[Kim Kardashian]Instagram/Kim Kardashian Kim Kardashian West lost 60 pounds recently, Entertainment Tonight pointed out. That's been largely thanks to the Atkins diet. But what exactly does she eat? Kardashian's nutritionist, Colette Heimowitz, recently told Business Insider about her effective diet. Here's a sample week in the life of dieting like the reality star. DAY ONE STARTS OFF WITH SCRAMBLED EGGS. Liz Barclay/First We Feast BREAKFAST: Scrambled eggs with turkey sausage topped with smoked Gouda 4 oz Greek yogurt with 1/3 cup fresh blueberries SNACK: Atkins Harvest Trail Dark Chocolate Cherry and Nuts bar LUNCH: Grilled lime chicken over a spinach salad with feta-ranch dressing SNACK: 1 medium carrot with 4 tablespoons of hummus DINNER: Lemon-tame halibut with sautéed green beans TOTAL CALORIES: 1504 NET CARBS: 40.2 THOUGH SHE DOES WATCH HER CALORIES, SHE DOESN'T TOTALLY STARVE HERSELF. AP Photo/Andrew Medichini Heimowitz says that's part of the plan. "The beauty about Atkins is you don’t need to do it with very low calories," Heimowitz said to Business Insider. "You can eat 1500-1800 calories a day, so you’re not starving . "You're fortified and never hungry, so you have less of a tendency to want to cheat," she said. (Although you'll notice there's no wine on Kardashian's plan, which might be a bummer to anyone who loves a glass of Pinot Noir with dinner who's trying to eat _exactly_ like her.) DAY TWO STARTS WITH OATMEAL. SHE EATS CARBS, EVEN THOUGH SHE'S WATCHING THEM. IT'S JUST IN DOSES.
