Kelly Clarkson has given her wardrobe a revamp, as she disclosed on her self-titled talk show during a recent episode. The Grammy winner, 41, revealed that she no longer relies on shapewear since losing weight, feeling more confident and at ease with her appearance.

“In this building it’s so cold,” the “Mine” singer told viewers while shooting The Kelly Clarkson Show at Rockefeller Center in New York City. “I don’t even need to wear Spanx anymore. I just wear them for warmth like thermals.”

Kelly Clarkson Continues To Open Up About Her Healthy Weight Loss Progress

The American Idol alum acknowledged her slimmer figure and accomplishment, and said to the audience: "Let’s just give a high-five. I don’t have to wear Spanx anymore if I don’t want to." The mother of two added: "Whatever. Life is good."

Over the past few years, Clarkson has gained a considerable amount of attention from her fans due to her weight loss and openness about her journey. Although there had been speculation about her potential use of Ozempic, a controversial diabetes medication rumored to aid in rapid weight loss, Clarkson has repeatedly emphasized that she achieved her results through a healthy and nutritious diet known as the ‘Plant Paradox Diet.’

In 2018, she made a significant acknowledgment about her weight loss during her conversation with Extra at the CMT Music Awards, where she looked radiant on the red carpet with her trim physique. She divulged that her diet and lifestyle underwent a significant transformation, all thanks to the inspiration drawn from The Plant Paradox, authored by Dr. Steven R. Gundry.

“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,” she said at the time. “I’m not on medicine anymore because of this book, it’s called The Plant Paradox. It’s basically about how we cook our food, non-GMO, no pesticides, eating really organic … Literally, I haven’t worked out at all!”

Based on the idea that lectins, a protein found in several everyday foods, can act as anti-nutrients and cause chronic health problems like obesity, autoimmune diseases, and inflammation, the 'Plant Paradox Diet' has emerged. According to WebMD, this dietary plan involves eliminating foods that contain lectins, including wheat, beans, potatoes, nuts, and dairy.

While appearing on the Today Show in 2018, the "Since U Been Gone" hitmaker shared details about her dietary routine and also provided a recipe for a more nutritious version of one of her preferred dishes. "It’s the same stuff you eat — I just use different ingredients," she dished to co-host Hoda Kotb. "Even like fried chicken — I use cassava flour, tapioca or almond flour, and you use non-hormone chicken. And honestly, I’m going to be real with you: It’s really expensive to do."

Implementing the strategies elucidated in The Plant Paradox, Clarkson effectively shed almost 40 pounds overall. Her stylish flair and healthy appearance continues to impress fans, evidenced by her talk show appearances and chic attire showcased in Instagram outfit pics!
