Kelly Clarkson Key to Losing Weight

The Texas native admits she still eats chicken-fried steak, but also has days when she prefers salads. "I love healthy stuff and junk an equal amount," she tells the magazine. "Whatever I'm craving, I go for it."

Her secret to losing weight, in fact, is to not go on a diet: "For me, it's the times when I'm not paying attention that I end up losing weight. But I'm never trying to lose weight – or gain it. I'm just being!"

I wish more starlets were like Kelly Clarkson. She comes from a place of balance. For here she is not diet obsessed. She is just trying to live a balance life and sometimes that means weight lost, weight maintenance, or weight gain.
