"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. You should also have veggies with your meals, since you need them to help effectively break down and absorb your protein, fat, and carbs,” she wrote on her app in 2018, per Harper's Bazaar.

8. Try LISS Workouts

LISS workouts, which have recently become a trendy method of fitness, are also part of Kim’s routine. "Two days out of the week we’ll do steady-state cardio," Alcantara told WH, "so just walking at a steady pace on the treadmill for usually around 20 minutes. Nothing getting the heart rate too high."

9. Avoid Processed Food

10. Set Goals and Write Them Down

“When I work with Kim, we like to set goals that we can feel good about reaching,” Alcantara told WH. “Once we have a goal set, we write it down. I’ve found that helps hold you accountable. And, it feels amazing when you do finally reach your goal!”
