Kelly Clarkson Says Weight Loss Is Thanks to Prescription That’s Not Ozempic

Kelly Clarkson recently hosted Whoopi Goldberg on her show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and she kicked things off by telling Goldberg that she looked great, looking younger every time they meet. Goldberg, who co-hosts The View, attributed it to all the weight she has lost, saying she has lost almost two “people.”

Using Tools to Help

Whoopi admitted that she’s using a common prescription medication that many celebs are using to lose weight, and while Kelly has also shared a lot of weight, she shared that she’s using a different medication thanks to bad bloodwork.

Kelly’s doctor tried to motivate her to try a medication for two years, but she was afraid due to her thyroid as well as other health issues. However, in the end, she gave in because she needed the medication to help her body break down sugar properly.

Total Amount Lost

Both Clarkson and Goldberg got candid about how much they had weighed before, with Clarkson sharing that she was 203 pounds even though she’s only 5’3″ tall, and Goldberg said she was 300 pounds.

It wasn’t the first time that Kelly had discussed her weight loss. In January, she shared how the reason she’s been able to make big changes is because she’s finally listening to her doctor after not doing so for a couple of years.

How Clarkson Lost Weight

Another thing that’s really helped her is moving to New York City, thanks to the amount of walking she does there. Using an infrared sauna and doing cold plunges have helped a lot, too.

When it comes to diet, Kelly said she eats well, eating a “healthy mix” and lots of proteins thanks to being a Texas girl who loves her meat. She jokingly apologized to vegetarians.
