25 BEST-KEPT KARDASHIAN WEIGHT LOSS SECRETS.

Eat This, Not That!

15. They Think About How Food Makes Them Feel

The best piece of weight loss advice I've ever received was to identify how certain foods—especially those that are more indulgent make you feel after you've eaten them. If you know you'll feel super bloated and blah after you eat a burger, you'll be less likely to eat one in the future. And it seems this something Khloé takes to heart, too. "I started having long-term feel-good moments from the gym. You don't have long-term feel-good moments from pizza," the 31-year-old said.

16. Protein is Their Friend

Colette Heimowitz, VP of nutrition and education at Atkins Nutritionals, says that Kim includes protein in each of her meal and snacks to help keep her stay full.

Why It's Smart:

Those who stagger their protein consumption lost more weight and were more apt to maintain their new, fit figures than those who skimped on protein at certain meals, according to recent research. That means someone who's aiming for 60 grams of protein daily should consume 20 grams at each meal—about what you'd find in a 4-ounce chicken breast.

17. They Go Slow &Steady

Sure, she's a celeb, but that doesn't mean she's dropping the pounds at lighting speed like other Hollywood moms. Heimowitz says that after giving birth to her son, North, Kim has been losing about two pounds a week.

Why It's Smart:

Losing weight too quickly ups the odds you'll gain it back later. That's because to drop pounds really quickly you usually have to drastically cut calories, which puts the body into starvation mode. When you start eating regularly again, you'll likely gain back the weight—not what you want when lifelong weight loss is your goal.

18. They Keep Themselves Accountable

Anyone who follows Kourtney on Instagram (@kourtneykardash) knows that 5'0" fitness fanatic regularly posts sexy gym selfies on her account.

Why It's Smart:

While it may seem vain, a recent study from a nutrition clinic in Barranquilla, Colombia found that taking gym selfies can actually help dieters stick to their weight loss regimen. So get snappy and try this weight loss secret for yourself.

19. They Love Shakes

Shakes are packed with protein and essential nutrients that keep your skin, hair, bones and heart healthy. Better yet, there's no prep work or cleanup, and they're easy to sip on the go—it's easy to see why the Kourt and Khloé are such big fans. "I go through phases where I eat the same thing every morning. Right now I make a shake with whole milk, almonds, yogurt, an apple, a banana, cinnamon, cardamom powder, rose water, ice, and a scoop of vanilla [protein powder]," Kourtney says.

20. They Don't Just Workout to Look Better

I do a lot of photo shoots with my stomach showing, and it just feels better to know that I can wear a crop top–or nothing, lol–at a last-minute shoot and not be worried about it. It's all about feeling good about my body and being confident at work."

Why It's Smart:

Experts say that those who are motivated by things other than their appearance are more apt to stick to their fitness programs than those on a mission to exclusively improve their figure.

21. They Take No-Days-Off

"When I'm in [New York City], I like boxing at Gotham Gym," Kendall says. "When I'm in Paris or London I'll just workout in the hotel gym. It would be really easy to be lazy about it when I'm traveling, but then I wouldn't have the tone or definition that I want."

Eat This! Tip:

If the thought of hitting the gym on vacation makes you cringe, simply pack your sneakers and look for a fun way to incorporate more activity into your travels. Explore local sights by foot, rather than by car, or plan to go for bike ride or hike. It's possible to be active while having fun and relaxing.

22. They Dial Back on Meat

Since transitioning to a female, Caitlyn Jenner (formally Bruce Jenner), has been working hard to sculpt her 6'2" frame into curvy feminine perfection. According to a report from Us Weekly, Cait has been dialing back her portions and replacing meat with other sources of protein like soybeans.

Why It's Smart:

A recent Obesity Society study found that those who follow plant-based diets lost more weight than people following conventional diets, without cutting back on calories. ou don't even have to go full-blown vegetarian to take advantage of these benefits; simple eat less meat each day à la Caitlyn or observe Meatless Monday.

23. They Embrace Healthy Fats

"I love pasta, but it definitely makes me feel tired, which I don't like," Kendal says. "I usually start my day with eggs, avocado, and oatmeal. I just feel better if I eat better!"

Why It's Smart:

It's not just her imagination, eggs and avocados are both filled with healthy fats that aid weight loss and provide lasting energy. White pasta, on the other hand, is filled with empty carbs that will just leave you feeling lethargic.

24. They're Playlists Are On Fire

Kendall recently revealed that her favorite workout jams include Kanye West's All Day, Big Sean's I Don't F** With You, Drake's 0 To 100, Kanye West's Mercy, and A$AP Ferg's Work.

Why It's Smart:

Research shows that people are more likely to stick to an exercise program if they listen to music while working out— especially fast-paced, motivational jams that include phrases like "work it." Why? One theory is that they help you move faster, which can help you burn more calories in a shorter amount of time.

25. They Don't Stay Out Late

"My beauty secret for fashion week is just getting a good amount of sleep. I feel like I at least need about seven hours, eight hours of sleep to function," says Kendall.

Why It's Smart:

When you don't log enough shut-eye, your body produces more cortisol, a hormone that boosts hunger and cravings for fatty food. Plus, when you're not fully rested you can't give it your all at the gym.
