Khloe Kardashian's weight has always been a hot topic.
2017-07-24
Originally known for being the slightly huskier Kardashian sister, she's now known for rocking a killer "revenge body" and for her new TV show, "Revenge Body With Khloe Kardashian."
Although Kardashian's exercise plan is widely known, her nutritionist, Philip Goglia, recently revealed her dieting secrets, which surprisingly consist of eating a whopping seven meals a day.

Enthusiastic to finally see a celeb diet that didn't involve starving yourself (or so I thought), like Kourtney Kardashian's crazy meal plan, which includes fasting for one day a week, I decided to give Khloe Kardashian's diet a go.
Setting out with a goal of following the diet for one week, I headed to the grocery store to grab everything I needed.

4. Almond butter
5. Almonds
6. Salmon
7. Chicken breasts
8. Tomatoes
9. Spinach
10. A lot of fruit
With groceries in hand, it was time to get started.
Here's what a typical day on Kardashian's diet looked like.
Meal one: breakfast
A whey protein shake blended with one tablespoon of almond butter, one serving of fruit, and ice.
With a pinch of honey, it's not too bad.
Ciara Appelbaum
For breakfast, Kardashian makes a nutritious protein shake by mixing one scoop of whey protein powder, one tablespoon of almond butter, one serving of fruit, and ice.
Although the shake wasn't terrible, it was definitely not great, either.
Knowing I wouldn't be able to make it through the entire week drinking this watery mess, I decided to make the shake more edible by mixing in almond milk (which stays in accordance with Kardashian's strict "no dairy" rule) instead of ice and adding a small squirt of honey for sweetness. I'll admit, with the adjustments, the shake was surprisingly tasty.
Although I thought the protein powder and almond butter would keep me full, I was disappointed to realize I was already hungry an hour later.
Meal 2: mid-morning snack
A piece of fruit.
Filling … NOT!
Ciara Appelbaum
For Kardashian's second "meal" she eats a piece of fruit of her choice.
Throughout the week I typically opted for an orange, nectarine, banana, or a few strawberries.
As delicious as fresh fruit is, let's be honest: It's not very filling. By this point in the day, I was really starting to feel my stomach growl.
Meal 3: lunch
A 4-ounce chicken breast with a salad that's high in iron.
My lunch.
Ciara Appelbaum
After a morning spent listening to my stomach growl, I was psyched for lunch. At least this meal seemed to be somewhat more sustainable than the previous two.
For lunch, Kardashian eats a 4-ounce chicken breast and a salad that's high in iron, such as spinach and beets.
Although this "meal" was more filling than the others, I still couldn't quite get full. Even worse, it was pure torture eating this bland meal while smelling my coworkers' tasty lunches.
Meal 4: afternoon snack
One serving of veggies and 12 almonds.
One serving of vegetables is a lot smaller than you'd think.
Ciara Appelbaum
Kardashian's fourth meal usually consists of 12 almonds and one serving of veggies, like celery or tomatoes.
While 12 almonds may seem like a decent amount, I tore through them in about two minutes. One serving of veggies is also a lot less than you'd think.
All in all, meal four left me craving more.
By this point in the day, I was feeling faint. I often needed to cheat with a handful of crackers or a granola bar throughout the week to keep going.
Meal 5: late-afternoon snack
One serving of veggies and one fried egg.
This was flavorless.
Ciara Appelbaum
Kardashian's fifth meal consists of yet another cup of veggies and one fried egg.
Honestly, the picture says it all. This "meal" was flavorless and tiny.
Meal 6: dinner
A fatty fish with 8 ounces of vegetables and salad.
That's a lot of greens …
Ciara Appelbaum
The star's dinner is a "fatty fish," such as salmon, sea bass, black cod, or arctic char, served with more vegetables (surprise!) and a salad.
On a normal day, this dinner would hit the spot for me. However, being beyond hungry from the small amounts of food I'd consumed earlier in the day, it left me less than satisfied.
By this point, my craving for carbs was completely out of control, and all I wanted was to dive into a big bowl of pasta.
Meal 7: dessert
A piece of fruit.
Dessert!
Ciara Appelbaum
Unlike most people, who usually eat dessert after dinner, Kardashian's final meal of the day is just another piece of fruit.
Tragic, really.
The verdict
In case you couldn't tell, this diet is extremely bland as well as unsatisfying.
It didn't take me long to realize Kardashian's "seven meals a day" were merely tiny snacks disguised as "meals."
Eating like Kardashian made me feel so hungry that I lost productivity at work, felt too weak to exercise, and felt faint by the end of the first day.
Maybe I'm just weak, but following this diet seems like an impossible feat, especially considering that Kardashian claims to do two super intense workouts each day on top of it.
It is important to note that if you are considering trying this diet, or any type of diet, make sure to consult with a doctor first, and listen to your body. Dieting is supposed to help you feel healthier, so if you aren't feeling well, it might be time to try a different plan.
Khloe, I don't know how you do it.
