My rather stark opinion is this: If you want to get better, get on the diet. If family and friends and eating pizza is more important to you, than don’t.
Nothing but the threat of death at gunpoint should keep you off this diet.
Tell people the truth. Tell them you’re allergic. Tell them you’re from another planet and the food on this world will kill you but don’t, for God sake, not do this diet for any other reason.
What’s better? Going out to dinner with friends and feeling like shit for a week or explaining your condition to people so you can educate them and living like a norm ...
