Introduction:
What you do in the first 90 minutes after waking up can either kickstart your fat-burning engine — or slow it down all day.
At LeanFasting.com, we believe your morning should be a ritual, not a rush.
This blog reveals a science-backed, easy-to-follow morning routine that complements intermittent fasting and gets real results – even before your first bite
Step 1: Wake Up With Purpose (No Snooze Zone)
-
Avoid snoozing → increases cortisol & grogginess
-
Instead: Sit up, stretch, drink water
-
Say a mantra like: “I am in control of my body and my choices today.”
Mindset = your fat loss weapon
Step 2: Rehydrate Like a Pro
After 8 hours of sleep, your body’s dehydrated.
-
Drink 500ml lukewarm water + pinch of pink salt
-
Optionally add lemon or apple cider vinegar (won’t break fast)
Benefits: Jumpstarts metabolism, flushes toxins, supports digestion
Step 3: Light Movement or Fasted Cardio
Move before your first meal — your body taps into stored fat for fuel.
Options:
-
20-min walk
-
5 rounds of Surya Namaskar
-
Low-intensity yoga/stretching
Fasted cardio is to belly fat reduction
Step 4: Black Coffee or Green Tea (Optional)
-
Boost metabolism
-
Suppress appetite
-
Improve focus for the day
But no milk/sugar/sweeteners — otherwise it breaks your fast!
Step 5: Brain Fuel – Journal, Visualize or Read
Successful people don’t just train their bodies — they train their minds.
-
Write down 3 things you’re grateful for
-
Visualize your goal body or day
-
Read for 10 minutes (personal growth or health-based)
This builds consistency & motivation for long-term transformation.
