Kelly Clarkson<\/strong><\/a> has proven once again that she can look amazing in any outfit, from casual streetwear to evening attire. The American Idol<\/em> alum showed off her slim figure in a T-shirt and jeans look that left fans in awe.<\/p>\n Kelly, 41, took to Instagram on Friday, January 19, to share a video promoting a popcorn brand. Her recent weight loss was on full display in the clip, as she sported a graphic short-sleeved T-shirt from the rock band Talking Heads, which was tucked into a pair of black high-waisted flare jeans. She finished off the look with a black belt, a long gold chain necklace and gold hoop earrings. Her hair was swept up into a ponytail with a yellow hair tie, and her bangs rested neatly across her forehead.<\/p>\n Fans flooded the comments to shower Kelly with compliments. \u201cLookin\u2019 good Ms. Clarkson!\u201d one fan wrote, while another user added, \u201cKelly, you look amazing!!\u201d<\/p>\n Other fans asked for the \u201cSince U Been Gone\u201d hitmaker\u2019s weight loss secrets. While there has been a buzz surrounding Kelly\u2019s new figure since the summer of 2023, she only recently opened up about how she managed to shed more than 40 pounds<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWalking in the city is quite the workout,\u201d Kelly told People<\/em><\/a> in an interview on January 3. \u201cAnd I\u2019m really into infrared saunas right now. And I just got a cold plunge because everybody wore me down.\u201d<\/p>\n In terms of dieting, Kelly said she \u201ceats a healthy mix,\u201d but she credited her weight loss to \u201clistening to [her] doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cA couple years I didn\u2019t. And 90 percent of the time I\u2019m really good at it because a protein diet is good for me anyway,\u201d she concluded. \u201cI\u2019m a Texas girl, so I like meat \u2014 sorry, vegetarians in the world!\u201d<\/p>\n Kelly\u2019s weight loss journey dates back to 2006, when she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder and a thyroid problem. She took medication for the issues but eventually stopped and made lifestyle changes instead.<\/p>\n Kelly\u2019s pregnancies with her kids, River Rose and Remington Alexander \u2014 whom she shares with ex Brandon Blackstock<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 contributed to her weight fluctuation over the years. However, in 2018, she revealed that a book about lectin-free diets written by Dr. Steven Gundry<\/strong>, called The Plant Paradox<\/em>, helped her shed 37 pounds.<\/p>\n \u201cI did it for this autoimmune disease that I had and I had a thyroid issue, and now all my levels are back up. I\u2019m not on medicine anymore because of this book,\u201d she told Extra at the time.<\/p>\n Of course, there have been rumors that Kelly took Ozempic<\/a> \u2014 the type 2 diabetes drug that is often prescribed off-label for weight loss \u2014 to get her slim figure last year. However, a source exclusively told Life & Style<\/em> in October 2023 that this was not true.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s limited her sugar and carb intake. She\u2019s cut out soda, chips, biscuits, cheese and tortillas. And she\u2019s added exercise, mostly cardio, into her weekly routine. She\u2019s lost about 40 pounds. She feels amazing,\u201d the insider said, noting that the \u201cStronger\u201d singer gained weight during her divorce from Brandon, 47, but then worked it off.<\/p>\n Though Kelly initially kept quiet about her weight loss this time around, she became more open about the subject toward the end of 2023. She\u2019s gotten candid about the struggles of shopping with a new body and the tighter outfits she\u2019s wearing these days. She\u2019s also joked about everyone talking about her weight loss.<\/p>\n \u201cIt turns out I\u2019m sexier in New York<\/a>,\u201d she told guest star Jon Cryer<\/strong> on her talk show on January 10, referring to her move from Los Angeles to New York<\/a> last year. \u201cI was just making a joke because everyone\u2019s talking about [it]. Turns out I was a dog in L.A. I was just kidding. I\u2019m totally kidding!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
