Kourtney Kardashian is showing off her baby bump in a bathing suit. In one of her latest social media posts, the reality star, who is expecting her fourth child, her first with husband Travis Barker, cradles her growing belly. “Growing you inside of me, my son, is the greatest blessing, honor and joy,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps and a video. Over the years, Kourtney’s view about body, diet, and exercise has shifted dramatically. Here are a few of the things she has said over the years about her body image.

1. She Openly Discussed Body Changes

Over the years, Kourtney has been candid about the changes her body has gone through, especially when it comes to fertility and pregnancy. “So, obviously my body has changed but it was all of the hormones that the doctors put me on,” Kardashian said to her friends during season 2 of The Kardashians in October 2022. “I think eight months of IVF treatment has definitely taken a toll on my body mentally and physically. It has taken a lot to get me to a place of feeling really comfortable and happy with the changes.” She also discussed all the comments from fans and the many times it has been questioned whether or not she is pregnant. “Everyone always comments on every photo that I am pregnant. Obviously, we wish for that but if it’s in God’s plan then it is.”

2. When She Was “Super Skinny” She Wasn’t “Happy”

Kourtney tries to remind the world that being skinny doesn’t make you happy. “When I was super skinny, it is a time when I was super anxious. [It was] not about eating or staying at a certain weight but just in toxic relationships,” she said. “I would always say, ‘If I am super skinny just know I am not happy.'”

3. She Helped Make Intermittent Fasting Mainstram

Kardashian was one of the early celebrity supporters of intermittent fasting. "For me, this meant not eating for 14 to 16 hours after dinner. I wouldn't eat past 7 p.m. at night, and then I would wait to eat breakfast the next day until after my morning workout, which would be around 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m,” she said about the routine she followed.

4. She Also Promoted Keto

“My body never looked better than when I did the keto diet two and half years ago, when I did it for two months,” Kourtney wrote on Poosh in June 2019. “In my experience, I’ve found the best method to train my body to curb sugar cravings, burn fat and kick-start weight loss is by sticking to a keto diet.”

5. She Loves Her “Thicker” Body

Kourtney’s ideal weight has changed over the years. "My weight — I used to go so much by weight — I used to be 95 pounds. Then 105 became my new normal weight. I am 115," she explained. "I am so into my thicker body. I looked up photos of my body when I was so skinny — it is cringey."

Kourtney Kardashian is flaunting her curves! A few weeks after being body shamed by fans who accused her of being pregnant, the eldest Kardashian showed off her famous figure in a high cut bikini. “Trying on bikinis after reading the @poosh story on 2021 swimsuit trends,” she captioned a mirror image of herself on her Instagram stories.

After fans accused her of being pregnant with current love Travis Barker’s baby, the 42-year-old simply pointed out the facts. "I'm a woman with a BODY,” she reportedly spat back at one of the comments. In 2020, she also dropped some words of wisdom after her body was the subject of unnecessary comments. “This is me when I have a few extra pounds on, and I actually love it,” she responded to them. “I have given birth three amazing times and this is the shape of my body.”

2. She Eats Extremely Healthy

Kourtney has mastered the art of willpower and maintains a super strict diet, eating only organic and keeping gluten and dairy to a minimum. She has also famously lost weight with the help of keto and intermittent fasting. During her extreme times, she would fast from 7 pm until 11am, adding a 24-hour water and bone broth fast once a week. Usually, her diet consists of whole foods like avocado, oatmeal, fish, fruits and veggies and other whole grains.

3. She Loves Exercise

Kourtney always makes exercise a priority. "I think I take time for myself to work out every day, which I never did—especially having three young kids," she explained to E! News. "I just never made it a priority, and now it just makes me feel so much better—mentally and physically." She avoids trendy workouts, sticking mostly to strength training. She usually starts off with a jump roping or running session followed by weights. Sometimes she will use a stairmaster or Pilates reformer or floor exercises like leg kick-backs with a resistance band or kettlebell squats.

4. Her Sisters Help Her Stay Fit

The Kardashian and Jenner girls are regularly snapped exercising together. In fact, Kourtney dished to E! News that her go-to workout buddy is her sister Khloe. "I know for my body, I need four to five days a week of working out. Khloe and I really push each other to do that,” she said.

5. She Takes Supplements

Kourtney is a big fan of supplements and regularly shares them on her blog. "Every morning, when I wake up, I take collagen supplements on an empty stomach," she recently wrote in a blog post. Next, she drinks a glass of water mixed with one tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar. "Both of these habits have a ton of health benefits that affect everything from your skin to the way your body processes nutrients," she wrote. Next up? A vegan probiotic shot, followed by avocado pudding with the fruit and E3Live blue-green algae, bone broth protein powder and MCT oil. "It only takes a few minutes to make," she says, "and it provides healthy fats to give me energy before a workout."
