Kim Kardashian attributes post-pregnancy body in nude selfie to low-carb Atkins diet [PHOTO & VIDEO]
Or was she cheating by posting pre-pregnancy photo?
Reality star Kim Kardashian appear headed to break the Internet again by posting a nude selfie of her post-pregnancy body. The wife of Kanye West just gave birth to Saint West in early December 2015, meaning she appears to have gotten back the enviable form that first broke the Internet in November 2014. That was when her oil-covered body was the cover of Paper magazine.
She showed then her curvaceous and plump backside. This time, Kardashian took a frontal shot in front of a bathroom mirror, exposing her private parts. Since she posted it on her Instagram account, the photo has gone viral with more than 600,000 likes in a few hours and almost 90,000 comments.
However, since Instagram is strict on nudity, Kardashian placed two black bars on her breast and genital, but she captioned the photo: “When you’re like I have nothing to wear LOL.” In August, when Kardashian was still pregnant, she also posted a nude selfie to battle the body-shaming she was receiving, notes The Daily Beast.
Her slim physique, which would be the envy of other women who just gave birth, the reality star attributes to the low-carb Atkins weight loss diet that she has been following. Because of the diet, in January, Kardashian tweeted that she already shed 30 pounds, although she was targeting to lose 40 more pounds.
The Atkins Diet is built on the understanding that a person’s metabolism could use two different types of fuel for energy – sugar or fat. The type of fuel a person burns has a big influence on reducing or keeping weight. While the typical diet cuts calories but is still high in carbs, the Atkins Diet limits carbs, so the body burns fat. “This approach leaves the body steadily fueled, and weight is loss, even when more calories are being consumed,” explains the Web site.
There is no denying that Kardashian followed the Atkins Diet. However, there are doubts if the photo she posted is really post-pregnancy because a paparazzi photo of Kardashian taken on Saturday showed she has dark hair, although she is also often seen wearing a platinum blonde wig.
But in the nude selfie she just posted, she is peroxide blonde, notes Daily Beast which also points out that Kardashian has been known to Photoshop her selfies in the past, in effect, raising the question if the viral selfie is actually a pre-pregnancy photo.
