One reason we all love Kelly Clarksonbesides, ya know, that fabulous voice: her grace and honesty in the face of unending discussions (including body-shaming comments) about her weight. The Voice coach and host of a new talk show, Clarkson promotes body positivity and always comes across as comfortable in her own skin, and she has talked openly about her 37-pound weight loss. So, how did she do it?
No, she told Extra in a red carpet interviewI literally havent worked out at all! Clarkson said, I think people think Im working out and Im like, Dont think Im going to come play some sport! In fact, she said on Twitter that she hates working out. Im sweaty, red, and not any thinner. people say its good for your heart.... but people also say red wine is good for your heart. I mean, Im just stating facts here people. Who am I to ignore science?!
She credits a book, The Plant Paradox by Steven R. Gundry, M.D. It's basically about how we cook our food, non-GMO, no pesticides, eating really organic," she said. Clarkson read the book for medical reasons, she told Extra: I did it for this autoimmune disease that I had and I had a thyroid issue, and now all my levels are back up. Im not on medicine anymore because of this book. It wasnt about the weight, Clarkson told Today: For me it was that I'm not on my medicine anymore."
Rumors flew around earlier this year about how she actually slimmed down. But Clarkson smacked down the false claims Twitter: Other fake news thats going around about me is that Ive been taking weird pills 4 weight loss or doing weird fad diets. All of this is not true. I aint got time 4 all that. I eat the same stuff I always have. Its all just made w/different flours/sugars/ingredients.
Its the same stuff you eatI just use different ingredients, she told Hoda Kotb on Today. Even like fried chickenI use cassava flour, tapioca, or almond flour, and you use non-hormone chicken.and honestly, Im going to be real with you: Its really expensive to do.
From the time she first appeared on American Idol people have been focused on her weight, but over the years she seems to have figured out how to brush it off. "Too skinny, too fat, too blondeso much blah, she told the Daily Mail in 2017. This is who I am and I'm happy. Happy looks different on everyone."
That same year, Clarkson told Redbook: If you gauge your life on what other people think, youre going to be in a constant state of panic trying to please everyone. People should just concentrate on their own lives and their own health and their own happiness, and whatever that looks like for you, be happy with it."
