6:45 A.M.:

Head to the gym before you eat. Exercisers who held off on breakfast burned almost 20% more body fat during their workouts.  See if it works for you.

7:00 A.M.

Do weights followed by cardio activity within 20 minutes of each other. That's the formula for the most fat-burning. Cardio activity done two hours later or more doesn't have the same payoff.

8:00 A.M.

Have a protein breakfast. Aim for 35 grams. Try Greek yogurt, with 18 grams per serving; two turkey sausage links with toast and 14 walnut halves.

Drink water.  Even mild dehydration may slow down calorie burn.

Smell something soothing. The scents of essential oils—like lavendar.  It may lower fat-promoting stress. Sprinkle a few drops on a cotton ball.

Lights out. If you're trying to drop pounds, too little sleep may cause you to lose significantly less fat than lean tissue. Getting enough shut-eye shifts the balance toward more fat and less lean loss.
