I hope you get a definitive answer as I've got a dozen Babybel light in my fridge just waiting to know if it's myself whose gonna scoff 'em (not all at once, obviously) or my six year old as she loves 'em too.:confused:
 
As far as I know cheese is an allowed item and you are allowed 1 babybel light or 30gr extra light philadelphia. Not sure about the other cheese brands.
 
i think they come under tolerated items
 
Got this from the Dukan site!

Kazzamce, thanks so much for posting this. It's a great help *legs it to the fridge to scoff a babybel light*

Easy on those tolerateds... only to be used if you're happy with your weight loss and you're not stalling :)

And, for new people particularly, it's good to have something to pull out when the going gets tough rather than incorporating them immediately into your food plan. They can cause a stall and often do...
 
Sorry, when I wrote allowed I meant tolerated.
 
I don't think the Babybels lights come in the tolerated group though. Even the light ones are 'reduced fat' only and still have 12% fat (or so), whereas the philly extra-light has 4% (I think) and the extra-light laughing cow type cheese (processed triangles) is 3%. And *only those* are allowed in small doses. Save the babybel for Conso, and accept that for Cruise really the rule needs to be "no cheese".
 
oh no! looks like my daughter's going to be enjoying the dozen BB lights that were waiting on the fridge for me :cry:

Hey ho, it's hardly the end of the world...
 
Never mind - we are on a diet after all!! ;) But I am thinking - won't the philly make a lovely cream cheese frosting for muffins - by adding sweetener and flavouring?? I am going to make muffins using my gingerbread syrup and try this - will let you know how it goes!
