Kelly Clarkson's Weight Loss with Plant Paradox Diet of over 40 lb

Kelly recently revealed that she has lost about 40 lb following a diet that is based on the best-selling book The Plant Paradox by Dr. Steven Gundry. This diet is based on restricting gluten along with other types of “lectins” from your routine. Lectins are a type of protein that are present in foods such as nuts, vegetables, and fruits.

Last year, Kelly tried this Plant Paradox diet, which nixes lectins for better management of her thyroid and her autoimmune condition. However, she also ended up losing quite a bit of weight, which was definitely a plus point for the singer in terms of her overall health.

According to Gundry, eating lectins is harmful for the body as they could cause inflammation in the body or result in the “leaky gut” syndrome. Lectins are commonly found in foods such as peanuts, soy, pepper, potatoes, quinoa, tomatoes, and eggplant.

Clarkson followed this Plant Paradox diet and avoided lectins from her diet completely. She further avoided foods that were high in sodium, such as processed and saturated foods along with reducing the consumption of cream and butter. All this helped Kelly Clarkson's weight loss journey to be successful.

Overall, the lectin-free diet has worked wonders for Kelly Clarkson's weight loss; however, this does not automatically mean that it would work for you. This restrictive diet can be difficult to follow, especially with no scientific evidence backing the lectin-free diet or demonstrating the harmful response of lectin to your body.

Even if you want to try out this diet, you should definitely consult a medical professional as heavy restrictions on diet can result in cutting back on the nutrients that are essential for the body.
