1. Prioritize Exercise

Exercise is a daily part of Khloe’s life. She tries to break a sweat first thing in the morning. . “Usual sister workout with @kimkardashian and @coachjoe.paris,” Khloe captioned a recent image from a climbing machine. “Got to get it in before the kids wake up.” In order to ensure she is ready to sweat, she workout preps the night before, by laying out everything she needs, including her outfit. "I have my waters that I always [line up] the night before," she told Byrdie. "I make sure that everything is lined up, ready to go, and simplified because I want to make happy, healthy habits. It's so simple, but I notice that when I don't do these things how crummy or sluggish I'll feel."

2. Change Your Lifestyle, Gradually

"For me it was a lifestyle change—it wasn't like, 'I'm going to lose 30 pounds in 30 days,'" Khloe said about her health transformation. "That's unrealistic, unsafe, and you're setting yourself up for failure. I would say instead, 'I'm going to start incorporating collagen protein into my coffee in the morning.' It's just one thing. I would do that for two weeks, and then say 'Okay, I'm going to do the collagen in my coffee and drink three liters of water per day.' Whatever they may be, set small goals. Try one new healthy habit every two weeks and then keep adding to them until you're in a really good place. I think we all at first get so excited and take on more than is realistic. And then we fail and we're bummed about it. But if you set these small goals, you get really proud of yourself. You're like 'Okay, I did that and I feel really good.' Then you're inspired and you add one more."

3. Eat What You Want, But in Moderation

Khloe eats her favorite foods, but doesn’t overdo it. "I kind of eat what I want, but in portion control, which I never knew before. It's really hard," she told People. "You have to train your body to eat less. Your eyes are bigger than your stomach."

Khloe prioritizes hydration. "I had to train myself to drink more water. I drink like 5 liters of water a day," she told People. "I yell at [Kylie] and Kendall [Jenner] to drink more water."

5. Don’t Crash Diet

Khloe is anti-diet. “I want to say about food, it's this: Don't diet. When you diet, you are basically setting yourself up for failure. I mean, the word die is in there!" she wrote in her book, Strong Looks Better Naked. "You're not allowing yourself to enjoy the food you love, and it will only make you want it that much more. Make smart lifestyle changes, one baby step at a time."
