During a recent episode of her talk show, the Kelly Clarkson Show, Kelly Clarkson shared that she had been told she was at risk for developing diabetes before deciding to lose weight. However, she did not start her weight loss journey right away.
"I found out that I was pre-diabetic. That's basically what happened," Clarkson explains to her guest on the show, actor Kevin James from King of Queens. "I wasn't surprised. I was just slightly overweight."
"They told me that I was at risk for developing diabetes, but I didn't take it seriously at first. After two years, I finally decided to take action."
Recently, Clarkson discussed her weight loss, mentioning that she lost weight by following her doctor's advice. She also credited her move to New York City for helping her adopt healthier habits for both her mental and physical well-being.
She expressed that she had been feeling unhappy in Los Angeles for a long time and was looking for a new beginning.
Clarkson moved her two children to the West Coast because they were also struggling. The family likes to stay active by taking advantage of the city's walkability and bringing their dogs to the park.
She credits her weight loss to her diet, saying that she eats a balanced mix of foods and is successful at sticking to it about 90% of the time. She believes that a high-protein diet is beneficial for her health.
"I come from Texas, so I have a preference for meat. Apologies to all the vegetarians out there!" Clarkson playfully remarked.
Following her divorce from Brandon Blackstock, the singer made the decision to move to New York and also relocate her TV show there. The divorce was officially completed in early 2022.
