Hollywood star Kelly Clarkson has disclosed her health diagnosis following her significant weight loss. In a recent episode of “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” the 41-year-old singer and talk show host revealed a key aspect of her health journey while interviewing comedic actor Kevin James. As James entered the studio, Clarkson complimented his appearance, to which he returned the favor. Clarkson then shared, “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.'”
Journey to Weight Loss
At the beginning of January, Clarkson gave an open interview discussing how she achieved her weight loss. She shared that walking in the city provided quite the workout and expressed her newfound interest in infrared saunas and cold plunges. Additionally, Clarkson emphasized the importance of diet in maintaining her shape, revealing, “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.”
Overcoming Dark Times
Before delving into her health journey, Clarkson had spoken about a difficult period in her life. 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.” Despite facing personal challenges, including her divorce from Brandon Blackstock, Clarkson made it clear in her recent interviews that she is reclaiming her power and focusing on her well-being.
Fans’ Reactions and Speculations
Clarkson’s dramatic transformation has not gone unnoticed by her fans. Her slimmed-down appearance at the Rockefeller tree lighting ceremony drew significant attention. Many fans were taken aback by her new look, with some commenting, “You look completely different,” and others speculating about the methods behind her weight loss. The singer’s posts on Instagram were flooded with questions and assumptions about whether her secret was a ketogenic diet, a workout plan, or medication. Despite the speculations, Clarkson has remained focused on her health journey rather than addressing the rumors directly.
Clarkson’s Approach to Weight Loss
Fans have been curious about Kelly Clarkson’s weight loss journey for months. While she may not be posting specific details about her regimen, she has been open about her approach to health in the past.

In 2019, she addressed rumors about taking weight loss pills and different diets, assuring her fans that her approach was all-natural and focused on healthier cooking methods. Clarkson’s dedication to her health and authenticity continues to inspire her fans.
