During a recent episode of her talk show, the Kelly Clarkson Show, Kelly Clarkson shared that she was diagnosed as pre-diabetic before deciding to lose weight. However, she did not begin her weight loss journey immediately after the diagnosis.
Clarkson shared with her guest Kevin James on her show that she had been informed she was at risk for developing diabetes. She mentioned that she wasn't surprised by this news as she acknowledged she was slightly overweight.
"They told me that I was pre-diabetic, just on the edge of having the condition. I didn't take it seriously at first, thinking I wasn't at that stage yet," she explains with a chuckle. "After two years passed, I finally decided to take action and address the issue."
Recently, Clarkson discussed her weight loss, mentioning that she lost weight by following her doctor's advice. She also mentioned that moving to New York City helped her develop healthier habits, both mentally and physically.
She mentioned that she was feeling extremely unhappy while living in Los Angeles for many years and was looking for a new beginning.
Clarkson moved her two children to the West Coast because they were also not thriving in their previous location. The family likes to stay active by taking advantage of the city's walkable layout and bringing their dogs to the park.
She credits her weight loss to her healthy eating habits, mentioning that she consumes a balanced diet most of the time with a focus on protein, which she finds beneficial for her overall health.
As a native of Texas, Clarkson humorously mentioned her love for meat, apologizing to vegetarians everywhere.
After her divorce from Brandon Blackstock was finalized in early 2022, the singer made the decision to move to New York along with her TV show.
