Sure, the Kardashians have made a few questionable health decisions but I feel that they are healthier than they have been, Khloe is killing it in the gym, Kourtney is eating clean, and Kim is crushing bodybuilder workouts. Even Kylie and Kendall are all about that healthy life.
Behold, all the Kardashian wellness hacks you should totally steal.
– work out on most days.
That’s what Kim does, Her trainer, Melissa Alcantara, told E! that she usually works out six days a week, for 60 to 90 minutes at a time.
– Eat fat in moderation.
Kourtney says she loves to eat ghee, a clarified butter, in the morning, according to her website. That’s right, there’s no need to cancel butter, as long as you eat it in moderation.
– Mix up your workouts.
“I love SoulCycle, hot yoga, circuit training, obstacle-type things,” Khloe told USA Today.
“We fall into workout monotony because it’s less work,” Mark Peterson, Ph.D., a certified strength and conditioning specialist previously told WomensHealthMag.com. It’s important to change up your routines to see results—and stave off boredom.
– Write down your fitness goals.
“When I work with Kim, we like to set goals that we can feel good about reaching,” her trainer, Melissa Alcantara, told WomensHealth.com.
“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!”
– Load up on veggies.
Kylie Jenner announced in 2017 that she was going vegan. “I’m trying this whole vegan thing,” she wrote on Snapchat over a photo of vegan tacos, salsa, and a smoothie.
The beauty mogul might be on to something: Piling on the veggies through a vegan diet might help with weight loss. A 2016 study published in the Journal of General Medicine found that people who follow a vegan diet see better results than dieters on other weight-loss plans, losing an average of five pounds more in the short-term.
But, keep in mind: The best diet plan—and one that will yield long-term results—is one you’ll actually stick to.
– Try to work fitness into your everyday life.
“I am obsessed with lifting my butt. So before I get in the shower I will do 100 deep squats,” Kourtney told Hello! magazine. “It’s a little thing, but doing it before your shower reminds you to do it every day. It’s a little extra. I even do situps while watching TV. For me, it’s about multi-tasking.”
– Cut back on processed foods.
“I try to avoid processed foods in general,” Kourtney said on her website.
She’s talking about foods that are loaded with added sugars, oils, and other things you can’t totally pronounce—and they can be really bad for your waistline and health in general.
– Don’t skip on your sleep schedule.
“My beauty secret for fashion week is just getting a good amount of sleep,” Kendall Jenner told E! “I feel like I at least need about seven hours, eight hours of sleep to function.”
Kendall likely feels that way because, well, you do need those seven to eight hours Chris Winter, M.D., previously told WomensHealthMag.com. And not just for beauty sleep purposes—it helps give you the energy to stay active and resist cravings throughout the day, he said.
– Ditch the scale.
“I don’t believe that a weight defines you. I don’t weigh myself, because I don’t care what number I am,” Khloe told Entertainment Tonight.
“I think to be happy comes from within … There’s so many miserable people that are thin and they’re hungry!”
– Get a little competitive every now and again.
Khloe told Entertainment Tonight that she, Kim, and Kourtney “all compete fitness-wise.”
A little (healthy) competition can be an excellent form of self-motivation…
– Start your day with a dose of protein.
“I usually start my day with eggs, avocado, and oatmeal. I just feel better if I eat better,” Kendall told People.
Extra protein—especially in the morning can leave you feeling satisfied, energized, and can even repair muscles and help with hormone production.
