Kelly Clarkson Lost 60 Pounds and Here Are 4 Daily Habits She Uses to Stay Lean at 43
Talk show host Kelly Clarkson is quite the achiever. She's a talented recording artist, soon to be fulfilling a Las Vegas residency. On top of that, she lost 60 pounds and looks incredible. We all know that losing a significant amount of weight can feel like a full-time job—and so is keeping the weight off. With Clarkson's jam-packed schedule, we wanted to learn her secrets.
The best way to successful weight loss and maintenance is to have a plan you can stick with, so we're here with four daily habits Kelly Clarkson uses to stay lean at 43.
She Took a GLP-1
Using prescription weight-loss medication helped Clarkson along her health journey (via TODAY). In fact, the celeb revealed her doctor "chased" her down for about two years.
"I was like, 'No, I'm afraid of it, I already have thyroid problems. Everyone thinks it's Ozempic—it's not. It's something else. But it's something that aids in helping break down the sugar. Obviously, my body doesn't do it right," the singer shared on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
She Consumes Plenty of Protein
Clarkson revamped her diet, making sure to consume plenty of quality protein.
"I eat a healthy mix. I dropped weight because I've been listening to my doctor—a couple 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. I'm a Texas girl, so I like meat—sorry, vegetarians in the world," the American Idol alum told PEOPLE.
She Walks a Lot
After moving to the Big Apple, Clarkson started walking—a lot.
"We go walk the dogs a few times at the park. We'll go for ice cream because my daughter will wear me down. We'll go make slime and we go to the museum. Walking in the city is quite the workout," the celeb shared with PEOPLE.
She Doesn't Deprive Herself
The key to sustainable weight loss—and keeping the weight off in the long-term—means treating yourself every now and then. Clarkson still enjoys the foods she loves, in moderation.
"I still splurge. The other night I had a frozen yogurt with my daughter, and it was magical," she shared.
