Shelton asserted that he formed destructive habits like binge eating, overeating, and binge drinking 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 made him feel lonely and anxious. He experienced a sense of defenselessness and helplessness. He was stranded at home, unable to motivate himself to leave 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.

While attempting to handle some household duties, the singer experienced a mild heart attack. At this point, he realized how harmful his way of life had become to his health.

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.

He needed to lose weight quickly, according to his doctor, in order to prevent complications with his heart condition. 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.

Shelton understood the need to be proactive about his health and make some significant changes after his terrifying health crisis. He decided to try the ketogenic diet after speaking with his close friend and The Voice judge, Kelly Clarkson.

In order to enter a state of ketosis—a metabolic process in which the body converts fat into molecules known as ketones—and enable the body to use fat as an energy source instead of carbohydrates, this diet severely restricts the consumption of carbohydrates.

The country singer claims that his improved health—even better than before the minor heart attack—is due to the nutritional changes he made. Shelton’s story is a great source of inspiration and motivation for people trying to make healthy lifestyle changes at a time when many people are fighting to stay healthy due to the pandemic.

One can start following a healthy regimen like Shelton’s by making easy changes like cutting out processed foods high in carbohydrates, increasing leafy greens, and reducing portion sizes.
