“I believe food should be enjoyed, but be fussy about what you eat – nourish your body with the best”

Paula Duggan Balance Nutrition

I’m Paula Duggan and I am a Nutritionist based in Kerry. I specialise in nutrition coaching, weight loss coaching, workplace wellness and I also offer Healthy Eating talks in schools. Although I am based in Dingle I work with most clients online and I travel all over Ireland for Corporate Nutrition.
While I am extremely passionate about nutrition, I have a very balanced and relaxed approach to my diet and I most definitely consider myself a foodie.
I eat meat, dairy, carbohydrates & as I am not allergic to gluten, I eat that too. There are so many extremes in the world of nutrition, eating healthy simply seems unachievable to most people.
I help women piece it all together, I guess you could say I have a no-nonsense approach. No more guilt please!

APPRECIATE GOOD FOOD, FEEL GREAT & GET SOME CONTROL BACK AGAIN!

✨Don’t put everyone else before yourself, I think women do this a lot! However, if you invest in yourself, you are investing in your family too, if you are happy, they will be happy. ✨Also, you will be setting a good example to your kids, if you are invested in your health they are more likely to follow suit. ✨Healthy eating and fitness should not just be about weight loss ... it should also be about health and basically just feeling better and feeling better about yourself! ✨ Be good to yourself ... invest in yourself ... invest in your future

✨Cook porridge to your liking 💫 Add cinnamon ✨Pan-fry banana slices on a non-stick pan (I didn’t use any oil), keep an eye on it, turn quickly so it doesn’t stick. 💫 Top porridge with the yummy gooey sweet banana. It’s not really required for sweetness as the banana is sweet enough it you could drizzle over a little maple syrup for optics if you wish. ✨Kids love this one ❤️

Some salad inspiration for these colder days! I absolutely love salad, it is a great way to get more plant food into your diet and I’m not taking about going vegan when I say this, I literally mean increase veg and all plant food for a healthier gut, heart and body! The other great thing is literally anything goes! 💫

FYI Cheese, fruit and nuts tend to make a great combo. If you really don’t think you can do salad in winter add Cajun chicken or pan fried prawns or a soft boiled egg. You can also toast the nuts on a dry pan for an a little warmth on your salad.

I always tell my clients that I am more interested

I always tell my clients that I am more interested in changing their habits, behaviors, lifestyle, mindset, attitude and expectations than I am in the actual number on the scales. ✨

The number will come if you can figure out the rest! Now granted we all know that it’s not that easy “to figure it out”, but that’s exactly why you should put your focus on the process and not just the weighing scales!!! If nothing else you will be healthier if you eat healthy, you are setting a good example to your kids if you eat healthy, they are more likely to eat healthy if you do and in my experience people feel better when they eat well.

There are of course exceptions for example athletes, carb loading for events, if you are trying to gain weight or you have certain medical issues ... but for the rest of us, it’s definitely a good idea to consume the very majority of your calories from food as food tends to be a lot more satiating (filling)! #nutrition #balance #tips #calories #satiety #strategy #eggs #protein #filling #liquidcalories

Eating mindfully is something I talk to clients about a lot, if you eat slowly... you will be surprised to find that you are full before you realize and before you finish a lot of meals. Some tips! .
✨
. •Chew your food at least 10 times, some will tell you (30!! That’s tough but give it a go!) .
✨
. •Actually really tune into eating, the food, the taste, the texture .
✨
. •If you are alone, even close your eyes and really savour the food (this might look a bit weird if in company!!) .
✨
. •Some people will tell me they are really tasting food for the first time, enjoying food more and feeling fuller although eating less. Don’t underestimate the power of mindful eating

GOT A FUSSY EATER?? How to get your kids to ✨Eat

GOT A FUSSY EATER?? How to get your kids to ✨Eat salad ✨Be adventurous ✨Have a more varied diet .
✨
.
Well I have always put together boards or picnics like this for my kids, often out of sheer desperation because there is no bread for lunch or no time to cook a lunch! .
💫
.
What I love about this concept is there are no rules, I take every jar out of the fridge (beetroot, pickles, olives), chopped veggies, cheese, nuts, fresh fruit, series fruit, nuts, leftover pasta, bread, crackers .... literally whatever! .
💫
.
They really enjoy them, they take what they want, there is no pressure but they watch each and end up trying something new. It’s a bit of fun and an enjoyable way to eat. If it’s summer time the board is put outside (another bonus!!) .

I can’t emphasize this enough with clients, people are so hard on themselves! Give yourself a break, if you lost weight (no matter how small) you made progress, you were in calorie deficit .... 1Ib a week is 52Ibs in a year & 1/2Ib a week is 26Ibs in a year and who knows you may have enjoyed the fact that you didn’t have to starve yourself to achieve that 😘. .

This is one of my favorite posts that I’ve seen

This is one of my favorite posts that I’ve seen over the last week or so ... never mind the bulls**t, keep the faith, good old fashioned healthy eating (with portion control & calorie awareness!!!), combined with exercise is the long term winner, and despite what people may think is actually the easier road, why give up things like carbs when you really don’t need to, hey, I like pasta and I like food too!! .

Cajun chicken salad - so tasty & easy!! ➡️Simply cut chicken breast into strips so it cooks faster, sprinkle with Cajun spice and pan fry, compile a salad and top with chicken, a warm salad is nice this time of the year .... chicken is really high in protein and thus makes your salad more satisfying, enjoy!

2020! ➡️First off ... don’t make ridiculous

2020! ➡️First off ... don’t make ridiculous unrealistic goals and rules that will inevitably set you up for failure. Yes, 1 in a million people will decide to do an Ironman this year and will do it but most of us will say I’m going to go to the gym every day and not do it. So just commit to doing more exercise, what is realistic for you? Maybe ... 30 minutes ... 3 times a week? Pick something you like, not something you see as torture!! ➡️Start small, get out of the house tomorrow, get some fresh air, just move!!!! ➡️ Dump all the junk, don’t look at it as a waste of money, leftover junk is a waste of money whether you eat it or not!! ➡️Go food shopping, fill the trolley with veg, salad & fruit ➡️Plan a nice healthy salad like a Cajun chicken salad tomorrow, drink lots of 💦 ➡️If you are off for the next few days use the time to do some batch cooking to take the pressure off in the evenings over the next few weeks
