Kelly Clarkson’s Weight-Loss Medication Confession: ‘It’s Not Ozempic’
Kelly Clarkson is opening up about her weight loss.
On Monday, Clarkson revealed what is contributing to her weight loss during a conversation with Whoopi Goldberg on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”
When Kelly complimented Goldberg on looking younger, “The View” co-host commented, “First of all, it’s all the weight I’ve lost. I’ve lost almost two people.”
Without naming Ozempic directly, Whoopi added, “I am doing that wonderful shot that works for folks who need some help, and it’s been really good for me.”
In response, Kelly shared that she has dropped “a lot” of weight too. She noted, “Mine is a different one than people assume, but I ended up having to do that too because my bloodwork got so bad.
“My doctor chased me for two years, and I was like, ‘No, I’m afraid of it. I already have thyroid problems,” Kelly elaborated. “Everybody thinks it’s Ozempic, but it’s not. It’s something else."
According to Clarkson, the medication that she is taking “aids in helping break down the sugar.”
Kelly insisted that she was not taking Ozempic.
The two also revealed their weight before taking medication.
When Whoopi revealed that she had been 300 lbs., Clarkson said, “My heaviest, I was like 203 [lbs.] And I’m like 5'3" and a half.”
Months ago, Clarkson discussed her diet, telling People magazine, “I eat a healthy mix. I dropped weight because I’ve been listening to my doctor — a couple years I didn’t. 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!”
Kelly and Whoopi aren't the only ones losing weight, other big names have been revealing their secrets too!
