Kelly Clarkson’s dramatic weight loss has some fans wondering if she turned to the drug Ozempic to achieve her slimmed-down figure. She hasn’t shared many details about how she achieved her new body, causing followers to speculate about the use of the semaglutide.

Did Kelly Clarkson Use Ozempic to Lose Weight?So far, the daytime talk show host has not discussed the topic, nor has she revealed how she shed such a noticeable amount of weight over the summer and into the fall.

In the comments of a November 9 Instagram photo Kelly posted where she appeared to be eating ice cream, fans speculated about how she lost so much weight so quickly. “Kelly is very upfront about not exercising, it’s Ozempic,” one person wrote in the comments while another added, “Ozempic looks good on you!”

Another person commented, “Her fans deserve to know the truth of her weight loss,” while one follower wrote, “No way she lost that much weight that fast. Medication.” Another echoed the sentiment, sharing, “She looks great, but it seems like she lost a lot of weight in like two weeks!”

What Has Kelly Clarkson Said About Her Weight Loss?While fans have been begging Kelly to share her weight loss secrets, she did acknowledge her new body and one of the fashion downsides about it during the November 7 episode of her talk show.

Guests Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Bush shared a throwback photo from their childhood, noting they were “chubby” while growing up. Kelly joked that she went through “many stages” of being “chubby,” and noted how she now has a problem wearing jeans.

“I don’t fit into mine! I love losing weight. But jeans are so hard. I feel like jeans are so hard when you have a butt and like, a smaller waist,” she shared, adding, “This is a first-world problem, I realize. And it’s a great problem,” about her tinier frame.

Kelly revealed in 2018 that she lost 40 pounds after reading Dr. Steven R. Gundry’s book, The Plant Paradox, as it changed the way she ate. “It’s basically about how we cook our food, non-GMO, no pesticides, eating organic,” she told Extra, adding that she did it for medical reasons.

“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.

During an appearance on NBC’s Today that year, Kelly shared how she used “different ingredients” in the foods she ate. “Even like fried chicken — I use cassava flour, tapioca, or almond flour, and you use non-hormone chicken,” adding, “And honestly, I’m going to be real with you: It’s really expensive to do.”

How Did Kelly Clarkson Lose Weight?A source told Life & Style on October 27 that Kelly’s weight loss was not because of Ozempic use. “She’s limited her sugar and carb intake. She’s cut out soda, chips, biscuits, cheese and tortillas. And she’s added exercise, mostly cardio, into her weekly routine. She’s lost about 40 pounds. She feels amazing,” an insider revealed.

The “Stronger” songstress’ new figure is more noticeable after she put on pounds during her contentious divorce from Brandon Blackstock, which was finalized in 2022. “Kelly, like many people, can be an emotional eater, so she gained weight during the divorce,” said the source.

Kelly Clarkson Reveals She Doesn’t Need to Wear Spanx Anymore After Dramatic Weight Loss

Kelly Clarkson has revealed she no longer needs to wear Spanx following her dramatic weight loss. The news came as she played a singing game on the December 8 episode of her daytime talk show and let it slip.

While playing “Christmas Carol Finish the Lyric” alongside vocal director Jessi Collins, Kelly, 41, complained she was “cold” in her Rockefeller Center studio and said, “In this building, it’s so cold. I don’t even need to wear Spanx anymore. I just wear them for warmth like thermals,” referring to the shapewear.

The “Stronger” singer cheerily added, “Let’s just give a high-five. I don’t have to wear Spanx anymore if I don’t want to. Whatever. Life is good.”

During the segment, Kelly rocked a pair of black pleather pants that showed off her tiny waistline along with a white blouse and black necktie.

The Texas native has talked about her weight loss but hasn’t revealed the secret behind how she shed the pounds over the summer. That has led to speculation among some fans that she may have taken the weight loss drug Ozempic.

In the comments of a November 9 Instagram photo Kelly shared where she appeared to be eating ice cream, fans wrote in the comments about her slimmed figure. “Kelly is very upfront about not exercising, it’s Ozempic,” one person said while another added, “Ozempic looks good on you!” One person noted how quickly she slimmed down, writing, “She looks great, but it seems like she lost a lot of weight in like two weeks!”

The Grammy winner first sparked notice about her new figure when she performed on NBC’s Today on September 22 wearing a black jacket and glittery leggings. The following day in Las Vegas, Kelly did a set at the iHeartRadio Festival wearing a black blazer, black lace leggings, and thigh-high boots.

Throughout her fifth season of The Kelly Clarkson Show, she’s shown off her shrinking frame in a series of outfits that have showcased her slim down. While fans have been begging for her weight loss secrets, Kelly finally acknowledged how her body had changed during the November 7 episode of her talk show while chatting with guests Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Bush.

The sisters shared a throwback photo, claiming they were “chubby” as children. Kelly sympathized, saying she had been through “many stages” of being “chubby,” and noted how she now had a problem wearing jeans because of her weight loss.

“I don’t fit into mine! I love losing weight. But jeans are so hard. I feel like jeans are so hard when you have a butt and like, a smaller waist,” she shared, adding, “This is a first-world problem, I realize. And it’s a great problem,” about her slimmer frame.

Kelly Clarkson accused of using Ozempic to shed weight after debuting trimmer physique

Kelly Clarkson is sporting a much thinner frame these days, and it has her fans and critics curious how she dropped the weight.

It’s no secret that celebrities are under immense pressure to stay thin.

With busy professional and personal lives, many of them have looked for a way to shed unwanted pounds.

Ozempic, known generically as semaglutide, is a drug approved by the FDA to treat type 2 diabetes. It helps lower blood sugar by helping the pancreas make more insulin.

Despite its intended use for those with weight-related health issues, many have turned to the once-weekly injection simply as a weight-loss aid.

Kelly Clarkson’s slimmed-down physique is raising eyebrowsThat’s the case with Kelly Clarkson, who has recently shown off a more slender-than-usual physique.

It seems that Kelly’s weight loss is ongoing, and her fans (and critics) are certainly taking notice.

In one of Kelly’s recent Instagram posts, the Since U Been Gone crooner plugged Snoop Dogg’s ice cream brand, Dr. Bombay.

Kelly enjoyed a pint of the frozen goodness in her Instagram upload as she sat on top of a freezer full of ice cream.

The 41-year-old mom of two donned a casual sweater, jeans, and boots, showing off her new svelte figure.

“@Snoopdogg out here sending me the best munchies ever,” Kelly wrote in the caption. “Thank you for the ice cream! My favorite is the Iced Out Orange Cream!”

More than 144,000 of Kelly’s Instagram followers tapped “like,” and in the comments section, thousands of her fans gushed over her new-and-improved appearance.

There were quite a few comments from some Instagram users who accused Kelly of using Ozempic to drop weight.

Is Kelly using Ozempic to shed unwanted pounds?“Wow ozempic ??” asked one of Kelly’s followers.

Another of Kelly’s fans noted that Kelly has been “very upfront about no exercising,” adding, “It’s Ozempic.”

Others chimed in, sharing similar sentiments, such as, “Ozempic looks good on you.!” and “Ozempic and ice cream taste great.”

“All the celebrities are on OZEMPIC,” wrote another Instagram user.

Celebrities are jumping on the Ozempic trendAmong the celebrities who have admitted to taking the type 2 diabetes drug are Sharon Osbourne, Tracy Morgan, Emily Simpson, Chelsea Handler, and Amy Schumer.

Amy has been outspoken about her experience taking Ozempic and revealed that the side effects were too much to bear, so she stopped.

In June 2023, Amy talked about her experience on an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.

Not only did Amy claim the medication made her feel “so sick” and too weak to function, but she also called out other celebrities who have denied taking the drug.

“Everyone has been lying, saying, ‘Oh, smaller portions.’ Like, shut the f**k up. You are on Ozempic or one of those things, or you got work done. Just stop,” Amy said.

Kelly Clarkson admittedly ‘loves losing weight’Kelly recently opened up about losing weight, although she didn’t reveal how she’s managed to shed pounds in the past few months.

During an episode of her show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, Kelly sat down with Jenna Bush Hager and her twin sister, Barbara Bush, as they discussed being “chubby” in their younger years.

Kelly admitted that she’s gone through “many stages” of being heavier than she would have liked.

“I love losing weight, but here’s the thing,” Kelly noted. “Jeans are so hard when you have a butt and a smaller waist.”

Kelly talks about being ‘bigger’ than her American Idol competitorsDuring an interview with PEOPLE in 2017, Kelly opened up about her struggles with her weight and revealed that she was body-shamed, even at her thinnest.

“Even on American Idol, I was really thin, but I was bigger than the other girls on the show, so people would say things to me,” Kelly shared.

“But luckily, I am super confident, so I’ve never had a problem with shutting people down and saying, ‘Yeah, you know, that’s just what I’m rocking. It’s fine.’”
