Kelly Clarkson’s Weight Loss Is Nothing Short of Inspirational! See Before and After Photos
She’s conquered Hollywood, but all eyes are on Kelly Clarkson‘s weight loss! The TV host has spoken out about finding self-confidence and her experience using a weight loss drug.
“Even on American Idol I was really thin, but I was bigger than the other girls on the show, so people would say things to me,” Kelly told People in November 2017. “But luckily, I am super confident, so I’ve never had a problem with shutting people down and saying, ‘Yeah, you know, that’s just what I’m rocking. It’s fine.'”
She initially credited the book The Plant Paradox for her new diet.
“I literally read this book, and I did it for this autoimmune disease that I had, and I had a thyroid issue, and now all my levels are back up. I’m not on medicine anymore because of this book,” she told Extra in June 2018, revealing she lost 40 pounds.
