Kim: “I want to be the skinniest sister!”
Pals say size 6 Kim Kardashian has embarked on an intense fitness and diet regime to outshine her siblings
She’s accustomed S to grabbing the headlines with her famous hourglass figure. But last week, Kim Kardashian came under fire after appearing to revel in her shrinking frame, proudly boasting that she was down to less than 8½st.
The 5ft 2 mum of three – who highlighted her tiny waist in a cut-out top and tight-fitting velvet trousers – faced a backlash from fans after excitedly sharing a string of online videos. In the clips, sisters Kendall, 22, and Khloé, 34, accused her of “not eating” and describe her as looking “skinny” and “anorexic”.
One fan blasted, “What kind of bulls**t message does this send out to your mainly young and female audience?”
Another fumed, “I’m sorry but Kim Kardashian being called ‘anorexic’ by her sisters, and her joyful reaction to that, is actually disgusting.”
OBSESSED
But pals say Kim, 37 – who previously weighed around 9st and is believed to have slimmed from a size 8-10 to a 6 – loves the attention and is now, shockingly, on a mission to become the “skinniest” sister.
A source reveals, “Kim’s always been known as the sister with the curves, but the others have been stealing her limelight with their curvy figures. Now she’s become obsessed with being the thinnest.
“She’s been intermittently fasting, which involves only eating during an eight-hour period of the day. And in a bid to burn fat, she works out on an empty stomach after 16 hours of fasting. She’s cut back on carbs and eats mainly vegetables and protein, restricting her calories to just 1,200 a day. She loves to shock people with her body and craves that kind of attention.”
And despite being widely criticised over her promotion of “appetite-suppressant lollipops”,
the reality star is intent on doing all she can to maximise fat loss, according to insiders.
The source adds, “Kim’s a fan of fat-burning injections, metabolism-boosting supplements and non-invasive body contouring treatments, which help zap stubborn pockets of fat. She’s also upped her morning workouts to two-hour sessions, and gets up at 6am to exercise with her bodybuilder trainer, Melissa Alcantara. She also squeezes in another hour of cardio before she goes to bed. Her sister Kourtney is a similar height and weighs just 7st, so Kim’s ultimate goal is to weigh less than that and get to a size 4.”
UNFLATTERING PHOTOS
Kim – who is mum to North, five, Saint, two, and six-monthold daughter Chicago, whom she had via a surrogate – was left devastated last summer when unflattering bikini snaps showed off her dimpled bum while she was on holiday in Mexico.
At the time, she insisted, “These photos make me look so fat,” and later embarked on a strict shape-up regime. But insiders say friends now fear the star is taking things too far.
The source adds, “Kim hated those photos and it really pushed her to overhaul her body. But while she originally just wanted to tone up, her friends say she now wants to shed as much weight as possible and go from curvy to skinny.
“But Kim has always been really curvaceous, and there are fears her 7st goal is unrealistic and dangerous, especially as she has no plans to lose her big bottom. She’s working out for hours a day and barely eating. They don’t feel this extreme regime can go on much longer before she pushes herself to complete exhaustion.”
ANOTHER BREAKDOWN
To add to Kim’s woes, it was reported last week that Kanye’s dad Ray was receiving treatment in LA after being diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Kim lost her own father Robert to oesophageal cancer in 2003, and has watched her rapper husband struggle with his emotions from the death of his mother Donda in 2007, following complications from plastic surgery. He suffered a nervous breakdown in 2016, and insiders say Kim fears Kanye could be pushed to the brink again.
The source adds, “Kim’s petrified this latest bombshell could send Kanye spiralling into another breakdown. She’s keeping a close eye on him and is trying to give him the support he needs.”
