Pop singer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kelly-clarkson">Kelly Clarkson</a> recently discussed the conversation she had with her doctor which prompted her to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/obesity">lose weight</a>.
The 41-year-old made the revelation during a recent episode of her eponymous talk show while responding to guest Kevin James, who mentioned how great she was looking.
“Well, I was told I was pre-diabetic,” Clarkson responded with a laugh, per <a href="https://people.com/kelly-clarkson-says-pre-diabetic-diagnosis-prompted-her-weight-loss-8555725">People</a>. “That’s literally what happened… and well, I wasn’t shocked. I was a tiny bit overweight.”
“But I wasn’t shocked by it,” the “Because of You” singer added. “They were like, ‘You’re pre-diabetic. You’re right on the borderline.’ And I was like, ‘But I&#8217;m not there yet.’ And then I waited two years and then I was like OK, I’ll do something about it.”
Clarkson had previously spoken to People about how she achieved her <a href="https://www.today.com/health/kelly-clarkson-weight-loss-rcna131969">near 40 pound</a> weight loss, which she attributed to staying active and increasing her protein intake.
“We go walk the dogs a few times at the park. We&#8217;ll go for ice cream because my daughter will wear me down. We&#8217;ll go make slime and we go to the museum,”  the mom of two said, speaking of how she gets to exercise with her two children, 9-year-old River Rose and 7-year-old Remington Alexander. 
“Walking in the city is quite the workout. And I’m really into infrared saunas right now. And I just got a cold plunge because everybody wore me down,” she continued. 
Clarkson explained her eating habits, too. “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!”

“But I still splurge. The other night I had a frozen yogurt with my daughter, and it was magical,&#8221; Clarkson admitted.
Despite being overweight at different points during her career, Clarkson said it didn’t hinder her opportunities. “I got on the No. 1 television show at my heaviest point, because it was right after I had kids, and it was like they didn’t care,” Clarkson told <a href="https://www.today.com/series/love-your-body/i-can-t-compete-kelly-clarkson-being-body-shamed-t184435">Glamour UK</a> in 2020. 
“Paul (Telegdy, chairman of NBC Entertainment) hired me from NBC because he loved my personality, he loved that I connect with people and I’m really raw and real. It had nothing to do with my sex appeal or my look aesthetically. It had to do with me as a person. I think it’s really up to artists to force people to have that mentality.”
