Compliance
You could eat however you like when you go out to dinner, but as you
mentioned, you will pay for it later with bodily pain. Just mention to your
hosts that you have very specific dietary needs and although the meal looks
great, you just can’t eat everything presented. When I first started this
diet, I was AMAZED at the many people who tried to “graciously” sabotage my
food lists with avoids. I just remained FIRM but polite, and they got the
idea. Now whenever I go out to friends for dinner, they have prepared
something just for me (like, a plain steak and a good green salad with
nothing on it and plain steamed broccoli — which I can eat by itself) and I
bring my own condiments.
