Kim Kardashian has lost an impressive amount of weight since December, when she welcomed her second baby, Saint.
Having lost nearly a whopping 70 pounds, she makes bouncing back look so easy; and it is might actually be, because her weight loss secret only has to do with diet and exercise.
The reality star told People Magazine that she has finally realized that abs are made both in the kitchen and in the gym.
‘You have to work out all the time,’ Kim said. ‘I think dieting is so important to weight loss, whereas, I didn’t really ever think that before. I thought, “Oh, I can work out, I can just eat whatever I want.
Kim reveals she is following the ATKINS40 plan, where she consumes 1800 calories per day to balance her workouts.
“We eat a lot of fish and turkey”, Kim said of the diet, adding that it doesn’t restrict you to particular foods.
“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.”
Just like anyone on a fitness journey, there’s always a challenge to achieving one’s goal. Kim says hers is her kids! They make it hard for her to stick to her diet, and she started slacking after she lost the first 55 pounds.
“I started going to Disneyland and taking my kids and eating Churros and all that really crappy stuff that I love,” she reveals. “But then you feel so s—– after you eat it, when you’ve been doing so good.”
The mom of two picked herself back up and immediately lost 9 pounds. She says she achieved this by focusing on her diet and  hitting the gym by 6.00am, before North West and Saint woke up.
Whenever she feels unmotivated, she looks at her sister Khloe, who is her weight loss inspiration.
“I saw her naked two days ago changing,” Kim Kardashian said. “And I was, ‘Oh, my God. You are my body icon.’ She’s never been more on fire.”
