I always break it down to physical weight loss..
This all depends on where you currently are socially. This is no blanket response.
Lets say you're 350 pounds (socially) and you want to get down to a lean 170 pounds (socially).. How long does that take and how much more effort will that take versus someone who is currently 210 pounds (socially) that is trying to get down to 170 pounds(socially) ?
Its all about assessing your current social weight class and holding that up to where you want to be. Its a different answer for everyone.
And then when that guy reaches 170, maybe he wants to pack on some mass. And it's a whole different battle.
The point being, it never stops. These guys who ask how long it takes haven't figured out that "getting good at this" means an entire lifestyle overhaul.
