I Followed Khlo Kardashian’s Diet for a Week and This Is What Happened – The Daily Meal

Diet Comments Off on I Followed Khlo Kardashian’s Diet for a Week and This Is What Happened – The Daily Meal

Have you ever wanted to have a body like a Kardashian sister? Whether or not youd actually admit it, you probably have. They have curves for days! And if youve ever wondered how they got that way, theyll tell you its through diet and exercise (though most suspect that plastic surgery plays a significant role).

So, when Khlo Kardashians nutritionist Dr. Philip Goglia detailed her diet in an interview with Healthista earlier this month, I decided to give it a whirl and see just how these ladies live. Honestly, reading through it, it didnt seem that insane.

After losing 40 pounds last year and then sort of falling off the weight-loss wagon, I figured eating like Khlo could be a decent way to jumpstart my healthy eating habits once again. I mean, what could go wrong?! Sure, eating a cup of celery and 12 almonds for a meal is downright sad, but when you think of it as a snack, its fine or so I thought.

Before my diet even officially started, I ran into some speed bumps. It probably goes without saying, but eating like a Kardashian is insanely expensive. I followed Khlos diet plan and stocked up on fresh fish, fruits, vegetables, and almonds. It cost me about $90 for five days worth of groceries, and I didnt even shop organic. Normally, I try to do my grocery shopping on a tight budget, like $50 a week for me and my husband. It may surprise you, but an online journalist doesnt make nearly as much as a socialite/Instagram advertiser/occasional TV host. (Seriously, what does Khlos business card say?)

Also, Khlo has a chef who will prep her meals for her, but once again, I dont have her money, so it was up to me to cook. Working full-time and coming home to cook is a goal I always have, but like many New Yorkers, its one I rarely achieve.

Day 1:

Meal 1: Ive never been a breakfast person. Even as a kid, getting me to eat a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch was a daily struggle for my dad. And Cinnamon Toast Crunch is delicious! So Im not looking forward to having to get up early and make myself something for breakfast especially something in which one of the main ingredients is ice. But I persist and make my smoothie. Because Ive already totally busted my grocery budget and because I hate the taste and texture, I forgo the protein powder so I have a shake of strawberries, almond butter, and ice. My husband thinks the sound of the blender in the morning is reminiscent of farts, and the taste of this shake is only slightly better than that.

Meal 2: An apple isnt typically thought of as an entre. But, for Khlo, it is a complete meal. My pomme of choice is a Golden Delicious. Granted, it is fairly delicious. But Im hungry. Eating in the morning is supposed to help fuel your day, but this just makes me ravenous.

Meal 2.5: You know what Khlo doesnt necessarily drink? Coffee. That is a big no-no in my book. I work an office job, and even the idea of forgoing coffee is exhausting. I do some journalistic research (i.e., Google it), and find that, in a former diet plan, Khlo did indulge in a cup of black coffee every morning. I think this means I didnt even make it five hours on the #KhloeDiet, but Im allowing myself this small indulgence.

I never said I was a role model.

Meal 3: I heard that Khlo will eat a Chinese chicken salad for lunch, and lucky for me, thats one of my favorite lunches too! I find a low-calorie ginger sesame salad dressing at the store and pour it on top of my salad. It tastes surprisingly good! The texture of raw spinach always makes my teeth feel weird, but its a small price to pay for a #revengebody.

Meal 4: Now I face the true test: the infamous cup of celery and 12 almonds. Its so depressing, and I am so excited to eat it because it is awful. The celery is fine, but it tastes weirdly bitter in a way that makes me think I dont know how to properly wash my vegetables. The almonds, on the other hand, are the first things that have made me feel mildly satiated all day.

Meal 5: More fresh vegetables. Since I was chopping up a bell pepper for my salad the night before, I cut some extra slices for my fifth meal. I am not going to stomach raw tomatoes. Raw tomatoes are gross, and bell peppers have tons of vitamins, too, so it balances out (in my mind). Im also a little sad because I forgot to shock my hard-boiled eggs when I made them, so theyre a little gray. I swear I know how to make perfect hard-boiled eggs. Im only human, though, and I messed up.

Meal 6: I arrive home from work tired and hungry. Normally, I would order some takeout pizza on a long Monday like this one, but I channel the strength of Khlo after her divorce from Lamar and cook a meal. Despite the blistering NYC heat, I bake a salmon steak in the oven and saut asparagus. I deviate a bit from Kardashians dairy-free lifestyle and use some butter in my dinner. (Im counting only about 900 calories for the day, which is dangerously low. I have to pad it with some lovely fats, so I go with a classic.) I pair it with another Asian salad.

Meal 7: Dinner keeps me full for like 45 minutes, but then I am famished again. Its 9 p.m. and I cut up a mango as my final meal. Its the fruit of my choice! It tastes alright, but doesnt do nearly enough to cut my hunger. Im tired, and its easiest to just go to bed at this point.
