Thank you for your question. If you are unable to tell the truth and express that something is against your faith or not recommended in your faith, then you can choose your words such that the person you are speaking to understands one thing, and at the same time you are not directly lying. This is called tawriya in Arabic and is permissible.
May you always be successful.
