14 DAY TRIAL // After a little under three months of complete radio silence and no public appearances, Kim Kardashian is back on the scene and, as you must have noticed already, she’s almost back to her pre-pregnancy weight.
Asked by one of her fans on Twitter about her big secret, Kim said she swore by the Atkins Diet. “I’ve actually been doing the Atkins diet & luv it,” she said.
The Atkins diet reached its peak in terms of popularity in the ‘90s, but it remains widely used. It is based on the idea that cutting carbs completely from the diet can change “a person’s body from a carb-burning to a fat-burning machine.”
After Kim went public with this on Twitter, a rep for the company confirmed it to Us Weekly. Apparently, the reality star had approval from her doctor to go on this particular diet and the focus was from the start to lose the weight in a healthy way.
“She is eating lots of lean proteins, healthy fats like nuts and avocado, carbs, fruits, veggies and cheese,” says the Atkins spokesperson.
“She wanted to be a healthy, nursing mom and not toxify her milk with her diet or lose weight too quickly. She's been doing Atkins since her doctor approved it at the end of June,” adds the rep.
Of course, as with every other diet, the dieter is also supposed to be working out to burn the extra calories.
Reports online claim that Kim and boyfriend Kanye West, the father of her daughter North, are going to bootcamp together, even if it’s only Kim who’s working out because the rapper is too busy on his phone to join her.
This is not the first time that Kim partners with a weight loss company to shed a few pounds: some time ago, she made headlines for shilling for QuickTrim, together with her sisters Khloe and Kourtney. Chances are she will be giving interviews about her Atkins diet in a matter of weeks.
