During a recent episode of her talk show, the Kelly Clarkson Show, Kelly Clarkson shared that she was told she was at risk for developing diabetes before she started her weight loss journey. However, she did not make the decision to lose weight right away.
"I was informed that I was at risk for developing diabetes. That was basically the situation," Clarkson shares with her guest on the show, actor Kevin James. "I wasn't surprised. I was just slightly above my ideal weight."
"They told me I was pre-diabetic, meaning I was very close to being diabetic. I didn't take it seriously at first, but after two years, I decided to take action."
Recently, Clarkson discussed her weight loss, mentioning that she lost weight by following her doctor's advice. She also shared that moving to New York City helped her develop healthier habits for both her mind and body.
She expressed her dissatisfaction with living in Los Angeles for a long time and felt the need for a new beginning.
Clarkson moved her two children to the West Coast because they were also not doing well there. 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, stating that she consumes a balanced and healthy mix of foods. She mentioned that she is able to stick to her diet 90% of the time, as a protein-based diet works well for her.
"I'm from Texas, so I enjoy eating meat – apologies to all the vegetarians out there!" Clarkson humorously stated.
Following her divorce from Brandon Blackstock, the singer made the decision to move to New York and also relocate her TV show. The divorce was officially finalized in early 2022.
