Kelly Clarkson Opens Up About Being ‘Pre-Diabetic’ Before Weight Loss Journey

  • by

During a recent episode of her talk show, the Kelly Clarkson Show, Kelly Clarkson shared that being told she was at risk for pre-diabetes motivated her to start losing weight. However, she did not begin her weight loss journey right away.

Clarkson shared with her guest, Kevin James, that she was informed she was pre-diabetic. She wasn't surprised by the news, as she acknowledged that she was slightly overweight.

"They told me that I was at risk of developing diabetes, but I didn't take it seriously at first," she explains with a chuckle. "I waited two years before deciding to take action."

In a recent statement, Clarkson mentioned that she had lost weight by following her doctor's advice and credited her healthier lifestyle to her move to New York City.

She mentioned that she was feeling very unhappy in Los Angeles for a long time and was seeking a new beginning.

Clarkson moved her two children to the West Coast because they were also not thriving there. The family likes to stay active by taking advantage of the city's walkable nature and bringing their dogs to the park.

She credits her weight loss to her diet, mentioning that she consumes a balanced and healthy mix of foods. She says that most of the time she sticks to her diet, as she finds that a high-protein diet works well for her.

Clarkson, who hails from Texas, humorously expressed her preference for meat over vegetarian options.

Following her divorce from Brandon Blackstock in early 2022, the singer made the decision to move to New York and also relocate her TV show.
