Exercise:

Exercising in the morning helps to increase blood flow and gets your metabolism going to burn more fat. It also helps in showing up every day for yourself and stay motivated.

A high-protein breakfast:

Have a high protein breakfast instead of sugary cereals; sugary cereals can cause spike in your body sugar which can lead to excessive cravings and snacking throughout the day. Eating a high protein meal as your first meal of the day ensures satiety for longer hours, eliminates cravings and helps in maintaining muscle mass.

Sunlight exposure:

Always get sunlight exposure, as it improves your vitamin D levels and supports fat metabolism- spend 10-15mins in natural sunlight.

Meditation:

This can help in reducing stress levels in the body, which can further normalise the sleep cycle and the circadian rhythm of the body. Lower stress levels can help in faster fat loss, and more motivation.
