Melk, I understand your problem. It's hard not to want to discuss dieting with your friends and acquaintances because, let's face it, dieting is a big topic these days. Everyone seems to have an opinion too which doesn't make it any easier. If you're not around food it's much easier to avoid the topic totally, but if you're in a social situation and your friends ask you why youdon't have a piece of cake or a cookie ..."One little taste can't hurt you" it's difficult to explain. I think your best answer would be to say, "My doctor wants me to limit the amount of carbohydrates I take in and I DO feel better when I avoid sweets and starches". No need to even mention weight loss.
If they also question why you're avoiding bread, you can simply say "I seem to have developed an allergy to wheat products"...no need to mention the carbo factor at all.
Hope this helps.
