No more than 1,700 calories, 64 ounces of water and plenty of lean meats with little room for carbohydrates. Kim Kardashian West lost 60 pounds of pregnancy weight over the past few months following a strict diet and workout plan.
In December, the reality TV star gave birth to her second child, Saint. Since then, she’s made weight loss and toning up a priority, she told PEOPLE magazine in an interview.
“Anyone who has had kids knows your body changes, and it’s hard to get your body back in shape,” the 35-year-old told the U.S. outlet.
“It takes so much determination, and mental and physical power and energy,” she said.

She told the magazine she was sticking to the Atkins 40 diet, a low-carb diet in which its users stick to eating vegetables, lean meats, fish and plant-based protein and healthy fats, including olive oil, avocado and nuts.

It only allows 40 grams of carbohydrates.
