The Kardashian/Jenner family is known for many things — in fact, it’s hard to get into just how many things without, well, writing a book about it. But one of those things has seemed to stand out from the rest lately, and that’s their attitude towards food, diet, and even exercise. While many fans and critics alike believe that the Kardashian/Jenner sisters have taken part in a variety of plastic surgeries and procedures, it’s also pretty obvious that the family is kind of obsessed with how they eat and how often they work out.
Kourtney Kardashian is notorious for following an incredibly restrictive diet, Kim Kardashian has been open about her experiences with Atkins and other programs, and Khloé Kardashian has also talked a lot about her own weight loss journey. They have a lot to say about food!
A lot of this has, of course, been pretty controversial. For example: Kylie Jenner, Kim, Kourtney, and Khloé have all been criticized for their endorsement of various “detox” teas on social media, particularly for their refusal to stop doing so or to apologize for it. Many also believe that the family as a whole has an unhealthy approach towards diet. However you feel, it’s hard to deny that it’s interesting to know what these women are really eating. With this in mind, here are a bunch of strange comments they’ve made about food that will really make you think:
1. Kourtney has said she starts her day off with ghee.
In a blog on her old website, Kourtney once wrote, “Ghee is the first thing I put in my body every morning. I take one big teaspoon of ghee every morning and melt it on the stove in a pan and drink it out of a cute little ceramic white cup. After I take it, I don’t eat anything for 20 minutes, and then I drink a glass of water before eating food.”
Ghee is a type of clarified butter that is said to be healthier than regular butter, but it’s not exactly appetizing when eaten on its own like that. In fact, that sounds awful!
2. Kim once said she was addicted to sweeteners.
Kim once admitted that she had to cut back on a diet favorite.
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, where she talked about her daily routine, she said, “I used to drink a ton of iced tea, but I’ve cut back. I had the craziest addiction to Equal — I’d put 10 Equals in every iced tea. My sister Kourtney would say, ‘You can’t have that much sweetener!’ I’ve trained myself to have just one iced tea a week, and I’m down to three Equals.”
10 little Equal packets in one glass?! That is definitely pretty intense.
3. Kendall has said too much pasta makes her sleepy.
As a supermodel, it’s not surprising that Kendall is always watching what she eats.
In a post on her old website, she explained, “I looove pasta, but it definitely makes me feel tired, which I don’t like. I usually start my day with eggs, avocado, and oatmeal. I just feel better if I eat better!”
It makes sense that too many carbs would make her feel more tired, actually… but hopefully she hasn’t given pasta up completely, because it’s way too good to deserve that.
4. Kourtney keeps her kids on a pretty restrictive diet.
The oldest Kardashian sister is notorious for following an incredibly strict diet, and it’s one she tries to keep her kids on as well.
In a post on her website, she once wrote, “A few years ago, the kids and I did muscle testing and found out we have sensitivities to both gluten and dairy. After speaking with my doctor and doing some research, I decided to try a gluten- and dairy-free diet.”
5. Kendall once said she has 12 cups of tea a day.
In an interview with E! News, Kendall once said, “I usually start my day off with a cup of detox tea. I have, like, 12 cups a day.” It’s not clear if she’s talking about the fit tea that has gotten her sisters into trouble lately, or a lemongrass-green tea blended Kusmi Detox tea that is mentioned later in the article. Either way, 12 cups?! That’s overdoing it just a bit.
6. Kourtney has said she wasn’t this healthy until she had kids.
Kourtney is often criticized for being a health nut, but apparently, she swears it’s something new.
In an interview with Fit Pregnancy, she once said, “I was not raised this way — people just weren’t as aware of healthy eating as they are today. When I got home from school, my snack was a bag of chips or cookies, and as an adult, I didn’t even know what organic meant — I’d just go to the market and buy the same things my mom bought. I didn’t really have any thoughts about it before I had my kids.” It’s hard to imagine Kourtney eating cookies, or giving them to her kids after school!
7. Khloé has talked about going dairy-free for her diet.
Khloé is often asked about her weight loss diet, and she’s been pretty open about it.
In one interview, she said, “I’m obsessed with cheese and milk, but eliminating them from my diet made the biggest difference.” She added, “In a month and a half, I lost 11 pounds just from not eating dairy, without doing anything else different, and that totally blew my mind.” It’s worth pointing out that doctors don’t think you should eliminate food groups unless you absolutely need to or are under strict professional supervision.
8. Kourtney has talked about practicing intermittent fasting.
The eldest Kardashian is also known for taking part in intermittent fasting, which is basically going hours at a time without food.
In a post on her website, she once wrote, “For me, this meant not eating for 14 to 16 hours after dinner. I wouldn’t eat past 7 p.m. at night and then I would wait to eat breakfast the next day until after my morning workout, which would be around 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.” This definitely does not sound easy, or particularly pleasant!
9. Kourtney loves a, um, strange avocado pudding.
Avocado pudding? Maybe. Kourtney’s avocado pudding? No thanks.
In a post on her website, she once wrote, “Before breakfast, I take a vegan probiotic shot. Then, almost every morning, I eat freshly made avocado pudding with E3Live blue-green algae, bone broth protein powder, and MCT oil. It only takes a few minutes to make and it provides healthy fats to give me energy before a workout.”
10. Kim swears she loves fast food.
It’s hard to imagine any member of the Kardashian/Jenner family enjoying fast food, but Kim says she does.
In a post on her website, she once wrote, “Fast food is def one of my guilty pleasures. I go very rarely, but OMG I love it so much when I decide to indulge.”
11. Kourtney says she fasts for 24 hours one day a week.
This sounds less than appealing.
In a post on her website, Kourtney once wrote, “I also do a 24-hour fast one day a week. On the fasting days, I drink bone broth and water all day, and then I’ll have dinner that evening. So I basically just don’t eat breakfast and lunch that day. I find it easiest to always do this on a very busy day, so I don’t have time sit around and wish I was eating.” This… cannot be healthy.
12. Khloé says Kendall is on an “anti-model diet.”
Is Kendall as healthy as the rest of her sisters?
Not according to Khloé. On her website, Khloé once wrote, “People always find it funny that Kenny is on the anti-model diet. She loves burgers and pizza and goes to In-N-Out all the time. Kendall is my go-to girl on cheat day!”
13. Kylie really loves dry cereal.
last night i had cereal with milk for the first time. life changing.
— Kylie Jenner (@KylieJenner) September 19, 2018
If there’s one Kardashian/Jenner who doesn’t talk about their diet often, it’s Kylie.
In September 2018, though, she actually made news when she revealed she had just tried cereal with milk for the first time. How is that even possible?!
14. Kim has said that Kanye West influences her to eat healthier.
It’s probably not shocking that Kim and Kanye have the same views on food.
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she said, “I try to have breakfast really quick, before [North’s] up, but I’m rushing and always checking the monitor. I’ll usually have scrambled eggs or oatmeal, or a protein shake with fruit. Kanye loves to eat really healthy and is always on different diets. He has a chef who comes in the morning and cooks breakfast for both of us and gets our meal plans together for the day. We just started seeing a nutritionist who changes our diet every 10 days.”
15. Kylie once said she eats shrimp tacos every day.
Shrimp tacos are awesome, but eating them every day?
It sounds like a little bit of overkill. In an episode of Life of Kylie, she once said, “The tacos, the guac, the onions, the shrimp, the shell. The juiciness drips down your lips. Mmm, shrimp.” It’s like, we get it, but also we don’t.
16. Kendall describes her lunches as “really quick.”
Despite what Khloé has said about Kendall being on the anti-model diet, it seems like she tries to eat healthy as well.
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she once said, “Most of the time lunch is really quick. I typically eat lean chicken and brown rice, and am always snacking on raw veggies with dip and hummus. I wish I had more time to do grocery shopping because I like picking out my own vegetables.”
17. Khloé has said she “wouldn’t last a day” on Kim’s diet.
When Khloé opened about her sister’s eating habits, she said she could never do Kim’s, explaining, “I wouldn’t last a day on Kim’s new diet. It involves cutting out all sugar and carbs, but it allows meat and dairy. I like sweets too much and also don’t eat red meat or dairy so I’m saying hell no to this one!” This is very relatable, to be honest!
