“I did a strict Atkins diet. Strict, strict, strict.” Kim was on Atkins 40 diet plan, which she had already followed with her dad when she was in high school. Kim said in an interview that after having her second child, she told herself, “I want to feel sexy again, I want to feel good about myself.” Moreover, she also had a date set for shooting the cover of a magazine. Naturally, she wanted to shape up before the deadline. Kim Kardashian told WWD, “I mean I love to workout and you definitely have to workout to tone up, but so much of it is how you eat. I had to really stay focused. I had to cut out all the sweets, and I had such a sweet tooth.”

Atkins diet is a low-carb meal plan that focuses on reducing appetite and burning fat quickly. It may also lead to improved blood sugar levels and reduced insulin spikes, making for a good strategy to lose weight. Interestingly, a study conducted to determine the efficacy of this low-carbohydrate diet found that the Atkins diet is helpful for both short-term and long-term weight loss. This shows that the Atkins diet can be a great strategy for weight control (1). Here’s the list of foods Kim K relished during her weight loss phase.

Quick Tip

The Atkins diet is a low-carbohydrate diet developed in the 1960s by cardiologist Robert C. Atkins. It restricts carbohydrates while focusing on protein and fats.

Colette Heimowitz Tip

– Eat 5-6 times a day to stave off hunger and the temptation to cheat. Follow a low-carb diet so that the body burns fat for fuel.

Now, there are speculations that Kim Kardashian used weight loss pills to lose 70 pounds so quickly. Well, here’s what we found out.

Kim Kardashian Weight Loss Pills

Kim Kardashian is rumored to have taken Garcinia cambogia weight loss pills. Garcinia cambogia tastes tangy and is a tropical fruit that recently gained the reputation as a weight loss booster. A study highlighted that consuming Garcinia cambogia for the long-term can lead to weight loss and reduction in both fat mass and visceral fat. It also revealed that it helped improve lipid and blood glucose profiles in overweight and obese individuals (2). Also, Kim drank green coffee, like Oprah Winfrey, to lose the baby weight quickly and effectively. The names of the brands that Kim is speculated to have used are Refresh Garcinia and Green Coffee Cleanse. If you want to use these pills, please consult your dietician or doctor. And I suggest you use products that are FDA approved.

Kim did a tremendous job at losing the weight, with or without pills. But there is one thing no one can deny – Kim Kardashian was also supported and motivated by the best weight loss coach/nutritionist. Colette Heimowitz is a wizard. And here are a few of her magical advises to all those who are on a weight loss mission. Don’t miss this out!

Kim Kardashian Weight Loss Tips

• Say No To Sugar And Starch

I know, it’s tough but not impossible. Take baby steps and start avoiding sugar and starchy foods (3). You should also cut down on high glycemic index fruits such as mango, jackfruit, and grapes (4). Avoid pasta, bread, croissant, processed food, sweets, refined sugar etc.

• Consume Healthy Fats

Do not avoid all fats thinking consuming fat will make you gain weight. In fact, consuming the right kind of fats can help you to lose weight! Healthy fats such as omega-3-fatty acids in fish oil and fish, peanut butter, flaxseed, nuts, sunflower seeds, sunflower butter, pumpkin seeds, rice bran oil, olive oil, and avocado help to reduce inflammation. This, in turn, helps inhibit inflammation-induced weight gain (5).

• Protein Is A Must

Every meal you eat should contain a portion of protein. Eggs, tofu, mushroom, lentils, beans, fish, chicken breast, turkey, seeds, milk, and nuts are a great source of protein. Proteins are tough to digest and therefore will keep your hunger pangs at bay. It will also help you shed fat and build lean muscle (6).

• Veggies To The Rescue

Vegetables are rich in complex carbs, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. Consuming veggies can help balance your body’s pH, cleanse the colon, improve digestion, boost immunity and memory, and keep the stress away (7). The antioxidants present in veggies also help improve your skin, hair, and overall beauty (8).

• Eat Small Meals Every 3-4 Hours

Eating small meals every 3-4 hours will keep your metabolism active, thereby allowing your body to burn the flab.

A good metabolic rate will also help improve digestion and keep your hunger pangs at bay.

• Drink Water

Keep yourself hydrated by sipping water throughout the day. You can add cucumber and mint to your water to make it vitamin-rich and exciting. Drinking water will help flush out the toxins, keep your metabolism active, maintain cell integrity, and balance internal pH (9).

• Choose Smart Cookies

Sugary or salty cravings can ruin the whole weight loss plan. So, better be prepared. Stuff your kitchen cabinets with oatmeal cookies, raisins, peanut butter cups, dark chocolate etc. These will help appease your cravings without hampering your weight loss agenda.

Quick Tip

You may also have granola bars, celery, or cheddar cheese as snacks in the Atkins diet.

• Build Social Support

Staying motivated is the key to losing weight. But we often fall off the wagon while socializing. So, build your social support by making your friends and family understand how losing weight is important to you. Even a study affiliated with the University of Southern Denmark revealed that social support, a versatile tool that can be found in structured programs, professional guidance, peer groups, friends, and family, helped in promoting weight loss among adults who are overweight or obese. It also highlighted that both formal support and informal support can positively contribute to weight loss outcomes (10). If you are going out, choose a restaurant that serves low-carb, nutritionally balanced food. You should also start talking to people who are also on the same mission. This will help you discuss your progress and keep you motivated.

• Pre/Post Workout Nutrition

“The post workout meal will help you meet your calorie requirements and keep you fortified,” says Heimowitz. Pre or post workout nutrition will help quicker muscle recovery and weight loss. A study highlighted that consuming protein before or after workouts can help to increase muscle protein synthesis, aiding in muscle repair and growth. In addition to it, this can also help to improve physical performance and can contribute significantly to the overall daily intake of required protein (11). However, depending on your body type, you must take a pre or post workout drink. Talk to your dietician or fitness trainer to find out what is best for your body.

• Schedule Regular Check-Ins

Check your progress every week or twice a week. Adjust your diet plan and make changes to your lifestyle accordingly. Seeing a drop in your weight every week will help motivate you and keep you on the right track.

These above-stated Kim Kardashian weight loss secrets- tips and tricks can help you get fit and fabulous in no time. However, one must keep in mind that they may have side effects. Studies have shown that consuming any fad diets on a long-term basis can pose serious health complications. The reason is that this diet can increase fat and protein consumption and restrict the consumption of essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and fibers that not only help improve one’s overall health but can also help prevent many diseases. Further, the study also revealed that, since this low-carbohydrate diet uses fats as a main source of energy, it can lead to ketosis. This in turn can lead to nausea, smelly breath, headache, dizziness, fatigue, constipation, etc. Plus, the diet is also not very palatable, which makes it difficult to follow for a long time.

Moreover, the high-protein content in this low-carbohydrate diet can result in hyperuricemia (high uric acid in the blood), which can lead to joint and gout pain, hypercalciuria (high calcium in the urine), which can lead to osteoporosis, kidney stone, etc. Further, it can also increase the risk of type 2 diabetes (12). Thus, Kim Kardashian’s weight loss diet and exercise come with its set of advantages and disadvantages. So, when embarking on such a diet plan, it’s always suggested to consult a healthcare professional before making any significant changes in your diet or exercise routine.
