Why mornings matter
Mornings set:
- stress levels
- appetite signals
- energy rhythm
A chaotic morning often leads to cravings later.
Step 1: Hydration first
Start with:
- water
- optional coffee or tea
No rush. No rules.
Step 2: Light movement
5–10 minutes is enough:
- walking
- stretching
- mobility
Movement reduces hunger signals for many people.
Step 3: Delay decisions
Don’t decide food too early.
Let hunger show up naturally instead of forcing it.
Step 4: Keep mornings boring
Predictable mornings reduce:
- decision fatigue
- emotional eating
- stress-driven cravings
Boring is powerful.
The calm takeaway
A good fasting routine doesn’t start with food.
It starts with structure.
