Khloe Kardashian has young kids that love snacks. And she has to face the constant temptation. She loves everything her young kid eats. But she cannot afford to indulge in some of the treats. So, how does she do it?
After giving birth to her daughter True, she weighed 203 pounds. And she set a goal of reaching 150 pounds quickly after that. But how did she do it? Let’s take a look.

Khloe Kardashian’s goal
It is not easy to lose 3 stones. And it does not happen overnight. When you have bad eating and lifestyle habits, losing weight can pose a challenge. Khloe says she was always chubby growing up. She accepted the way people defined her. Over the years, many have called her “the fat Kardashian sister”. And she would say “Yeah I am big boned”.
During her life, instead of letting people hurt her, Khloe has learned to laugh at jokes and comments. This Kardashian sister always tries to turn a negative or stressful event into a positive thing.
So, when she had to go through a divorce, she coped with the extreme stress by working out. That is how she channeled the negative energy. Khloe turned fitness into a form of therapy and stress reliever.
Khloe Kardashian admits she never really watch what she eats. She doesn’t binge eat. But she never plans to eat this or that. She would rather put effort into the gym than the kitchen.
Yes, she does stick to a rather healthy diet, but working out is her bigger goal. Some mornings, she even incorporates True into her workouts. When True was a little baby, Khloe would run up and down a hill with her baby attached to her body. She used True as “my weights”.
Some of her workout exercises include heavy cardio. Khloe would jump rope for 30 minutes per day or use a treadmill to get her running steps.
She says, “When I first started working out, it was agony. When I was heavier and when I was unhealthy, I had no idea what I was doing. I think I started two days a week for the first two weeks, and then I advanced to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.”
For Khloe, patience is the key. Kardashian says, “I think everyone just thinks, ‘Oh, I’m going to work out and I’m going to lose all this weight in two months. It doesn’t work that way… It’s going to be a long journey, but it’s going to be the most rewarding journey.”
Khloe Kardashian diet
Khloe doesn’t want to put much effort in the kitchen. But she did change her unhealthy diet habits into healthy ones. And once she started incorporating these habits, she started noticing results. Most importantly, Khloe knew a quick diet will not yield long-term results. Those things do not sustain.
Khloe says, “Mine was a really slow process. But I didn’t seek to lose 20 pounds in 20 days. That wasn’t my goal. It was more that, emotionally, I just wanted to feel strong”.
Here is a quick look at her diet:
- Pre-workout snack – An apple and almond butter
- Breakfast – Boiled eggs, or scrambled eggs, or omelet plus oatmeal and some fruits (blueberries or strawberries)
- Lunch – Grilled skinless chicken breasts, vegetables, and a small portion of rice
- Snacks – Cherry tomatoes, nuts, or any fruit
- Dinner – Piece of grilled fish plus a green leafy veggie salad with seeds
- Dessert – Any piece of fruit
This diet works because she gets a healthy dose of protein and carbs before her workout. And she gets a lot of energy thanks to the almond butter and apple. For her breakfast, eggs are a great source of protein, and starting the day with protein keeps the energy level at optimum.
Oats provide fiber to go through the day and make her feel full for a longer duration. And you can see, she has a protein part in every big meal, breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Her snacks and desserts include low-glycemic index fruits. The lesson here is “do not eat fruits that spike the blood glucose levels”.
Workout Regime
We touched a bit about her workout regime, but let’s dial it back. Khloe improved her body composition by incorporating cardio and strength training into her weight loss journey. She follows the advice of Gunner Peterson, a personal trainer. His strategy is to focus on different body parts on different days.
Here is a quick look at her workout routine.
Day 1 – Cardio exercises, for example, running and boxing. Different cardio exercises prevent boredom and keep her motivation up
Day 2 – Legs and buttocks, doing squats, lunges, and kettlebell deadlifts in different variations
Day 3 – Core workout, push-ups with a BOSU ball, crunches, boat brunches, straight leg crunches, and many more
Day 4 – Cardio again, this time something different, like spin class
Day 5 – Time for arms workout, sometimes with battle ropes, BOSU ball, resistance bands, and more for bicep curls, chest press, triceps extensions, and push-ups
Day 6 – Total body workout, concentrating on battle ropes
Day 7 – Recovery, mostly with yoga, stretching, and foam rolling
Diet Tips by Khloe Kardashian
Khloe weighed 202 pounds when she gave birth to her daughter True. She lost 50 pounds initially after a fast diet, but then continued with healthy lifestyle habits. That means a healthy diet and workout, getting her weight to between 120 and 130 pounds.
If you have the same determination, eating habits, and effort to put into working out, you can get there as well. It is important to mix cardio, HIIT, strength training, and more to give your body a total workout. With that in mind, here are some tips from Khloe to guide you.
Drink water to hydrate your cells, keeping the metabolism running and body functions active. Water also maintains the internal pH and helps flush out toxins. Khloe drinks at least 130 ounces of water per day.
Stick to healthy snacks, stock the fridge with snacks like low-glycemic fruits and nuts. Healthy snacks will help you cut down on trans fats and sugar.
Cut down on junk food and dairy, including fries, pizza, burger, potato wafers, fried chicken, processed foods, cakes, pastry, candies, and more.
Indulge once in a while, do not deprive yourself of everything. But you have to earn your cheat day. Work hard and put the effort in, so that you earn the cheat day at the end of the week. For this day, you can consume 500 more calories and indulge in your favorite foods.
You can also try intermittent fasting to help you lose weight without controlling calorie intake. But remember, intermittent fasting is just for a quick result. You can kick start your diet, but do not make intermittent fasting a regular diet choice.
