Khloe Kardashian has had a roller-coaster year. The reality TV star succeeded in rocking her weight loss and flaunting her fabulous body, even penning a new book, Strong Looks Better Naked . But Khloe also suffered with intense stress as she sought to support her estranged husband, Lamar Odom, following the bombshell that he had been found unconscious in a brothel after an alleged drug overdose and booze binge. Now, however, Lamar is on the road to recovery , as the Inquisitr reported.
And with the improvement that Odom has shown, Kardashian has gradually stopped going so frequently to the hospital where he is staying and enjoying time with family and friends. Most recently, her desire for R&R took her to St. Barts, where Khloe decided to display her nude body to the world, complete with gobs of glitter on her derriere, reported the Mirror .
From abs to caboose, Kardashian bared it all, covered only with some glitter courtesy of Joyce Bonelli, who is the make-up artist for the Kardashians.
The motivation for combining a naked body with glitter was apparently due to boredom, so Khloe and Kendall Jenner devised the bare scheme and got Joyce, a hair expert, Jen Atkin, and a photographer, Mike Rosenthal, who is Atkin’s husband, to join in the fun.
“Even though I’ve worked really hard on my mind and body to get to this point, I am still shocked I had the courage to do this shoot,” admitted Kardashian.”I think I had a little too much liquid courage (and I’m not getting any younger so it’s now or never, LOL!) which actually made me follow through with it.”
But now that the results have traveled around the world, Khloe has no regrets.
“And I am so f***ing happy I did because I think these pictures are to die for! I cannot believe how unbelievably gorgeous they are!” she said proudly.
Khloe Kardashian Shares Best Weight Loss Secret
With all that evidence that Kardashian is succeeding with her weight loss plan, she shared her best diet tip for shedding pounds fast, reported Reveal .
And Khloe claims it’s surprisingly simple: Just cut out the dairy.
“I’m obsessed with cheese and milk,” explained Kardashian. “But eliminating them from my diet made the biggest difference. In a month and a half, I lost 11 pounds just from not eating dairy, without doing anything else different, and that totally blew my mind.”
In addition, Khloe drinks a lot of water, takes vitamins, and works out intensely. She feels the result has benefited her skin as well as her figure.
“I’m way healthier now than I ever was,” boasted Kardashian. “I stay really hydrated by drinking five liters of water and taking vitamins every single day. Working out also makes my skin look better… Everything looks better!”
Khloe Kardashian Supports Lamar Odom
But all that attention to her body doesn’t mean that Khloe is neglecting Lamar. Kardashian continues to support Odom, revealed People .
Concern still surrounds Lamar because of the problems with communication, memory, and movement. The 36-year-old former NBA player and 31-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star remain legally married, and an insider shared with People that Khloe won’t just abandon him, but does need to care for herself.
“The Lamar situation still weighs on Khloé. She’s not one who just walks away. She’s going to be there for him, but she also needs to start focusing back on herself – and she knows that.”
Khloe emphasized her support previously in autumn.
“There is a very long road ahead of [Lamar],” noted Kardashian. “He has to walk that road by himself, and, most importantly, he has to want to walk that road. I will be there supporting him every step of the way.”
But Khloe seeks to look ahead, added People ‘s insider.
“Khloé is so looking forward to this year being over: 2015 was a hard one to say the least. She feels like the new year will bring new things, and she certainly deserves it.”
Kardashians Exploiting Lamar Odom?
As for the recovery and progress that has been reported, some new reports indicate that those stories about Odom and his new ability to walk without help are false, according to IBT , which cited an inside source contradicting the tales of a holiday miracle .
“Lamar has made great improvements after the overdose, but he is not walking and unfortunately there is no Christmas miracle for his condition,” said that insider. “He’s still in pretty bad shape.”
Why lie? Because allegedly the Kardashian family is worried that they’ll get slammed when Lamar exits Cedars-Sinai due to the decrease in visits and the news that Khloe refuses to let Odom move into her home to finish his recovery. As a result, the insider revealed that Lamar’s team thinks that the Kardashians are exploiting Odom.
“From filming the night Lamar first overdosed to sneaking cameras into Cedars, people in Lamar’s camp believe there is nothing the Kardashians won’t do to exploit the entire situation!” added the insider.
