Kourtney Kardashian attributes her consistently toned appearance to closely monitoring her diet and exercise regimen. The keto diet is one of her tried-and-true diets that helps keep her in shape.
According to a blog entry on her lifestyle website Poosh, she said that she started eating ketogenically a few years ago. For a metal detox, she says:
"My doctor actually placed me on the keto diet a couple of years ago. He discovered that I had significant levels of lead and mercury in my system after testing my muscles."
Kardashian's doctor had told her that one of the fastest ways to detox was to keep her body in a state of ketosis. She would usually check her blood sugar and ketone levels every morning while on diet to make sure she was on track.
She feels that her body has never looked or felt better than when she was on the keto diet. She found that it was the best way to train her body to curb sugar cravings, burn fat, and kickstart weight loss.
