369. How To Know If You Set Your Calorie Deficit Up Right?

from Hot, Healthy, Never Hungry · host Lauren Hubert MS, Registered Dietitian

If you've set your calorie deficit but the scale isn't budging… does that mean you did it wrong? So many women immediately assume they need to cut calories lower – but that's not always the answer. In today's episode, I'm breaking down exactly how to tell if your calorie deficit is actually working (or not), so you can stop second-guessing your plan and start making smart, data-driven adjustments. You'll learn: ✅ The key signs your deficit is set up correctly ✅ When weight fluctuations are normal (and when they're not) ✅ How to assess progress whether you track calories or don't log at all Because the truth is there are clear indicators that you're in a calorie deficit, and once you understand them… you don't have to panic or guess your next move.
