Speaking to People at the REVOLVE in The Hamptons party over the weekend, the reality star revealed exactly how she’s managed to lose over 30 kilograms since the birth of son Saint seven months ago.
While she originally thought that regular workouts would be enough to whip her body into shape, the 35-year-old has since learnt the important of a balanced, yet strict diet.
“I think dieting is so important to weight loss, whereas, I didn’t really ever think that before,” Kim, who now weighs a svelte 54 kilograms, quipped to People.
“I thought, ‘Oh, I can work out, I can just eat whatever I want.’ But you have to work out all the time.”
The brunette beauty, pictured with younger sister Kendall Jenner, says fish and turkey are her go-to foods.
The app entrepreneur showed off the fruits of her labour when she stepped out in a mesh dress during an outing in LA recently.
The reality star went on to explain the key proteins responsible for her taught physique, while stressing the importance of mini-indulgences – you know, to keep you feeling sane.
“We eat a lot of fish and turkey,” she said. “It’s a full modified thing. I worked with them in them sending me their snack stuff.”
“And there would be this trail mix with M&M chocolates with peanuts, so there was stuff that makes it you feel like you can live. And not like super restricted to anything.”
Speaking of her post-baby body struggles, the selfie queen admitted, “Anyone who has had kids knows your body changes, and it’s hard to get your body back in shape.”
After a few minor slip ups in the form of Disneyland churros (we’ve all been there), Kanye West’s wife now reveals that she is 100% focused on losing the full 32 kilograms she set for herself earlier this year.
So how exactly has Kim managed to bounce back so fast? Well, the answer to that lies on her dinner plate, which contains a range foods carefully constructed from a trusted celebrity meal plan called the Atkins diet.

The renowned celebrity diet is nothing new to the A-lister, who previously turned to the Atkins diet after the birth of her first daughter North in 2013.
To get slim Kim back, the mother-of-two has indulged in a variety of foods including proteins in the form of fish, chicken, eggs and meat, lots of colourful vegetables and low-glycemic fruits such as berries and cantaloupe.
For her daily serve of dairy, Kim munches away on Greek yogurt and some (but not all) cheeses, and healthy fats like nuts, avocados and olive oil – all the while staying hydrated by consuming 1.3 – 1.8 litres of water.
It’s all about balance!
Now, Kim’s day on a plate would start with a breakfast made up of rolled oats, strawberries and pecans.
For lunch, the brunette beauty would munch away on a turkey burger with chipotle aioli, tomato, pickles and onions, and for dinner the TV personality would eat grilled chicken with asparagus, tomato and mozzarella.
To tide over the mid-morning and early-arvo tummy grumbles, she would also snack on assorted fruits and veggies, from cherry tomatoes, capsicum, peaches and honeydew melon.
The diet actually sounds rather delicious and perhaps more importantly, achievable.
As a meal plan, it aims to promote a quick but steady weight loss in the body by keeping carbohydrate consumption to around 40 grams per day, all the while keeping your daily calorie intake from around 1500 to 1800.
Try the diet for yourself with salads made up of colourful veggies and lean meats. This tuna carpaccio with Asian salad recipe will do the trick!
