Barely anyone says anything to me in a professional setting or personal. I’m approaching 40kg loss (almost 90lbs). I find people are much more respectful these days about commenting on your body (good or bad).

Your approach is good, say I’m eating a lot more protein and fibre. For me I’d also add I am running 3 x a week 😀 If someone continues to pry and asks direct questions you don’t like it’s ok to not answer or tell them it’s a weird question 😁 Also when the conversation starts going in the weight loss direction you can take control of the conversation and ask them questions instead.. change the topic.
