KELLY Clarkson hasn’t given up indulging in decadent foods on her recent fitness journey.
On Thursday’s episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Kelly prepared herself a big juicy burger during the program’s cooking segment.
Datz Deli owner Josh Dat joined Kelly, 41, on her show to inform her how he put together his eatery’s famed Mac Patty.
The two wore an apron over them, which had The Kelly Clarkson Show name printed on it, to shield their outfits from the messy meal they were making.
For today’s program, the American Idol Season One winner sported a graphic T-shirt, and skintight high-waisted dark denim jeans that spotlighted her slimness.
It was apparent how much weight she had shed by how the ensemble fit on her figure.

Kelly’s weight loss is the start of a healthy new chapter following her divorce from her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, 47.
An insider outlined to The US Sun how Kelly combines smart eating choices and regular exercise in her new adopted home of New York City to stay healthy and focused throughout 2024 and beyond.
“Kelly has lost about 40 pounds in the last six months and it’s gotten her fans excited about it but it’s not quite as big a deal for Kelly herself or the team on the show because Kelly is constantly updating her look, her workouts and her diet,” the source revealed.
Asked what Kelly’s colleagues think of her weight loss, the source said: “Internally it didn’t play like a massive transformation the way it has for her fans and people observing from the sidelines.

“I think Kelly would be personally offended if her recent weight loss was linked to her being single again.
“That’s not where Kelly is coming from at all. She’s constantly evolving, and she’s always been that way.”
A NEW BEGINNING
Kelly, who has been hosting hit talk show The Kelly Clarkson Show for almost five years, married Brandon in 2013.
She filed for divorce from the son of her former manager Narvel Blackstock and stepson of country music legend Reba McEntire in 2020, citing irreconcilable differences.
It was announced that the divorce had been finalized in March 2022.
The mom-of-three showcased her stunning new physique at the 2024 Grammys last weekend, accompanied by her mini-me son, Remington, 7, on the red carpet.
Last month, Kelly revealed on her show that a driving force for her change of lifestyle was that doctors had told her that she was pre-diabetic.
“I was told I was pre-diabetic. That was literally what happened. I wasn’t shocked. I was a tiny bit overweight, so I wasn’t shocked,” Kelly said.
“But they were like, ‘You’re pre-diabetic. You’re right on the borderline.’”
In a recent interview with People, she also shared how living in New York has played a big part in her new lifestyle reboot.
“Walking in the city is quite the workout,” the Grammy award-winner said.
“And I’m really into infrared saunas right now. And I just got a cold plunge because everybody wore me down.”
HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE
Elaborating on her diet, she revealed: “I eat a healthy mix.
“I dropped weight because I’ve been listening to my doctor — a couple years I didn’t.
“And 90% 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.”
The source added that Kelly’s big priority moving forward – besides staying healthy – is to keep up the success of her talk show, which is winning big ratings after launching in September 2019.
