Kelly Clarkson, 41, Discloses Her Diagnosis after Drastic Weight Loss

Hollywood star Kelly Clarkson has disclosed what she was previously diagnosed with after her drastic weight loss. Years ago, she previously addressed that she once went through a "very dark time."

In a recent episode of her talk show, "The Kelly Clarkson Show," Kelly Clarkson, 41, made a revelation about her health. Clarkson was joined by comedic actor Kevin James, whom she was interviewing.

As James entered the studio and sat down, Clarkson praised his appearance, saying he looked great. In return, James complimented the "Stronger" singer on how good she looked.

Clarkson then disclosed, "Well, I was told I was prediabetic [...] and I was like, well, I wasn't shocked. I was a tiny bit overweight [...] They were like, 'You're prediabetic; you're right on the borderline.' I was like, 'But I'm not there yet.' And then I waited two years [...] I was like, 'Ok, I'll do something about it.'"

At the beginning of January, Clarkson gave a candid interview in which she spoke about how she lost weight. The doting mom revealed, "Walking in the city is quite the workout. And I'm really into infrared saunas right now. And I just got a cold plunge because everybody wore me down."

Diet is also a big factor when it comes to staying in shape, and Clarkson makes sure she eats a "healthy mix" of food. She also divulged, "I dropped weight because I've been listening to my doctor — a couple of years I didn't. And 90 percent of the time, I'm really good at it because a protein diet is good for me anyway."

Years before sharing the aforementioned details about her health and physique, Clarkson opened up about the difficult time she was going through. In a past interview, she admitted, "I was really skinny and unhappy [...] I was miserable, like inside and out, for four years of my life [...] It was a very dark time for me."

Kelly Clarkson may have faced some challenging times in the past, including her and her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock's divorce, but in the recent interview she gave, she made it clear that she is taking back her power.

As previously reported on December 4, 2023:

Fans were taken aback by Kelly Clarkson's new Instagram posts featuring her slimmed-down size. Many couldn't believe it was the singer and flooded her comments section with their thoughts.

Clarkson dressed to impress at the Rockefeller tree lighting ceremony a few days ago. The singer donned a black top and boots and wrapped herself in a thick, furry white coat. Completing her look, Clarkson accessorized with big diamond hoop earrings and black gloves.

The singer also quoted her famous holiday song, "Underneath the Tree," while she smiled beneath the Rockefeller Christmas tree. The official "Kelly Clarkson Show" Instagram page also shared a short clip from the event.

While she looked absolutely stunning, fans focused on how much weight the entertainer has lost over the past months. Many commented on her post, claiming that she looked nothing like the Clarkson they knew. The person who they saw in the photos was "so tiny," one claimed.

Another person stated, "You look completely different." Someone else said, "Sorry, but it doesn't look like you." Similarly, another Instagrammer asserted, "This doesn't even resemble [the] gorgeous Kelly."

Clarkson's weight loss prompted fans to speculate about her secret, wondering if it was a ketogenic diet, a workout plan, or medication. A fan wrote on her Instagram post:

"No pics of working out like most celebrities do. It could only mean one thing. And since she refuse to address it, goces every reason to speculate [sic]."

Another social media user expressed, "I would love to hear how she lost the weight on her page. You can't believe any of these posts and ads." An Instagrammer asked, "Do we get to know about the secrets to your weight loss?" Still, someone else commented, "I really need to know how you lost all this weight." Another woman questioned, "Did she have a gastric sleeve or bypass?"

Fans have been wondering what Kelly Clarkson's secret was for many months and often comment on her Instagram posts. While Clarkson may not be posting her weight loss secret, she has talked about her health journey in the past. In 2018, she revealed that she had dropped the extra pounds by watching how she cooks her food.

Because of the book, "The Plant Paradox," she became conscious of the process of making her home-cooked meals. "It's basically about how we cook our food, non-GMO, no pesticides, eating really organic," she said.

In 2019, Clarkson addressed rumors about her taking weight loss pills and going on different diets. She assured her fans that she had been consuming the same things but made them with different, all-natural ingredients.
