Kardashian focuses on weight training to maintain her curvy yet strong physique. “I work out about an hour-and-a-half every single day, heavy weights,” she says. “I don't do a lot of cardio. But honestly, like even my mom pulled me aside maybe a week ago and pulls me in a closet and is like, 'What are you doing?' She says, 'I don't care what, I just need to know.' I've been working out really hardcore with a bodybuilder.”

2. Personal Trainer Every Morning

Kardashian works out with personal trainer Melissa Alcantara, who puts the reality star through her paces. "Her schedule is crazy, and mine is also crazy, so we work out really early in the morning at 6am," Alcantara says. "85 percent of our training is weight training, and the other 15 is made up of cardio... Kim loves to work the back of her legs — the hamstrings and the booty! We'll have one day entirely dedicated to abs.”

3. She Loves Carbs

Kardashian refuels after her workouts with healthy carbohydrates. "My trainer Mel always says that before and after you train, you should eat simple carbs, like sweet potatoes, and small amounts of fat and protein, like chicken," she says. "You should also have veggies with your meals, since you need them to help effectively break down and absorb your protein, fat, and carbs. There's a myth that eating carbs is bad, but this isn't true!"

4. But She Also Does Atkins

Kardashian says she went super low-carb after welcoming son Saint in 2015. "I did a strict Atkins diet. Strict, strict, strict,” she says. “It was really hard for me to diet [with the] first baby. This time was so much easier and I realized [it comes down to] the food. I mean, I love to work out and you definitely have to work out to tone up, but so much of it is how you eat. I had to really stay focused. I had to cut out all the sweets and I had such a sweet tooth."

5. She’s Mindful About Sugar

Kardashian has a notorious sweet tooth, and is careful about her sugar intake. "I don't really eat sugar the way that I used to,” she says. “It doesn't really do it for me. I've kind of been trained to just eat a lot healthier than I used to. I used to just eat anything and everything and I loved it. And so I really do control that now. I don't want to ruin it by just stuffing my face... I love Häagen-Dazs ice cream. That's like my one go-to."

It’s not easy when you’re a mom and you’re exhausted at the end of the day or you’re in school, and I’m all of the above. I do my beauty treatments usually late at night. After everyone’s in bed, I’m doing laser treatments.” However, in the interview she denied using filler in her lips and cheeks, only copping to Botox. “Never filled either one, ever,” she said.

Kim underwent a lot of scrutiny for her dramatic weight loss, but claims she did it the right way. “If I was starving and doing it really unhealthy, I would say that, of course, that’s not a good message. But I had a nutritionist, I had a trainer. I have never drunk more water in my life. I don’t see the criticism for other people when they lost weight for roles — they are [considered] geniuses for their craft,” she told Allure. “There are so many things out there that are so not accurate and not true.”

4. She Follows a Plant-Based Diet

Kardashian, chief taste consultant for Beyond Meat, follows a plant-based diet. However, to lose the weight for the Met Gala she incorporated meat back into her diet. Then “psoriasis broke out over my body and I got psoriatic arthritis so I couldn’t really move my hands,” she told Allure. “It was really painful, and I had to go to a rheumatologist who put me on a steroid. I was freaking out. I cut out the meat again, and it’s calmed down.”

5. She Works Out…A Lot

Kim is famous for her intense workout regiment. Her trainer, Melissa Alcantara dished on the details to Women’s Health. “Her schedule is crazy, and mine is also crazy, so we work out really early in the morning at 6 a.m,” she said, adding that "85 per cent of our training is weight training, and the other 15 is made up of cardio" and that Kim works out six days per week for 60-90 minutes each time. What exercises does she do? Ball slams, burpees, sprints, and ladder drills to get her heart rate up. "She’s super responsible, she never cancels – she’s the best client and athlete you can have," Alcantara shared. "It’s just her drive. She's like, ‘I have to work out, this is part of my life.' It’s all about the mindset." To get into shape for the Met, Kim added another element. “I would wear a sauna suit twice a day [and also] run on the treadmill,” she told US Vogue.
