Kourtney Kardashian’s Quotes About Her Body Evolution, Diet and More Through the Years

Making the right choices for herself. Over the years, Kourtney Kardashian has been candid about how motherhood influenced her body evolution. The reality star expanded her family with long-term boyfriend Scott Disick in 2009 when she gave birth to son Mason. She welcomed daughter Penelope in 2012 and son Reign in 2014. At the time, Kardashian opened up about putting too much pressure on herself to lose her baby weight. "I was working out and not eating enough," she admitted to Us Weekly in 2012, following her second child's birth. "I definitely pushed myself too hard." For the Poosh founder, becoming a mother changed her relationship with her body. "This time, the focus is really on being a mom and being present, knowing my priorities," she continued. "Sometimes I think, 'Why should I work out when I can spend time with my kids?'" Kardashian later addressed getting to a place where other people's comments about her body didn't affect her state of mind. "I gained a few pounds over this quarantine time, and I love my body and I’m proud of my shape and I’m obviously posting it and this is the shape of my body.’ I don’t think I look pregnant at all,” she explained in a YouTube video in 2020 after fans speculated that she was expecting a fourth baby. “We’re all shaped differently and that’s my body and I’m proud of it, so that’s how I respond to the negative comments. It’s not always easy.” [jwplayer IBtPj5aI-zhNYySv2] After finding love with Travis Barker in 2021, the couple decided to explore IVF treatment to have a child together. (The musician, for his part, shares son Landon and daughter Alabama with ex-wife Shanna Moakler. He is also a father figure to Atiana — who Moakler shares with ex Oscar De La Hoya.) "So, obviously my body has changed but it was all of the hormones that the doctors put me on," Kardashian, who exchanged vows with Barker earlier that year, explained to her friends during season 2 of The Kardashians in October 2022. "I think eight months of IVF treatment has definitely taken a toll on my body mentally and physically. It has taken a lot to get me to a place of feeling really comfortable and happy with the changes." While cameras were rolling, Kardashian recalled having to deal with criticism from strangers. "Everyone always comments on every photo that I am pregnant. Obviously, we wish for that but if it's in God's plan then it is," she noted. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum also spoke out about how her mental health altered her body in the past. "When I was super skinny, it is a time when I was super anxious. [It was] not about eating or staying at a certain weight but just in toxic relationships," she continued. "I would always say, 'If I am super skinny just know I am not happy.'"

2009

After giving birth to her first child, Kardashian opened up about her evolving diet.

“I was not raised this way — people just weren't as aware of healthy eating as they are today," she told Natural Health at the time. "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.”

During her second pregnancy, Kardashian broke down her different approach to food, telling Us, “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. I try to eat as fresh, organic and healthy as possible."

"It was harder to lose weight the second time around," the California native admitted to Us after her daughter's arrival. "I definitely had some moments when the weight was at a standstill. It was frustrating and I'd start to wonder, 'Am I ever going to get my body back?' Then I'd be like, 'OK, you just had two kids. Take it easy.'"

Kardashian detailed her intermittent fasting on social media, writing, "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.”

“My body never looked better than when I did the keto diet two and half years ago, when I did it for two months,” Kardashian wrote on Poosh in June 2019. “In my experience, I’ve found the best method to train my body to curb sugar cravings, burn fat and kick-start weight loss is by sticking to a keto diet.”

The TV personality later revealed she decided to try new things, telling Health Magazine in 2020, “In my house, we are gluten and dairy-free; my skin is very sensitive, and if I eat dairy, it affects it. I love doing a keto diet, though I’m not doing it now. I noticed my body change for the better.”

Since welcoming three kids, the businesswoman recalled gaining "exactly 40 pounds" during her pregnancies.

“I wasn’t into intense workouts when I got pregnant with Mason, and I wasn’t using a trainer at the time,” she wrote in an essay for Poosh in May 2020. “I was very into running, usually a quick two to three-mile run with some good music in my neighborhood, combined with some at-home workouts and uphill walks with the stroller.”

While filming an episode of The Kardashians, the socialite got honest about her body evolution through the years.

"My weight — I used to go so much by weight — I used to be 95 pounds. Then 105 became my new normal weight. I am 115," she explained. "I am so into my thicker body. I looked up photos of my body when I was so skinny — it is cringey."
