After giving birth to her second bub on December 5, Kim Kardashian set herself the task of getting her body back to “2010 Kim.”

This meant losing about another 5kgs on top of the 27kgs she gained during her second pregnancy.

Six months on since promising herself and her 45 million Twitter followers that she would lose a total of 31 kilograms, the 35-year-old has now revealed that she has gotten herself down to a svelte 59kgs in a Snapchat pic.

Let’s find out just how she did it!

Kim has kept fans informed throughout the entire weight-loss journey.

Kim, pictured pregnant with her second child (L), wants to get back to her 2010 figure (R).

Kim gave away her biggest diet weapon back in January – around the same time she announced her exact weight loss goals.

“I’m so excited! I’m 30 pounds (13.6kg) down today but 40 (18kg) to go! I’m so focused,” she began before revealing the key to her diet.

“I will show you guys my workouts on my app and share by Atkins plan too!”

“Teaming up with @AtkinsInsider because it works for me! So much variety on #Atkins40 and Harvest Trail Bars = YUM,” she penned.

Kim is known for letting her fans in on her tips and tricks.

The renowned celebrity meal plan is nothing new to the mother-of-two, who previously turned to the Atkins diet after the birth of her first daughter North in 2013.

To get slim Kim back, the mother-of-two has indulged in a variety of foods including proteins in the form of fish, chicken, eggs and meat, lots of colorful vegetables and low-glycemic fruits such as berries and cantaloupe.

For her daily serve of dairy, Kim munches away on Greek yogurt and some (but not all) cheeses, and healthy fats like nuts, avocados and olive oil.

A typical day on the Atkins diet would see Kim starting with a breakfast made up of rolled oats, strawberries and pecans.

For lunch, the brunette beauty would munch away on a salmon Caesar salad with the dressing poured sparingly, and for dinner the KUWTK star would eat grilled chicken with asparagus, tomato and mozzarella.

To tide over the mid-morning and early-arvo tummy grumbles, she would also snack on cherry tomatoes, capsicum, peaches and cottage cheese.

The diet actually sounds rather delicious and perhaps more importantly, achievable.

As a meal plan, it aims to promote a quick but steady weight loss in the body by keeping carbohydrate consumption to around 40 grams per day.

And since Kim was a breastfeeding mother, the diet also ensured that she could lose around 900 grams a week without negatively impacting the nutritional qualities of her breast milk.

“#TBT skinny dayz #imissu,” penned the A-lister on Instagram with this throwback snap.

Because we simply can’t have one without the other, the mother of North, two, and Saint, five-months, also incorporates regular workout sessions into her daily routine.

By working her muscles with repetitions of 20 hill sprints, sets of sit-ups, jogging for endurance and stretches to lengthen muscle, she has been able to slim down and tone up at the same time.

You go, girl!
