Kelly Clarkson really wants people to chill out with the fake news.
Last night (May 16), the "Broken & Beautiful" musician was forced to take some time out of her busy schedule to put yet another rumor to rest, as the singer was recently accused of using weight loss pills and other unconventional dieting methods to shed weight. Clarkson says the gossip is "not true," and explained her "diet," for lack of a better term, is nothing unique â just a change of ingredients is all.
âOther fake news thatâs going around about me is that Iâve been taking weird pills 4 weight loss or doing weird fad diets,â the artist tweeted. âAll of this is not true. I ainât got time 4 all that. I eat the same stuff I always have. Itâs all just made w/different flours/sugars/ingredients. #DrGundry.â
Per the hashtag, the doctor Clarkson accredits her lifestyle change is Dr. Steven R. Gundry, MD, whose 2017 book, The Plant Paradox, inspired her to adopt more "clean eating" habits. The 37-year-old discussed her nutrition last summer, telling Extra, "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 continued: "Iâm not on medicine anymore because of this book, itâs called âThe Plant Paradox (by Steven R. Gundry, MD).â Itâs basically about how we cook our food, non-GMO, no pesticides, eating really organic... Literally, I havenât worked out at all!"
Clarkson later noted her weight loss was simply a side effect of controlling the medical condition.
Earlier this month, the "Behind These Hazel Eyes" musician underwent an operation to have her appendix removed after experiencing pain while hosting the 2019 Billboard Music Awards.
