The hard part isn't cooking at home, assuming you can cook and the household eats the same - it's eating out, eating with friends, visiting others. It always adds that extra layer of complexity to simple things, and regularly invites the same old conversations.

Not saying it's impossible of course, but without some conviction to stick to it and be strong enough not to bow to peer pressure (which is really hard for most people), it's difficult.

Peer pressure is pretty rude, though. One ribbing is fine, but after that it's just pride and bullying.
