On April 9, Crystal shared an Instagram post noting down the positive signs that show that calorie deficit diet is at work and is helping in weight loss. “If the scale doesn’t move for 2 days, you’re ready to cut your calories in half and start doing 90 minutes of fasted cardio⁣. But I need you to chill out for a sec.⁣ If these things are happening,⁣ your deficit’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to and you need to keep your hands off the dial,” she wrote.

1. Your clothes are fitting better

Hunger is part of the deal.⁣ If you’re not eyeing your dog’s dish with a twinge of jealousy, you’re fine.⁣

3. You're not crashing at 3 PM drained out of energy

⁣Energy is steady, you feel capable, and you’re not questioning your life choices.⁣

4. You like your workouts:

You might not be setting world records, but you’re still strong, moving well, and not crying between sets.⁣ Also read | Fitness coach who dropped 9 kilos, shares 10 calorie deficit hacks that can help in faster weight loss

“If all of this is happening and you’re still panicking because the scale is being dramatic?⁣ Breathe.⁣ Stay consistent.⁣ Don’t change a damn thing.⁣ Your whoosh is coming.⁣ Don’t delay it by quitting or trying to rush the process.⁣,” Crystal added.
