Selter never skips breakfast. “Regardless if I am in serious exercise mode or not; eating healthy is always a part of my daily routine,” she says. “A typical day for me starts with either oatmeal, or egg whites and toast for breakfast. I truly believe breakfast is the most important meal. It provides the energy I need to keep me going for hours and keep me as productive as possible! For lunch, I usually will have a salad with tons of veggies. The more colorful the salad, the better!”
2. Protein and Vegetables For Dinner

Selter enjoys protein-packed dinners with dark chocolate for dessert. “In between lunch and dinner I always have a protein bar; it's the easiest snack to refuel with and the easiest to have when on the go,” she says. “Dinners are always different. I will have anything from a nice pasta dish, grilled chicken and veggies, a nice steak -- or of course, my absolute favorite, sushi! In terms of dessert, dark chocolate is definitely my go-to.”
3. Cardio and Strength
Selter does a combination of cardio and strength exercises five times a week. "Results don’t happen overnight," she says. "But they do happen with hard work, dedication and keeping consistent. Stay consistent with your workouts and never stop trying. I like to separate my training into leg day, upper body, core and cardio. I always work out for an hour."
4. No Alcohol

Selter is strict about avoiding alcohol as part of her diet, and isn’t interested in nightlife and drinking culture. "I know I should be going out and networking," she says. "But I’d rather stay at home and watch Netflix."
5. Get Those Glutes
Selter says there are no short-cuts to getting her enviable glutes. “Consistency leads to results,” she says. “Diet is also important. I eat every few hours to keep my metabolism running and I try to stay away from overly processed foods. Lots of lean meat, vegetables and fresh fruit. Fitness is a lifestyle. You must be mentally prepared to commit to it and be consistent with your health and fitness lifestyle in order to see results and as we know results don't happen overnight.”
