RHOBH Star Kyle Richards Shares Weight Loss Journey and Fitness Routine: 'I've Reached My Ideal Weight'

The Beverly Hills housewife, Kyle Richards, first revealed her impressive weight loss results in early 2023 and she is now candidly discussing her current weight while on her fitness journey.

“I have no desire to lose any more weight. I stand at a mere five-foot-two, and the heaviest I've ever reached was 132 pounds, which I recall was after I had vacationed in Europe. Now, my weight has stabilized to 117 pounds,” Kyle, aged 54, disclosed to Us Weekly on Wednesday, December 27.

Her commitment to a healthier lifestyle began after she underwent a breast reduction surgery in 2022, which necessitated an eight-week break from physical exercise. During this time, she vacationed in Europe where she indulged herself with pasta, wine, and cocktails.

“Upon my return, I hardly recognized myself. I was also dealing with the loss of my best friend [Lorene Shea] due to suicide, and I was neglecting my own well-being. This was contributing to my depression,” she confessed to the outlet. “So, after our departure, I decided enough was enough. I was going to avoid bad carbs – no sugar, no pasta, no bread, no alcohol – and I would exercise every single day.”

Kyle has remained true to her word - she works out every day, refrains from alcohol, and prepares her meals at home, to ensure total control over what goes into her food. Her go-to meals consist of a protein shake, oatmeal or fruit for breakfast, and grilled chicken or fish accompanied by salad for lunch and dinner.

The former child star's fitness journey and sobriety have taken the spotlight in the thirteenth season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Some of Kyle's fellow cast members, like Sutton Stracke, speculated that her newfound lifestyle could be a by-product of her separation from her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky. However, Kyle, widely known for her role in Halloween Kills, clarified the reason behind her decision to lead a healthier life.

“It's baffling to me why doing something beneficial for oneself should be scorned. If I'm up at five o' clock, why shouldn't I engage in activities that uplift me and boost my energy levels?” Kyle questioned. “Perhaps it mirrors something they dislike about their own lives.”

The television star confessed that she hasn’t had a trace of alcohol since July 15, 2022, and she does not miss it.

“After indulging in a couple of glasses of wine, I would wake up feeling sluggish and that would result in me skipping my workout. I would feel weary and would find myself craving In-N-Out. It was just a chain reaction,” Kyle disclosed. “I was never an ardent consumer of alcohol, so one might wonder the degree of impact it could really make. But it truly does.”
