Kelly Clarkson shared on her talk show, the Kelly Clarkson Show, that she was told she was at risk of developing diabetes before she decided to lose weight. However, she did not start her weight loss journey right away.
Clarkson explains to her guest on the show, Kevin James, that she was informed she was pre-diabetic. She wasn't surprised by this news because she knew she was slightly overweight.
"They told me that I was at risk of developing diabetes because my blood sugar levels were high, but not quite at the diabetic range," she explains with a chuckle. "I didn't take it seriously until two years later when I decided to take action."
Recently, Clarkson discussed how she lost weight by following her doctor's advice. She also mentioned that moving to New York City helped her develop healthier habits for both her mind and body.
She expressed that she had been dissatisfied living 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 not adjusting well there. The family likes to stay active by taking advantage of the city's walkability and bringing their dogs to the park.
She believes her weight loss is due to her diet, stating that she consumes a balanced diet and sticks to it 90% of the time because a high protein diet works well for her.
"I come from Texas, so I have a preference for meat – my apologies to all the vegetarians out there!" Clarkson said humorously.
After her divorce from Brandon Blackstock was finalized in early 2022, the singer made the decision to move and also relocate her TV show to New York.
