During a recent episode of her talk show, the Kelly Clarkson Show, Kelly Clarkson shared that she had been told she was at risk of developing diabetes before she decided to start losing weight. However, she did not immediately start her weight loss journey.
"I was informed that I was pre-diabetic. That's basically what happened," Clarkson explains to her guest, Kevin James from King of Queens. "I wasn't surprised. I was slightly overweight."
"They told me that I was at risk of developing diabetes, but I didn't think it was serious because I hadn't reached that point yet," she says with a chuckle. "I waited two years before deciding to take action and do something about it."
At the beginning of the month, 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 expressed feeling very unhappy in Los Angeles for a few years and decided that she needed 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 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 mentions that she follows a protein-based diet most of the time because it works well for her.
"I come from Texas and I enjoy eating meat, my apologies to all the vegetarians out there!" Clarkson humorously remarked.
After her divorce from Brandon Blackstock was finalized in early 2022, the singer made the decision to move and also relocated her TV show to New York.
