3 Best Morning Rituals For Weight Loss

By Craig Ballantyne | 01/15/2016 |

Here’s a riddle for you…

What’s strong in the morning when we don’t need it, weak in the evening when we need it the most, and yet still powerful all the time?

Hint: It’s what keeps you on track at the start of the day… and what causes you to eat cookies in the afternoon.

The answer?

It’s your …

WILLPOWER!

Our willpower is strong in the morning when we’re too busy to be tempted by chocolate chip cookies and glasses of wine…

But as the day goes on, our daily decisions use up our limited amount of willpower, and when it comes time for us to make dinner … and we’re a little hungry… our willpower deserts us when we need it the most.

And that’s why we breakdown and skip our post-work exercise session and why we have those afternoon cookies… and that extra glass of wine at night… and then sometimes more cookies!

Listen, it’s not your fault.

That’s just how the human brain was designed.

So we have to work around that…

Here are the 3 best fat burning rituals to do in the morning to boost weight loss:

#1 – Do your short, burst TT workouts BEFORE life gets in the way.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a busy parent or if you have a really busy job, chances are that something is going to come up at 4pm or 5pm that gets in the way of your workout at night.

So make morning exercise into a daily ritual.

Get your day off to a guilt-free start so that you’re burning fat 24/7.

#2 – Make your first meal your best meal.

Don’t eat dessert for breakfast. Skip the muffins, Pop Tarts, and even cereals (they often have more sugar than a soda!).

Eat protein and whole, natural fruits and vegetables (but skip the high-sugar, low-fiber juices). For example, I often have scrambled eggs, a side of steamed spinach (with olive oil), and pineapple or an apple. That keeps me full for four hours.

A great breakfast also gives you a secret fat-burning boost called “The Second Meal Effect.” When you eat a high-protein, high-fiber breakfast, you’ll be less hungry at lunch and dinner… all while burning off more calories from the protein and fiber.

That’s a TRIPLE-whammy for losing belly fat.

#3 – Get up a few minutes earlier and use these 3 essential success secrets.

If you get up 5-15 minutes before everyone else, you’ll have to time to PLAN your day, to VISUALIZE success, and to OVERCOME the obstacles in your way.

So sneak out of bed before the hubby, wifey, dog, & kiddos get up, so that you OWN your mornings and WIN your day.

This last little secret makes a HUGE difference in your success. You’ll be AHEAD of the game, rather than always trying to catch up.

You’ll have The Perfect Day.

I’ve spent my entire life creating what I call The Perfect Day Formula. It shows you how to transform your life, lose weight faster, earn more money, and have more time for your family at night. It IS possible.

Here’s proof…

“For those of us who oscillate between big ambitions and a constant panic that the days are slipping away, The Perfect Day Formula is both a wake-up call and a prescription for getting on track. So many self-help and career books are praised for telling us what we already know — for giving us “helpful reminders.” Thank goodness this isn’t one of those. Craig has new and sometimes unusual strategies for corralling the chaos of daily life in order to achieve our higher goals. The Perfect Day Formula gives you the methods (and in my case, the confidence) to set boundaries, be firm with yourself, and fiercely protect your schedule, so that you can build your empire AND have time for the things that matter: family, hobbies, and experiences. I’ve already started putting many other principles into play and have successfully achieved one Perfect Day. I’m looking forward to reaping many more in the New Year!” – Chelsea Bush

PS – Believe in the power of your mornings to upgrade your life!

“Like most people, I struggled with distractions. But Craig’s Perfect Day Formula, helped me focus on what really matters and get back on course. I’ve always been a morning person but Perfect Day Formula. drove home the necessity to make it a lifestyle and not just be a ‘morning person in short spurts’ before defaulting to sloppy habits again. It’s also perfect for using with parishioners that I mentor spiritually. We can review a segment and then look for ways to implement. As a coach I am always looking for fresh ways to inspire and equip people to become the best version of themselves. Craig has nailed the power of ‘morning.’ Jesus has always been a model of what the scriptures called, “rising a great while before day.’ Jesus enjoyed solitude and all that it provides, and Craig has shown you how to take advantage of this. If you want to upgrade your life, overcome a mediocre existence, and live life by design and not by default, then you MUST use Craig’s formula.” – Luciano Del Monte, Pastor and Coach (ACC), Guelph, Ontario, Canada
