a nutritional analysis of their products, as well as delicious low fat and low carbohydrate recipes such as Cheddar Mustard Broiled Fish and a Breakfast Quesadilla. Cabot’s award winning cheddars, including 50% and 75% reduced fat cheddars, are available online at www.shopcabot.com. Cabot Creamery Cooperative has been in continuous operation in Vermont since 1919 and makes a full line of cheeses and butter. Cabot dairy products have won virtually every major award for taste. Over the past five years alone, Cabot has held the titles of “Best Cheddar” and “Best Flavored Cheese” from the World Championship Cheese Contest, “Best Low Fat/Low Sodium Cheese” from the American Cheese Society, “Most Outstanding Cheese” from the National Milk Producers Federation and “Best Cheddar,” “Best Aged Cheddar,” “Best Butter,” and “Best Flavored Cheese” from the U.S. Championship Cheese Contest.
