“Lose weight - Cement better habits - Develop a positive relationship with food ”

Nutritionist Paula Duggan

I’m Paula Duggan and I am a Nutritionist based in Kerry. I specialise in nutrition coaching, weight loss, workplace wellness and I also offer nutrition & sports nutrition talks in schools. I am based in Dingle however, I work with clients predominantly online and in addition I travel all over Ireland for corporate work & school talks.
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. In other words I enjoy my food.
There are so many extremes in the world of nutrition, honestly I find a lot of it very negative. I really try to encourage inclusion as opposed to exclusion, its a much more positive approach. So yes to clarify, I eat meat, dairy, carbohydrates & gluten!
My nutrition & weight loss programs help women piece it all together. My programs are easy to follow. I offer clients lots of support & encouragement, practical tips & ideas and lots of simple & tasty recipes. Lastly, you will also get a good dose of my personality & sense of humour! In other words, I am not a boring Nutritionist!

Some salad inspo! Blue cheese (Cashel Blue is my fav), Granny Smith apple and everything else in the salad drawer ... I usually add a small handful of walnuts or pecans but I am all out, so I added a few raisins instead for a different texture and a tsp of extra virgin olive oil. Lots of black pepper an a little balsamic vinegar. Melon or pear and walnut works really well too!

Hey, I love chocolate (and cake!) too but somethin

Hey, I love chocolate (and cake!) too but something I really encourage is to look beyond chocolate as a treat ... there are lots of delicious, gourmet, luxury foods that are healthy but can be seen as a treat too. For example, something like crab claws, basically foods we might not eat very often ... or foods we might associate with restaurants or special occasions ... whatever the case, look forward to crab claws or prawns pil pil or a fillet steak as your treat this weekend! This can be the focal point of your treat so if you do want some chocolate too, you can make it small!

Shellfish is high in protein, low in fat and calories and they are delicious!

Pan-fry with a little olive oil, lots of garlic, chilli flakes if you like heat and once on the plate butter them lightly!!! Depending on whether they are a starter, lunch or main, you can serve with salad or salad an a dice o brown bread ...

There is no magic bullet in nutrition, the additio

There is no magic bullet in nutrition, the addition of one or two “superfoods” will make little or no difference to your health, it’s the overall diet that really counts!

Nutritionally speaking, there is no such thing as a superfood. It’s really a marketing term coined to influence food trends and sell products.

Though many foods could be described as “super”, it’s important to understand that no one single food holds the key to good health or disease prevention.

Lastly, when you google superfood lists, it must be said all foods on these lists tend to be very healthy foods and should indeed be included in your diet!! However, blueberries or goji berries just won’t cut it all by themselves!!

Love this, surround yourself with like minded people!!! In my experience as a Nutritionist and weight loss coach, (although we are all different), I do hear about the same challenges and difficulties over and over again.

For sure everyone has the same goals ... weight loss, gaining control, developing a positive relationship with food, understanding food better, overcoming the cycle of being very good and then inevitably falling off the wagon!

Thanks @fionaodonnell.ie for great sharing great quote!

A client recently told me that they read somewhere

A client recently told me that they read somewhere that it is not all about motivation its more about habits!! I couldn’t agree more, I’ve always said motivation is over rated!!

People don't have this magic motivation to exercise 5 times a week but if its part of routine it will happen whether motivated or not.

Yes, draw motivation from wherever you can, a blue sky, music, the need to clear your head, the need to burn off energy, weight loss, whatever ... BUT stop waiting to feel motivated, very few people would be exercising if we only did it when we felt motivated.

Cementing healthy habits is more important. Just do it!

I possibly even prefer vegetarian food, I possibly

I possibly even prefer vegetarian food, I possibly eat more vegetarian food but I certainly am also a meat lover. Sometimes, I think people unnecessarily put themselves in these boxes ... if it is tasty and nourishing it’s good enough for me!

▶️ Yes ... less meat and more beans but that’s not the same as nothing but beans! Variety is huge in terms of nutrition and maintaining an interest in healthy eating and food in general!!

▶️ People come to me and complain about boredom a lot ... of course you will get bored if you eat the same food all the time ....

BEAN, KALE & TOMATO RED THAI CURRY - so hearty & tasty - definitely one to share with my Healthy Eating Clubbers and weight loss clients this Friday for the week ahead!

Honestly if someone told me to eat in terms of macros I think I would either fall asleep from boredom or cry! A new client rang me last week and said I don’t want to count macros ... neither do I 🤣

If I can’t fit in the exercise without them ... I’ll do it with them .. it’s better than nothing and it’s great for them!

•No one food is responsible for weight gain.

•Reducing certain things in your diet is much more likely to be successful as opposed to removing completely. CRAVINGS - are caused by not allowing yourself something! Complete exclusion and restriction of treats or bread or carbs or whatever .... will only lead to obsession and cravings for same!

•Instead allowing the odd small mindful treat works much better. Decide to have it, eat it slowly, savour it, enjoy it and move on, nothing to see here and nothing to feel bad about!!

BEEF & VEG STIR-FRY .... notice I didn’t just ca

BEEF & VEG STIR-FRY .... notice I didn’t just call it beef stir-fry! Half our plate is meant to be veg ... people tend to focus on protein and carb and kinda forget about the veggies!!

My recipe - no sauces or packets, just real ingredients bursting with flavor and color!

1. Fry strips of sirloin beef & set aside

2. Fry red onions & then rest of veg

3. Add
... lots of garlic
... lots of ginger grated
... little chilli or a lot of you like heat and aren’t cooking for smallies! * If you don’t have fresh Chilli just use a chilli mill

4. If you can get Bok Choy or Pak Choi (Chinese cabbage) - add now - I love it - I discovered in Australia and I love the flavor and texture it adds to a stir-fry

5. Add the beef back in now

6. Add light soy sauce, juice of 1/2 lime and a little boiling water to create a little sauciness!

7. Serve with whole-wheat noodles

8. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top (which just makes it look nice - me think!)

Something I get asked a lot! Can you eat carbs aft

Something I get asked a lot! Can you eat carbs after a certain time! Yes!

1/4 of an avocado is considered an appropriate por

1/4 of an avocado is considered an appropriate portion! That approx 80 calories, many people eat half, some eat the whole thing. Avocados are very healthy, as are nuts, healthy fats should certainly be included in the daily diet, but portion size is very important! People tend to be more aware of carbohydrate portions and don’t really think about the healthy fats ...
