Khloé Kardashianknows that being healthy means incorporating the right habits into your daily lifestyle, not relying on short-term fad diets. But it’s a lesson that took the reality star years to learn.
Kardashian, 37,used to struggle with her eating habitsand often felt she was “punishing” herself when she ate anything she deemed unhealthy.
“I’ve actually always had a really unhealthy relationship with food,” shetoldHealthfor their November cover. “When I was younger and was sad, I would eat — I was an emotional eater. And then I hated the way I felt after that. I was almost punishing myself for binging or having a bag of chips — it just became so much thought.”
During that time, Kardashian would try out various diets without success.
“I had tried every diet under the sun,” she said. “Remember when Beyoncé did that lemon juice and cayenne pepper thing? I was like, sign me up! That’s why I yo-yoed my entire life — I was always chasing some fad.”

It all finally clicked into place in 2015, when she committed to a workout routine anddropped around 40 lbs.
“When I started working out, I decided to make some lifestyle changes. So I’d say, for example, this week I am just going to do one thing — I’m just going to cut out sugar. Then, maybe I’d try to do it for a month. After that, I’d try to incorporate another healthy change,” theKeeping Up with the Kardashiansalum explained.
These days, it’s all just part of Kardashian’s lifestyle.
“It’s about practicing healthy habits on a daily basis,” she said. “I have to think of it as a lifestyle rather than thinking I want to try this diet or some other thing someone was talking about. I’m so over that stage in my life.”
And Kardashian said her healthy outlook is far more than just physical.
