Diets suitable for weight loss While you have looked at individual foods, let's also look at how the diet is attuned to personal nutritional needs, too. Diet takes priority when it comes to weight loss; besides regular exercise, what you eat plays a crucial role. Mayo Clinic emphasised the value of finding a sustainable diet that will support you more holistically. It also lists different types of diets, which range from balanced diets, including DASH and Mediterranean diets, where no food is off-limits, to high-protein diets like Paleo, which are restrictive and rely on meats and dairy, making them hard to pursue long-term. Then there are low-carb diets, like keto, which limit carbs. But irrespective of the diet, one of the fundamental aspects of dieting that needs to be followed is maintaining a calorie deficit, eating fewer calories and burning more.

When it comes to weight loss, just hitting the gym in the evening and controlling your diet will not cut it. It seems that what you also need to focus on is making a disciplined morning routine if you really want to achieve your desired weight. Tegan Michelle, a Metabolic Fat Loss Coach who often shares weight loss tips on Instagram, recently shared 5 tips on structuring your mornings in a way that supports your fat loss better. "Mornings set the tone for your entire day. If fat loss, balanced hormones, and sustained energy are your goals, you need to start your day with intention," wrote Michelle in the caption of the video that has received 1.2M views on the social media app. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) What are the 5 morning habits that support weight loss? These are the 5 habits the fat loss coach suggested: Begin the day with lemon or apple cider water Image credits: Getty Images Before drinking coffee, Michelle advises drinking warm lemon water or apple cider vinegar water as it helps stimulate digestion and wake up the gut, flushes out toxins and reduces bloating, alkalizes the body, supports liver detox and stabilises blood sugar. Soak up some Vitamin D Image credits: Getty Images The second habit she suggested was to get sunlight on the skin and in the eyes within 30 minutes of waking up. The body's circadian rhythm plays a massive role in weight loss, and getting sunlight every day will regulate the metabolism, boost serotonin, balance cortisol and improve sleep quality. Stretch and move Image credits: Getty Images While sleeping, the body is at rest for 6-8 hours, and thus getting it in the groove of moving with gentle stretching, mobility work, and yoga can be beneficial. This will improve circulation and digestion, reduce stiffness and inflammation and lower stress. Eat a protein-rich breakfast Image credits: Getty Images Coffee and a bagel are no longer the breakfast norm. If weight loss is your dream, then protein is a must, as otherwise, it can lead to blood sugar crashes, cravings and overeating. A high-protein breakfast will keep you full for longer, stabilise blood sugar, and reduce unnecessary snacking and cravings. Breathe, meditate and set your intentions Image credits: Getty Images According to Michelle, fat loss isn't just about food and movement; it is also related to stress management. Chronic stress can lead to cortisol spikes, which make the body hold on to belly fat. Thus, having calm mornings will help the body lower its cortisol and also improve digestion.
