For me I just needed to just go cold turkey on it. I still long for yogurt and although I do indulge in the soy versions...it's not the same. The tofutti better than cream cheese product is the best "faux" cheesy product out there. I've tried all the other stuff out there including the Daiya...and it's just not worth the money for me to eat something that just doesn't replicate those cheesy sensations I once craved.

I rarely crave hard cheese now but honestly it took about a year to not feel deprived when everyone else was chowing down on pizza.
