Lock the inputs: a protein‑fiber breakfast, daylight, and short walks.

Summary

• 30‑30‑30: aim ~30 g protein at breakfast, eat within ~30–90 min of waking, add fiber and a brief walk.
• Daylight protocol: deliberate indoor‑to‑outdoor light early; add a short timer‑based exposure.
• Defaults over motivation: precommit 2 breakfast options, set walk alerts, place shades/timer by the door.

FAQ

What if 30 g protein feels too much?

Start at 20 g and progress; keep fiber in the mix. Consistency beats intensity.

Window light vs outdoor—does it matter?

Outdoor is usually stronger; if indoors, choose the brightest window and shorten screen exposure until after daylight.

Do I have to eat immediately after waking?

Many feel fine within 30–90 minutes. Personalize to appetite and schedule.

How long should the walk be?

Even 3 minutes helps to break sitting. Build toward 10 minutes when you can.

Will this fix sleep or weight by itself?

No single lever fixes everything. This aligns key inputs. Combine with your broader plan and medical guidance where needed.
