Kim Kardashian has taken to Snapchat to show off her sudden six pound (3kg) weight loss.

The 36-year-old reality star posed in a barely-there silver sequinned bikini on the floor in front of a mirror for her social media selfie.

After welcoming son Saint in December 2015, Kim revealed she was determined to lose 70 pounds (32kg) — a goal she exceed just one year later.

"My butt and my hips are the last to go, but I'm not stopping!" she told People. "After having two kids, and being able to get in shape and still feel good about myself, I've never felt better. I worked my a-- off, I've altered my life and I'm proud of that."

But the mother-of-two’s sudden weight loss wasn’t thanks to diet or exercise - controversially she thanked the flu in a since-deleted tweet.

“The flu can be an amazing diet. So happy it came in time for the Met lol,” she wrote.

While Kim was pleased with her unexpected slim down, fans were not so supportive.

Twitter users slammed Kim on social media, with users annoyed she was crediting a “life-threatening” illness for her weight loss.

One Twitter user wrote: “Did Kim K really say the flu is an amazing diet????”

Another shared: “It sends dangerous messages and supports not being healthy as a valid weight loss technique.”

“So the key to being skinny is starving, got it,” one fan wrote, and another said, “Can you please stop with this? Illness is not a way to get slim.”

The reality star is well known for her efforts to stay in shape over the years.

Kim followed the Atkins diet - a low carb meal plan - to help her slim down after her two pregnancies.
