Gluten- and Dairy-Free

In September 2016, the star took to her website to reveal that she and her three children, Mason, Penelope and Reign, were going to eliminate gluten and dairy in their home. (She explained, however, that she would be less strict with her kids.) After following the dietary restrictions for two years, Kourtney reversed the decision, at least in part, posting on her site on October 10, 2018: “I noticed my tummy would hurt when I occasionally treated myself to ice cream or pizza, so I’ve switched things up. I’m trying to keep small amounts of both dairy and gluten in my system, so my body is used to it when I do have a little.”

Intermittent Fasting

The toned reality star revealed on her website in January 2018 that she practiced intermittent fasting “for 2-3 months” in 2017, and would “definitely try to do it again.” As Kardashian, who fasted in conjunction with the ketogenic diet, later explained, "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.–11 a.m.”

Apple Cider Vinegar

Natural food enthusiasts have long touted the powers of apple cider vinegar, and though it hasn’t been scientifically proven, many dieters swear the stuff serves as weight-loss aid. In January 2018, the reality star revealed on her site that she drinks a glass of water with one tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar shortly after waking up every morning (and 20 minutes after she takes her collagen supplements on an empty stomach, naturally). “Both of these habits have a ton of health benefits that affect everything from your skin to the way your body processes nutrients,” she wrote. Kourt also noted that she has another serving of vinegar water before dinner.

24-Hour Fasts

As if intermittent fasting weren’t enough! During the time when she was doing her daily 14 to 16 hour fasts, Kourtney would occasionally add in a 24-hour fasting period. On those days, she said she drank only water and bone broth. Not that it was easy, she admitted on her site: “On fasting days, I try to stay busy and, if I’m home, I’ll avoid going into the kitchen.”

QuickTrim Shakes

There was a time early in the dawn of the Kardashian family’s rise to fame that Kourtney could barely do an interview without touting the wonders of QuickTrim’s various shakes, bars and supplements. (She and sisters Kim and Khloé served as spokespeople.) “I’ve been doing this shake called Satisfy QuickTrim,” Kourtney told Us in April 2010 of what helped her lose the baby weight after welcoming Mason four months earlier. “It’s like you replace one meal a day with it, and it’s safe for breastfeeding. So that’s been helping too.”

Hot Water With Lemon

Five months after welcoming daughter Penelope in July 2012, the then mom-of-two posed for a post-baby photo shoot for Us Weekly’s Best Diets issue. She told Us that she and Kim, who were filming Kourtney & Kim Take Miami at the time, motivated each other to work out harder and eat better. “I’ll be like, ‘OK, Kim, I made a hot water with lemon, and we’re going to sip on this while we’re doing our buying for Dash,’ or whatever it is that we’re doing,” she told Us that December. “Just little things instead of sitting in the kitchen eating cookies.”

Vitamix Breakfast

In the same December 2012 interview, the entrepreneur told Us she was “obsessed” with the Vitamix she had recently obtained. “It’s life changing,” she said, adding that she uses it “every single day” to make a shake for breakfast. “I actually look forward to it,” she told Us of her blended a.m. meal. “If [Kim and I] work out, we have the shake right after.” Other uses for her Vitamix, she noted, included “lentil soup or butternut squash, or I had a really good tomato and zucchini soup the other day.”

Morning Ghee

One of the first alternative health habits she adopted was consuming ghee. “Every morning actually, one thing I do, too, I take ghee, which is clarified butter. And you take one teaspoon of it — I melt it on the stove and you take it before anything else,” she told Us in 2012. “It’s an Ayurvedic thing. It’s a good fat, and it’s only a teaspoon, and it kind of lines your insides, and, I don’t know, it’s just good for you.”

Detox Water

For when lemon water isn’t enough! In August 2017, Kourt shared her recipe for what she referred to as “detox water” on her site. “Since drinking enough water every day is a huge part of my wellness regimen, I have big pitchers at home infused with healthy ingredients,” she wrote. “Studies show that drinking 8 to 12 ounces of filtered water with fresh lemon first thing in the morning helps jump-start your metabolism and detox your body, while mint and ginger are effective in keeping your immune system strong.” Her combo included cucumber, lemon, ginger root, lime, fresh mint and Himalayan salt.

Frequent Small Meals

Though she cycles her way through the diet trends, the eldest Kardashian sister sticks to the tried-and-true basics too. “She eats very well,” a source told Us in September 2015. “She’s eating more frequently and eating smaller meals.” At the time, her motivation to slim down was scoring a revenge body after a recent split from the father of her children, Scott Disick. “Kourtney has made a lot of progress because she has really cut down on the amount of food she’s eating,” another insider revealed to Us at the time. “Kourtney’s motivation to look hot after Scott is really impressing her sisters and friends.”

Fresh, Organic Everything

“I don’t eat leftovers, we don’t freeze any meat in our house, we keep everything really fresh, and I don’t reheat things because bacteria can grow on it,” Kourtney declared to Us in 2012. “I try to eat as fresh, organic and healthy as possible.” At the time, she was still eating bread, though “not too much,” she said. But, she added, “I will indulge. If I am at someone’s birthday, I am going to have a piece of their cake. I’m not going to be like, ‘Oh I can’t eat that.’ Because that’s just me. You have to live."
