Many of Blake Shelton’s fans noticed his significant changes in appearance when he recently appeared in a virtual concert. The 44-year-old country music star’s dramatic physical transformation was not done for vanity; rather, it was a result of a serious health scare.
Shelton alleged that he developed self-destructive behaviors like binge eating, overeating, and excessive snacking during the early stages of his isolation indoors. Shelton gained a concerning amount of weight as a result of his unhealthy habits and the fact that the epidemic prevented him from touring or working.
In a Zoom interview, Shelton discussed how his unhealthy routine has caused him to struggle with loneliness and anxiety. He felt defenseless and helpless. Because he was confined to his home, he was unable to motivate himself to take action or seek professional assistance.
To get back on track with better eating habits and an exercise regimen that eventually assisted him in losing the extra weight, he needed all of his willpower and the support of friends and family.
The musician realized his way of life had become seriously harmful to his health when he experienced a mild heart attack while attempting to complete some household tasks.
His health was getting worse from drinking beer and eating cheeseburgers late at night with friends, and the heaviness in his chest told him something wasn’t right.
After speaking with his doctor, it became clear that rapid weight loss was necessary to prevent further heart problems. This entails changing not only his short-term habits but also his long-term routine in order to incorporate healthy lifestyle choices and maintain his strength and fitness for years to come.
After his terrifying health crisis, Shelton came to the conclusion that he needed to be proactive about his health and make some significant changes. He decided to try the ketogenic diet after speaking with his close friend and The Voice judge, Kelly Clarkson.
This diet severely restricts carbohydrate consumption to induce ketosis, a metabolic state in which the body converts fat into molecules known as ketones, enabling it to burn fat for energy instead of carbohydrates.
The country singer believes that his improved nutritional status contributed to his being in the best shape of his life—better even than before the minor heart attack. When so many people are fighting to stay healthy due to the pandemic, Shelton’s story is a wonderful source of inspiration and encouragement for those trying to make positive lifestyle changes.
One can start following a healthy regimen similar to Shelton’s by making easy changes like cutting out processed foods high in carbohydrates, increasing leafy greens, and reducing portion sizes.
