I was completely vigilant about cheeses, etc when I first started Parnate. But I have since read that you have to eat a lot of cheese (3 oz or more) to set off a reaction. I learned that you can have up to 1/4 cup of soy sauce, so I started eating sushi again. I now eat small amounts of parmesan on spaghetti, small amounts of feta on salads. I stay away from aged meats, but then I never liked salami or pepperoni anyway. The food restrictions are really pretty minimal. Even if you want to be vigilant, mozzeralla and american cheese aren't aged and are fine, so you could have a slice of pizza. Going without other cheeses and aged meats (which are all high in salt and fat anyway) is not really a hardship.
