Today, June 12th, marks True Thompson’s two-month birthday. Time has flown since Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson welcomed their beautiful baby girl back in April. Khloé hasn’t been very active on social media since giving birth. But when she does post, it’s often about her post-baby workout routine and how she’s getting back into shape. Now, in addition to sharing what she’s doing in the gym, she’s also sharing what she’s up to in the kitchen.
On Monday, June 11th, Khloé took to her app to explain her post-baby low-carb diet. She even shared a sample meal plan for a day. And honestly? Her approach to a low-carb diet actually sounds pretty doable. We appreciate that she’s not starving herself to get her pre-baby body back, because honestly? Your body took a long time to create human life. Your body is incredible. Starving it and depriving it of food after you’ve given birth is unrealistic and dangerous.
“I’m currently on a low-carb diet that my nutritionist, Dr. Goglia, gave me,” Khloé wrote in a post on her app, Health.com reports. “It has lots of protein, so I’m able to go all out at the gym, but the best part is that I’m never hungry because I’m always eating!”
If you’re intimidated by the idea of cutting carbs, we totally feel that. But Khloé swears it’s not as difficult as you might think. “I promise it’s easier to follow than it sounds,” she continued.
So, what exactly does Khloé eat every day on her new low-carb diet?

“For lunch, Dr. Goglia recommends a four-ounce piece of grilled chicken breast with a half portion of a simple starch, like four ounces of yam or a half cup of white rice, along with a veggie and a salad. Because I recently gave birth, I’m still eating a full portion of starch right now,” Khloé said. “For the salad, keep it simple with an oil-based vinaigrette. Any vegetables are great, but he especially recommends those high in iron, like spinach, beets, asparagus, broccoli or romaine. You can also swap out the chicken for another lean meat, but make sure it’s grilled, steamed, baked or broiled.”
For dinner, Khloé says Dr. Goglia recommends an 8 oz. piece of fish or protein plus four ounces of yams. And when she’s craving a snack or something sweet, Khloé reaches for options that help keep her energy up, like fruit, nuts, and vegetables.
If you’re considering trying a low-carb diet, take Khloé’s advice: “Don’t let yourself get hungry.” Amen to that.
