How Kim Kardashian lost 14 kilograms

After months of keeping a low profile following the birth of her baby North in June, Kim Kardashian has been happy to step back into the limelight recently with reports she's dropped 14 kilograms.

This week, the reality TV star confessed the secret to her svelte appearance. Responding to a fan's query about her weight loss, Kardashian tweeted on October 14: "I've actually been doing the Atkins diet & luv it RT @AlwaysKhloverxo: Need to know @KimKardashian secret on how she's lost so much weight".

Founded in the 1950s by Robert Atkins, the Atkins diet is all about eating a high protein, low carb diet.

She [Kardashian] is eating lots of lean proteins, healthy fats like nuts and avocado, carbs, fruits, veggies and cheese,” a rep for Atkins told Daily Mail. She wanted to be a healthy, nursing mum and not toxify her milk with her diet or lose weight too quickly. She's been doing Atkins since her doctor approved it at the end of June.”

Kardashian has also been combining the Atkins diet with exercise, with the 32-year-old working out with celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson to get back into shape.
