Kim Kardashian showed off her slammin’ bikini body and 80-pound low carb diet weight loss while vacationing in Mexico.
Kardashian looked skinnier than ever in a tiny nude bikini that spotlighted her slimmed-down waist and curvy butt.
Kim enjoyed the gorgeous sandy beaches of Mexico with daughter North and son Saint in what appeared to be a staged photo-op.
Kardashian also posted a racy Snapchat video where she shook her booty like a porn star (see below).
While Kardashian has been accused of losing weight with plastic surgery and liposuction, there’s no doubt she has dramatically transformed her body since giving birth in December 2015.
The 5-foot-2 Kim, who weighed 200 pounds while pregnant, recently said she now weighs about 123 pounds.
Kim’s weight loss secrets were cardio exercise and the low carb, high-fat Akins diet, as Celebrity Health Fitness has reported.
Kardashian shed 80 pounds during the past 7 months with the Atkins diet.
Kim said she consumed about 40 net grams of carbs a day on her diet, and the weight melted off.
Low carb, high-fat diets like the Atkins and ketogenic diets accelerate weight loss by encouraging the body to burn fat for fuel, said obesity expert Maria Emmerich, author of Quick & Easy Ketogenic Cooking.
Limiting carbs and eating more healthy fats curbs hunger, boosts energy and controls cravings, explained Dr. Eric Westman, co-author of Keto Clarity and New Atkins For a New You.
To torch calories and burn fat, the mom of two ran or walked on the treadmill and used the elliptical trainer.
Kim Kardashian also credited waist training for her tiny waist.
In 2014, Kim said she wore a waist trainer several hours a day to regain her small waist after giving birth to daughter North.
Kim’s sisters Khloe, Kourtney and Kylie Jenner are also fans of waist training.
Looking back, Kim admits she was envious of women who lost weight right after birth.
“I was so jealous of women who had these cute little baby bellies and would gain 25 pounds and then, a few weeks after giving birth, somehow look exactly like they did before they were pregnant,” said Kardashian
After dieting and working out daily to slim down, Kim is proud of her progress. “I definitely feel good,” said Kardashian. “All the hard work paid off.”
