But Khloe, 39, hasn’t always had a great relationship with food.

She opened up about her struggles while appearing on the SHE MD podcast earlier this week.

The reality star joined her OBGYN, Dr. Aliabadi, on the show, where they discussed her life as a parent and her very public weight loss journey.

“Well I’ve worked really hard because I used to be overweight a lot of my life,” she admitted.

“So it took years for me. I’ve always been even chubby. Athletic, I’ve always played sports, I just was never in shape,” she recalled.

“My thing is more the food because I have the determination. So I had to retrain my mind as to what I could eat, what I couldn’t eat.”

Khloe continued, “And I used to be on, not necessarily a diet, but I would make lifestyle changes. I would cut out, let’s say, all sodas, little by little, I would cut things out.

“I would do that for a week and then cut out one other thing. I did every diet under the sun when I was younger.”

CHANGING HER TUNE

Khloe explained that she has changed her mindset regarding workouts and her relationship with food.

“I now work out five days a week, I do cardiovascular intervals with weight lifting. If I’m getting ready for a shoot I’ll do pilates and my workouts.

“Now that I’m in a good place body-wise, I do sort of eat what I want, but because my mind is so trained, you don’t even want half of the crap. Or if you do want something, like I love a pizza. Pizza is my weakness.

“But now that I’m in this different state of mind, I’m never going to eat a full pizza,” she shared.

EMOTIONAL EATING

Podcast host Mary Alice Haney then chimed in to share her own experience with nutrition, claiming that she personally struggled with “emotional eating.”

Khloe agreed, saying, “Yeah I used to be a major emotional eater for sure. But then when I was done I would be like ‘Wait, I feel so good eating and so bad after.’

“And then I would cry, and probably do it again. And then I was sad, so I needed the ice cream again.

“It was this crazy repeat cycle.”

STRIPPING DOWN

Khloe has completely transformed her figure in recent years, leaving fans intrigued about how she’s achieved her dream body.

Last month, the TV personality shared 𝑠e𝑥y snaps wearing a skimpy bikini while on vacation in Turks and Caicos.

The mother of two posed on a yacht in the Caribbean while using her phone, showing off her cut abs and trim legs.

Khloe teased her cleavage and showed off her tan in a black bathing suit set with a wrap skirt.

The Good American founder went barefoot, left her hair wet, and flaunted full glam makeup in the beachy look.

In the background, fans could spot the lavish wood detailing on the yacht and the crystal-clear blue water.

She captioned her post, “No Doubt.”

FAN SUPPORT

“What a perfect body! Can’t take my eyes away,” one fan gushed in the comments section.

“Looking flawless. This is your health’s wealth era! Keep going, KoKo!” a second encouraged.

“Serving legs! I see them abs forming!” a third complimented.

“You’re my dream girl! You are beautiful! Obsessed,” a fourth penned.

“Okay! Baddie with a body!” another agreed.
