This question came up on another thread and has had some interesting answers, but I thought I'd try posting it as its own thread.

Have you told others you're on a weight loss program? Have you told others you're doing low carb? If you have, what have the responses been?

I haven't told anyone. I've started so many diets that didn't last! When I've lost enough that people notice and ask, I'll tell them. If they start giving me the "you're going to have a heart attack" speech, I'm going to say it's with a doctor's approval. A fudge, but not quite a lie

What about others?
