Kelly Clarkson has revealed what doctors told her that prompted her to lose weight.

The 'Because of You' singer has been a hot talking point online due to her amazing weight loss transformation but she recently revealed the reason that initially forced her to go on the wellness journey. Check out her comments below:

During a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson show, guest and actor Kevin James mentioned how well the host was looking these days.

"Well, I was told I was prediabetic," Clarkson said, adding that she was not really shocked by the diagnosis because "[she] was a tiny bit overweight."

"You’re prediabetic, you're right on the borderline," she recalled the doctor telling her. "I was like ‘But I’m not there yet.'"

Despite making light of it in the moment, the 41-year-old took her weight loss journey seriously though it did take her approximately two years to start implementing healthy habits to reach her goals.

In an interview with PEOPLE earlier this year, the star gave fans an in-depth look at her beauty regime as well as the tips and tricks she uses to keep herself looking and feeling good.

After relocating to New York City to take her eponymous show to the next level, Clarkson honed down on her routine in order to achieve her desired body goals and take better care of her health.

"Walking in the city is quite the workout. I’m really into infrared saunas right now. And I just got a cold plunge because everybody wore me down," she said.

When it comes to her diet, the Grammy-award-winning singer said that she "[eats] a healthy mix."

"I dropped weight because I’ve been listening to my doctor - a couple years I didn’t," she continued. "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!"

However, that doesn't mean the talk-show host has cut out everything she loves.

"But I still splurge," she told the outlet. "The other night I had a frozen yogurt with my daughter, and it was magical."

And it seems as though all the work is paying off because her fans just can't get over how incredible she looks.

Clarkson posted a photo back in October showing off one of her favorite looks which involved a gorgeous mini dress, black tights, and heeled boots. The star's hair and makeup were done as boldly as the colors on the dress, showing off her transformation over the year.

"Please share your secrets!!" one user begged. "What are you doing to look so amazing!!"

"Looks like someone is taking their life back 100%... you are just the sweetest human and deserve nothing but the best," added another.

"Looking fabulous. New style team is great," a third also stated.

We're totally inspired and we're glad to see that Kelly's focussed on her wellness!
