The 'American Idol' winner looked resplendent in a blue fitted coat-dress with black leggings. In the photo, the mother-of-two looked considerably slimmer which made her fans speculate the secret behind her weight loss.
While some of the fans claimed it was the effect of celeb-favorite drug Ozempic, others had her back and said the songstress has always claimed to have practiced 'plant paradox' diet.
'Most likely ozempic'
Clarkson inspiring weight loss journey and her stunning photo elicited a plethora of response from her fans. While one faction hailed her for her glamorous transformation, a few believed she used "ozempic" or "weight loss surgery" to get the coveted figure.
One of her fans exclaimed under her picture on Instagram, "Please share your secrets!! What are you doing to look so amazing!! 😍"
To which, someone else commented, " I'm sure it was weight loss surgery. Celebs are good at being secretive."
"Most likely ozempic," said another fan.
A fan chimed in, "Ozempic works wonders !"
"It's just everyone in Hollywood is losing weight so suddenly. . And are admitting to ozempic," said another.
However, several fans were quick to defend Clarkson as they theorized several healthy ways of weight loss based on proper diet and exercise.
One of the fans said, "Yeah from what I’ve read it’s a pretty strict lifestyle. I won’t lie to you, if I could afford ozempic, I would do it."
Someone else quipped, "Oh stop! Sick of everyone assuming when some looses weight they think it’s Ozempic 🙄."
Another fan said, "Plant Paradox diet, not ozempic from what I understand."
"Losing weight isn’t a secret it’s literally diet and exercise. Even on medication…," said another fan.
Another fan said, "Looks like someone is taking their life back 100%… you are just the sweetest human and deserve nothing but the best."
Someone else praised, "Kelly, you have been SERVING and SLAYING🔥🔥🔥🔥."
"Looks like someone is taking their life back 100%… you are just the sweetest human and deserve nothing but the best," another fan said with adulation.
Kelle Clarkson's weight loss secret
Despite her fans speculating ozempic to be her weight loss secret, Clarkson has always attributed special diet and exercises to be her key to weight loss.
Following her two pregnancies in 2014 and 2016, the 'American Idol' star has gained significant weight. She also faced criticism for her weight gain, per Life & Style.
In 2018, however, she appeared slimmer after losing about 37 pounds. The 'Stronger' singer attributed her weight loss to the “lectin-free” diet as popularized by Dr Steven Gundry’s book, 'The Plant Paradox'.
She told Extra in 2018, “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. I'm not on medicine anymore because of this book."
She explained, "It's basically about how we cook our food, non-GMO, no pesticides, eating really organic... Literally, I haven't worked out at all!”
She also told 'Today Show's Hoda Kotb in 2018 that weight loss was not her primary goal when she started the diet. She recounted to Kotb, "I had an autoimmune disease and a thyroid problem that started in 2006."
The 'Catch My Breath' singer quipped, "I know the industry loves the weight gone, but for me, it wasn't really (about) the weight. For me, it was 'I'm not on my medicine any more.'"
This was the time when Clarkson gushed about Dr Gundry's method as she blasted the trolls again in 2019 and wrote on her social media account, "Other fake news that’s going around about me is that I’ve been taking weird pills 4 weight loss or doing weird fad diets."
She vehemently denied the claims and pushed back, "All of this is not true. I ain’t got time 4 all that. I eat the same stuff I always have. It’s all just made w/different flours/sugars/ingredients. #DrGundry."
