Her Diet Plan

The initiator of Pure Results Bootcamp was also very forthcoming with discussing her diet plan. She stated that her breakfast varies from berries with coconut, milk, yogurt to porridge with flax seeds to fruit and veg smoothies. She may also opt for blueberries, walnuts, chia seeds, yogurt and maple syrup breakfast. She also likes including eggs in the breakfast menu. The snacking time usually includes nibbling on homemade protein balls that are always made with raw cacao powder, desiccated coconut and dates or hard boiled eggs. Apples are another snack, she prefers.

Kathryn likes to have a fulfilling lunch that mostly includes sweet potato and salmon fishcakes or a vegetarian curry. She also has a fondness for eating chicken and salad for lunch. Her day ends with cool dinner options like barbecued chicken breasts and some fresh salad or some salmon and fresh vegetables.

Her Health Journey

The Carlow native has admitted that she was an overweight girl when she was into secondary school. Then, she switched to a school where sports were mandatory and her life changed. She spent four or five days a week playing basketball, football, hockey and developed a liking for running as well. Her health journey had a hitch when she went to college as she didn’t concentrate on exercising at all during that time.

Things changed again when Thomas did a sports show named Rapid which included Dublin GAA legend, Jason Sherlock. The show needed her to do rally-driving or bungee-jumping which motivated her to get back to exercising and she hasn’t given up exercising since then.

Her Indulgent Journeys

Kathryn trains two days every week with Siobhan Byrne in BodyByrne Fitness. She never forgets to take her dogs for a walk, twice everyday and does a run through the city with her boyfriend Padraig McLoughlin two times a week.
