I read that organic plain yogurt is an acceptable substitute for the cottage cheese. Is that correct? The suggested protein limit was 10-12% but I could only find less, (8%) or more (14%). Is either ok?
I am not able to find organic cottage cheese or quark.
Thank you,

From all I read, there is no good substitute.It has to do with protein concentration and the amount of sulphur available to bond to the flax oil. Are you in the states? A grocer may be able to special order you a case of Nancy's organic lowfat cottage cheese even if they don't carry. Sprouts, Whole Foods and Natural Grocer all carry that brand.

Yes, but you need to reduce the water content. This is easily done by placing the yogurt in cheesecloth, or a very fine sieve, or a coffee filter, and letting the whey (watery part) drain out. The remaining "cheese" may actually be closer to the quark originally used by Budwig than is cottage cheese, and works perfectly for making FOCC.

Lisa Young while it is true that there is no good substitute for dairy, the question is about yogurt, which IS a dairy product. So yes, if you drain some of the whey from yogurt, you obtain a cheese very much like the quark that Budwig used, which is indeed a wonderful (and perhaps superior) substitute for cottage cheese. In fact, it is actually cottage cheese that is a substitute for quark, which cannot be easily obtained in the US.

Quark or cottage cheese, organic if possible, I don’t think the lack of organic cottage cheese stopped my arthritis healing on the diet! Not one bit!

I agree that organic is nice if you can, but I healed stage 4 nsclc using Daisy brand 2%. Unless a person has a particular probem digesting cottage cheese, I wouldn't use yogurt. Just my personal opinion.

Agree Rod.....my 11 years now with Budwig, I have used Daisy-Low-Fat...three ingredients....cultured skim milk, cream and salt. Only a guess.....but I think the majority of the people thru the years on Budwig used regualr cottage cheese or made their own. I remember Dana Mills saying she made her own cottage cheese. Trying to find an organic cottage cheese can be daunting for many and certainly can be more expensive..

Budwig originally specified the use of Quark, NOT cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is a substitute, since Quark is not readily available in the US. Here is what Wikipedia says about Quark: " Quark or quarg is a type of fresh dairy product made from milk. The milk is soured, usually by adding lactic acid bacteria cultures, and strained once the desired curdling is achieved." In other words, if you make or buy yogurt, then strain it to reduce the moisture content, you end up with Quark, which is what Budwig originally used. So yes, you can use it to make FOCC.
