The story of the superstar singer and songwriter became famous after she had lost part of her body weight due to a weight loss drug, which she has yet to reveal to the world, but definitely not Ozempic, one of the most used drugs for weight loss. In one of her recent daytime talk shows, she confirmed herself that indeed she had lost some weight.
Kelly Clarkson, the 42-year-old lady, a Grammy award winner and the host of The Kelly Clarkson Show in New York, USA, as narrated by her, she had her own issues reducing her weight and it’s never about people’s judgments and speculations to be made by the world behind her actions to lose weight.

Is Kelly Clarkson suffering from any illness?
At the recent 2024 Daytime Emmy Awards, she showed herself wearing a long red, super-shining magenta gown and putting a huge smile on her face.

In one of the episodes of her talk show, she told the world of her conditions. She narrated how she changed her lifestyle habits, making sure she didn’t fall over the border line to being diabetic.
Kelly Clarkson once read a book about the Plant Paradox diet, which claims that a common protein, lectin, is found in common foods like legumes, beans, potatoes, etc. And this is one of the many anti-nutrients causing many chronic health problems like Obesity, chronic inflammation etc.
She said during an interview, “I literally read this book, and I did it for this autoimmune disease that I had and I had a thyroid issue and now all my levels are back up. I haven’t worked out at all.”
The plant paradox is concerned about the fact that lectin causes long term illness and the diet plan is to cut off foods like wheat, beans, potatoes, nuts, beans and legumes that contain high amounts of Lectins. Generally lectins are proteins that strengthen carbohydrates chains and cannot be broken easily. Foods containing lectins should be cooked thoroughly because they could cause stomach problems.

How did Kelly Clarkson lose Weight?
Everyone thinks that it’s Ozempic that did the magic but unfortunately it’s a big no to Kelly Clarkson’s journey.

She narrated her medical history of being unsure whether to take a drug or not because of her underlying health conditions she’s still struggling with.
“My doctor chased me for like two years and I was like, ‘No I’m afraid of it, I already have thyroid problems,” She said. Kelly Clarkson did not even notice she had added more weight before she began any medication. It was later she got to know herself on camera and asked who is this? She said. This made her unaware about her size and she is concerned less about it. But people have different notions as to why she is adding more weight; is she depressed? Or sick.
She also had to change her lifestyle to preserve herself and her health. She moved from the city of Los Angeles to New York City owing to the fact that she’s not happy in L.A and had been like that for several years. She claimed that a fresh start was needed and the city was affecting her mental health. She concluded that in this new city, New York, she had acquainted herself with wellness updates. She said in an interview with People. California, “I am really into infrared saunas right now. And I just got a cold plunge because everybody wore me down”.
And when it comes to her diet, Kelly Clarkson has been doing well. She said she dropped weight because of the adherence to Doctors’ instructions and before she’s not been listening to her doctor. And she’s been on a protein diet, claiming it is good for her, especially meat. Kelly Clarkson’s experience in her weight loss journey is really something even though she did not reveal the name of the weight loss drug she used apart from Ozempic – the popular weight loss drugs mostly used by celebrities nowadays.
