This month the SELF Dinner Club decided to do something a little different.
We spent an entire day following healthy living advice from our phones…using theSELF Diet Tapper!
We started out with a helpful reminder at 7:00 am to eat something before we dash to work.
(Your metabolism is higher in the AM, so load up with a 350-calorie breakfast first thing!)
The fiber means staying full until lunchtime and the pomegranate and raspberries are excellent sources of disease-fighting antioxidants.
Make steel-cut oats in a slow cooker overnight for a speedy breakfast in the AM.
For Amanda, it was simple: a cup of blueberries and OJ.
Next step: a frittata or whole grain cereal to get a dose of protein and fiber!
We eachworked up a sweatby doing something we love before work.
Amanda took her pup (aw!!)
for a long walk.
Here’s Katherine, after her favorite spin class.
Allison ran a mile on the treadmill and then did SELF’s Reach Your Goal hiking workout.
Sarah headed outside for a run in Central Park.
The beautiful scenery means a motivation boost.
12:00…time for lunch!
Sarah packed a Swiss and salami sandwich on whole wheat bread with Dijon mustard.
Bonus: eating two servings of whole grains a day significantly decreases risk of cardiovascular disease.
Katherine’s lunch of salad with chickpeas and feta and a veggie burger was a smart choice.
According to research, those who eat chickpeas eat fewer high-fat foods afterwards.
Allison chose tuna with lettuce and tomato on a multigrain roll.
Having a stressful day?
Tuna packs a boatload of vitamin b12, which can help you relax.
Amanda noshed on a spinach quiche with a side of chicken noodle soup.
Lose motivation to make lunch in the AM?
Dish up quiche for dinner and save leftovers for the next day.
In the morning, it’s just grab and go.
Try thissalmon and asparagus frittatarecipe for a healthy meal that easily transitions from dinner to breakfast.
Avoid an afternoon slump by remembering to drink!
We filled up on almonds and a coffee after getting our DRINK text.
Did you move today?
We worked out in the morning, but took a break to squeeze in someextra exercise.
Here we are on a brisk stroll in outside the office.
Sunny day, beautiful park…we could get used to this!
End of the day and time for dinner.
In traditional Dinner Club fashion, we chose a meal from SELF and got cooking.
This month, we made a specialSELF Diet Tapperrecipe: honey-mustard salmon over wild rice.
Oh, and did we mention it only took us 20 minutes?
Easiest dinner club yet!
When choosing salmon at your local grocery store, opt for Alaskan wild salmon over Atlantic salmon.
Atlantic salmon are more likely to be farmed and could be contaminated–Alaskan salmon is a fresh bet!
Less than 20 minutes later and voila!
Our easy breezySELF Diet Tappermeal was ready.
(And don’t forget to finish off your meal with a 4 oz.
A Dinner Club staple.)
