Kelly Clarkson's weight loss journey: From the daily bustle to appearing on stage for performance to the quite early morning walks, Kelly Clarkson's weight loss journey over the year has caught many by surprise. The 43-year-old singer has always been open about her weight loss journey to fans and the changes she made in recent years.

Kelly Clarkson's weight loss journey

'Because of You' singer told the media that she started to see changes in her physical appearance, attributing it to certain diet and exercise habits she cultivated after moving to New York City, where she hosts 'The Kelly Clarkson Show'. According to the singer, she started eating a very high-protein diet that led to her transformation. Other factors that contributed to Kelly Clarkson's weight loss include walking, eating more protein and medication to regulate how her body processes food.

Kelly Clarkson's Ozempic rumours

While internet users claim that Kelly Clarkson might have taken Ozempic, which is a drug particularly designed to treat Type 2 diabetes, but also used for treating obesity. When chatting with Whoopi Goldberg, who brags about using Mounjaro, another weight loss drug made to treat the chronic disease, confirmed the rumours that she is taking weight loss medication beyond Ozempic.

"My doctor chased me for like two years, and I was like, 'No, I'm afraid of it, I already have thyroid problems,'" she explained. "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 'Stronger' singer further added that she did not notice how much weight she had gained before starting her medication. However, seeing herself on camera one day prompted her to pause and question herself 'Who the f**k is that?' In her words, "My heaviest, I was like 203, and I'm 5 foot 3 and a half. It's funny because people assume, 'Oh she must've been miserable, depressed, whatever,' and I was like, 'No I was not.' I was never insecure about it. I was happy."
