> weight loss is simple. It's very difficult

Wait, which one is it? Simple or very difficult. Lol. I think you meant the calorie math is simple.

The opposite of simple is not difficult, it's complex. The opposite of difficult is not simple, it's easy.

Simplicity has to do with the effort needed to understand something, difficulty has to do with the effort needed to perform an action. It's not unusual that something that requires little effort to understand requires a great deal of effort to execute.
