Do check your phone your first instinct if you open your eyes? The stroke after the alarm after the alarm may be scrolled slightly between them, just to run the late, crush coffee and grab everything that remains in the refrigerator for breakfast? And then later, you think your late evening is a gym to replenish this? If your goal is a fat loss, you need to prioritize as you start your day, not just how you finish it. As you start your day, it gives the tone everything that follows, making a disciplined morning routine important if weight loss is your goal.

Tegan Michelle, a metabolic loss coach that regularly shares weight loss tips on Instagram, shared 5 tips on how to structure its mornings to better maintain fat loss:
Here are 5 ways to start in the morning:
1. Start the day with lemon or apple cider vinegar
While coffee or tea is a morning drink, there are healthier drinks as recommends a tag: “Start your day with lemon or apple cider vinegar. Before you get to coffee, moisten the body! Drink warm lemon water or apple cider vinegar (ACV) water first.”
Tegan list 3 benefits drinking lemon or apple cider vinegar:
- Stimulate digestion and wake up into the gut
- Throw away toxins and reduce bloating
- Alkali and maintain liver detoxification
- Stabilization of blood sugar (which helps with thrust later on this day)
2. The sunlight
Sunlight is not just for your golden Selfie hours at dusk. Getting sunlight in the morning helps regulate your internal hours.
“Get sunlight on the skin and in the eyes. Your circus rhythm (it is your inner clock) plays a big role in losing weight,” said Tagan.
She found 4 preferences to get sunlight within 30 minutes after waking up
- Regulates your metabolism
- Increases serotonin (your hormone “feel good”)
- Helps balance cortisol (prevents storage of fat)
- Improves sleep quality (which is crucial for fat loss)
3. Pull and move the body
If you slept in a strange position, from clapping on your stomach to twisting, like a croissant, a good stretch in the morning helps to cancel tension and rigidity. Tehan added: “Your body remains for 6-8 hours, moving to stretching, mobility or yoga work in the morning.”
Here are the other advantages of stretching in the morning as Tehan was shared:
- Improves circulation and digestion
- Reduces stiffness and inflammation
- Reduces stress (which helps with stubborn storage of fat)
4. Eat, rich with protein breakfast
The capture of coffee or residues from last night may seem convenient, especially if you run late, but it can apply chaos to your health, potentially acting as a failure and for your weight loss progress. That is why breakfast is important, rich in protein.
The fat loss coach warned: “If you are still starting your morning with coffee and bagel, we need to talk. The protein band for breakfast can cause blood sugar, cravings and overeating later on this day.”
Benefits of breakfast high protein content:
- Keeps you full and satisfied
- Stabilizes blood sugar (bye, in the middle of the morning)
- Reduces unnecessary snack and craving
5. Breathe, reflect or set your intentions
Careful beginnings set the tone a day. Taking a few moments to practice yoga or meditation helps.
She wrote: “Fat loss is not just what you eat and how you move – it’s about how you control stress. Chronic stress leads to cortisol spikes, which makes your body hold on to your belly fat.”
Tehran shared the way it starts in the morning calmly and intentionally helps:
- Lower cortisol (so your body is not in storage mode)
- Improve digestion (stress closes it)
