Kelly Clarkson reveals how she 'dropped weight' after dramatic transformation

Kelly Clarkson has shared how she "dropped weight" after fans began speculating about how the singer and talk show host transformed herself last year.

The 41-year-old spoke to People about the changes she made, revealing the main thing she did was move from LA to New York City, meaning she is now walking a whole lot more than before.

"Walking in the city is quite the workout," she told the publication. "And I’m really into infrared saunas right now. And I just got a cold plunge because everybody wore me down."

When it comes to diet, Kelly revealed she listened to her doctor, who helped her to make better choices and follow a more protein-rich diet, while cutting down on carbs.

"I eat a healthy mix. I dropped weight because I’ve been listening to my doctor — a couple years I didn’t," she said. "And 90 percent of the time I’m really good at it because a protein diet is good for me anyway. I’m a Texas girl, so I like meat — sorry, vegetarians in the world!"

Fans noticed her weight loss after Kelly moved the show to New York City in the American autumn last year, with the star saying it was down to "healthier choices".

"Please share your secrets!" one fan wrote on an Instagram photo shared in October. "What are you doing to look so amazing!"

"Most likely Ozempic," another user responded, while some suggested it was "weight loss surgery", however, Kelly has never responded to these rumours.

Others insisted that "there's no magic to it" and that she was just eating healthier and moving more.

"Girl, NY and divorce look good on you," one user commented.

"Holy smokes girl! You look hot!" another added.

"You look amazing, now and before... you healthy and happy," a third said.

"NYC definitely agrees with you!! You look amazing!" someone else added.

Kelly filed for divorce from her former husband, Brandon Blackstock, in 2020 after nearly seven years of marriage, with the singer citing irreconcilable differences. The pair share two children River, nine, and Remington, seven.
