Why tell them anything?
If they say wow you look great, are you on a diet? Say "thanks!, naw just watching what I eat here lately." (remember this isn't a diet, it *IS* a way of life.)
If they question what you are eating, simply say "oh yeah, well I don't feel like eating <insert high carb food name here> today. Just not in the mood sorta thing. Or "Oh yeah I had that last night, I don't want it two days in a row", and leave it at that.
I doubt anyone will get into an argument over you not eating something unless you make an issue of...I am on a low carb diet, I can't have that.
I remember my father-in-laws wife (I refuse to call that woman my mother-in-law) was here during the summer and noticed I had lost a lot of weight. When I told her I was on a low carb diet, she proceeded the 8 days she was here, to tell me how when she was on a diet she lost 25 pounds and could eat ANYTHING SHE WANTED. I tried to be as polite as I could in not mentioning the fact that technically she only lost 5 pounds since she put 20 of it back on. For Christmas this year she bought me a cookie cookbook, not low carb of course.
