    I usually say something like "It's a fair amount of work at first, but it's worth every second!"

    I never understood that stance anyway. It's not that much work, I mean, building a house from scratch by hand is a lot of work, or designing an operating system, or writing a book, but learning how to count calories and exercise? Come on, that's pretty minimal if you ask me, it's a little at the start, but after a couple of weeks, it's no harder than any other daily activity.

    I say "clean living." And usually I get a smile and a laugh, and then that topic is done. They really don't want to hear how, unless it's some magic pill, or exotic fruit that's blended into a shake. Now the ones that continue to ask and really want to know how, that is when I go into the explanation and spend time explaining the process.

    Except substitute "the good old fashioned way... they have a app for that!"
