When Blake Shelton recently performed an online concert, several of his followers noted substantial changes to his appearance. The 44-year-old country music star faced a significant health scare, and his spectacular physical makeover was not for show.
Shelton claimed that during his early confinement indoors, he developed unhealthy tendencies such as binge eating, overeating, and binge drinking. Shelton gained an alarming amount of weight as a result of his unhealthy lifestyle and the fact that the epidemic prohibited him from touring or performing.
Shelton explained in a Zoom interview how his unhealthy lifestyle has left him feeling lonely and anxious. He felt defenceless and helpless. He was stuck at home, unable to motivate himself to go or seek professional help.
To get back on track with improved eating habits and an exercise plan that would eventually help him lose the weight, he required all of his willpower as well as the support of friends and family.
The singer suffered a small heart attack while attempting to complete some household chores. At this moment, he realised how detrimental his lifestyle had become to his health.
His health was deteriorating from drinking beer and eating cheeseburgers late at night with pals, and the heaviness in his chest indicated that something was wrong.
He needed to drop weight immediately, according to his doctor, to avoid consequences from his cardiac issue. This means altering not just his short-term behaviours but also his long-term routine in order to embrace good living choices while maintaining his strength and fitness for years to come.
Shelton understood the need of being proactive about his health and making big adjustments following his scary health crisis. He chose to attempt the ketogenic diet after conversing with Kelly Clarkson, a personal friend and judge on The Voice.
This diet drastically restricts carbohydrate consumption in attempt to induce ketosis—a metabolic process in which the body transforms fat into molecules known as ketones—and allow the body to use fat as an energy source rather than carbohydrates.
The country artist maintains that the nutritional changes he made have improved his health even more than before the small heart attack. Shelton’s story is a tremendous source of inspiration and motivation for anyone seeking to make good lifestyle choices during a time when many people are struggling to keep healthy due to the pandemic.
