Kourtney Kardashian has that lifestyle site, Poosh, that I tried to google as Koosh because doesn’t that make more sense than Poosh? Kourtney is the bland hot Kardashian who isn’t in constant relationship drama, although that wasn’t always the case. She doesn’t seem to have a lot of interests other than being fit and showing her ass – literally. Sometimes she gets into alternative medicine and diets. She recently wrote about doing keto again to get thinner for summer. Keto is of course the low carb moderate protein diet that was designed as a medical intervention for children with epilepsy, for which it is effective. Some people swear by it for weight loss and health, but it’s controversial and some doctors recommend to avoid it. Here are Kourtney’s deep thoughts on 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. 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. “Keto” is short for “ketosis,” a metabolic state that happens when your body switches from burning carbs to burning fat. I’ve been treating myself lately and really want to get back on track, so I’ve committed myself to keto for the next month. The meal plan is all about eating high-fat, high-protein, and low-carb.
Everybody is different, so I suggest consulting a doctor before jumping into new eating habits. I wanted to share why I’m restarting my keto journey and how I make it work for my lifestyle.
My doctor actually put me on the keto diet a couple of years ago for a metal detox. He tested my muscles and found that I had high levels of mercury and lead in my system. He let me know that one of the fastest ways to detox was to keep my body in a state of ketosis. I would check my blood sugar and ketone levels every morning to make sure I was on track.
I had a really positive experience the last time around and wanted to restart my routine this summer. It’s definitely a more restrictive eating plan, but I found that once I knew the ground rules, I was very strict and really stuck to it.
My plan this time is to eat minimal carbs and no grains, beans, or legumes. I’m focusing my meals on fresh vegetables and lean proteins. I eat three meals a day with no snacking in between if possible.
Muscle testing for heavy metal poisoning is BS. You can do blood panels for that, but Kourtney has talked about muscle testing from her doctor before and it’s quackery.
I recently had to give up red meat and dairy and I see the difference in how much more toned I look, but I still eat carbs and sugar of course. I’d be miserable if I had to do that, but that’s Kourtney’s default look so it works. At least she’s not as plastic as her sisters. It has to take fortitude to not get constant injections and body modifications when you’re in that family. Maybe she’s deliberately made herself uninteresting and focused on this one area so she can still earn without having constant press like her sisters. She seems too dim to have a specific career strategy like that though.
Does the keto diet give you a new face or…?
My thoughts exactly!
I love this comment SO MUCH.
I agree! Looks more like Kim. I wouldn’t want to be them for even a day.
HA! Legit thought this was Kim at first and I’ve never thought Kourt resembled her this much. She must’ve either photoshopped that pic or gotten something done.
My thoughts exactly. I kind of hesitated looking at the first pic, thinking which Kardashian is supposed to be wearing this face?
And I see she also now has the “airbrushed robot” face. They all look identical, mission accomplished I guess.
Not sure if Kourtney is all that intelligent but she and Rob are the only children to finish college. Ironic that they are also the least successful
I would feel bad that Kourtney with a college degree only talks about her body but I dont really care.
My officemate started a kept diet recently and wow was it unpleasant. The amount of food she ate throughout the day was crazy and included nausea-inducing things such as an entire container of burrata. She was sick to her stomach at first, felt wretched, couldn’t concentrate on work. It was concerning.
Every day she was obsessed with what she ate. At the end of the six weeks she looks the same to me. She says she lost weight but it clearly wasn’t significant. I don’t know…it struck me as really unnecessary. Seems like she could have achieved the same result by just eating less and eating healthy. Carbs really are not the enemy, imo.
I tried vegan keto for two weeks. It was fun because I could indulge in high fat vegan foods like avocado and tofu, but I had to give up “starchy” veggies like chick peas. After two weeks, I was like “nope. Miss hummus too much.”
You can make a Keto hummus! Just substitute roasted zucchini for the chickpeas. It sounds crazy, but it tastes like real hummus. My family can’t even tell the difference. Honestly, I prefer it over the original hummus.
I’m absolutely going to try that! Not necessarily to reboot keto but because it sounds awesome!
Tofu is high fat? I didn’t think it was possible to do a vegan keto diet… interesting. I wish I had the willpower.
Yeah…that’s not the way to do keto. I’m on the keto diet and I’ve packed a salad for lunch with cilantro lime grilled chicken, avocado slices, roasted veggies, a little bit of cotija cheese, and salsa. For a small snack I have a few slices of cucumbers, a cheese stick, and a piece of jerky.
@Sarah B That’s how I eat on keto too. There’s a lot of salad in my life.
Sounds like she was doing something wrong? Also probably had “keto flu”. There’s an adjustment period while transitioning to fat vs sugar burning, and you really can’t just do it for a month – successfully transitioning to ketone burning. Unless maybe you’ve already done it before and can kick things into gear a bit faster. Keto flu is more severe the worse someone’s diet or health was going into it. But even super healthy and good diet, you will feel something for a while. Not necessarily a flu in that case, but maybe slightly winded for a few weeks when going up stairs, or more sensitive to heat and feel sluggish.
She is so boring
“She doesn’t seem to have a lot of interests other than being fit and showing her ass – literally”
Well, let’s not forget that nowadays showing your ass is a profession. Just look at Instagram models, people get paid for showing their asses. What a time to be alive
Fake asses, photoshopped asses at that. Literally ANYONE can be an instagram model because those girls/guys looking nothing like that in real life !
Shallow Vapid and Boring
She must be doing something right since she’s living in a mansion and is able to take expensive holidays to exotic destinations.
As long as you’re in a calorie deficit you lose weight. How is it the 21st century and people still don’t get this. If you eat too much you’re going to gain. Keto is largely BS (apart for the treatment of medical conditions as mentioned) and one reason for that is that it is NOT sustainable. Carbs are not the enemy!
For some of us, though, carbs actually are the enemy. I’m not sure what you mean about the keto diet not being sustainable—I’ve been sustaining it for years now—but I do know that when I eat like a normal person, my blood glucose spikes to diabetic levels.
