Tegan Michelle, a metabolic fat loss coach with over 6,500 followers on Instagram, garnered attention last week for sharing five morning tips to help make the fat loss process more effective.

"Your morning shapes your whole day. If you want to lose fat, balance hormones, and maintain energy, start your day purposefully," Michelle wrote in the caption of a video that garnered 1.2 million views on social media.

Here are five habits that Michelle suggests:

Start your day with lemon water or apple cider vinegar.

Before drinking coffee, Michelle recommends drinking warm lemon water or apple cider vinegar water.

This type of beverage helps stimulate digestion and "awaken" the gut, supporting detoxification, reducing bloating, alkalizing the body, assisting the liver in eliminating toxins, and stabilizing blood sugar.

Get some early morning sun to absorb vitamin D.

The second habit she suggests is to expose yourself to sunlight—both through your skin and eyes—within 30 minutes of waking up. The body's circadian rhythm plays a crucial role in weight loss.

Absorbing natural light in the morning helps regulate metabolism, boost serotonin, balance cortisol levels, and improve sleep quality.

Gentle exercise

After a night's sleep of 6-8 hours, the body needs to be awakened with stretching exercises, flexibility training, or gentle yoga. This helps improve blood circulation, aids digestion, and reduces muscle stiffness, inflammation, and stress.

Eat a protein-rich breakfast.

Coffee and bagels are no longer the popular breakfast choice. If you're trying to lose weight, protein is essential, as a lack of protein can cause hypoglycemia, cravings, and overeating.

A protein-rich breakfast helps you feel fuller for longer, stabilizes blood sugar levels, and reduces snacking and unnecessary cravings.

Breathe, meditate, and set goals for the day.

According to Michelle, fat loss isn't just about diet and exercise; it's also closely linked to stress management. Prolonged stress increases cortisol levels, causing the body to accumulate belly fat.

Therefore, maintaining a peaceful morning through activities such as breathing exercises, meditation, and setting goals for the day can help reduce cortisol levels while improving digestion and overall health.
