In a Zoom interview, Shelton revealed that in his early phases of isolation, he had developed harmful behaviors such as obsessive overeating, excessive snacking, and excessive drinking.
He gained a lot of weight as a result of his habits, which was worsened by the fact that he couldn’t work or go on tour at the time due to the epidemic.
Finally, the musician suffered a minor heart attack while attempting to complete some housework.
“My lifestyle had become something that was so detrimental to my health,” he revealed in the interview. “It wasn’t until that tightness in my chest that I understood those late-night cheeseburgers and additional beers with my pals were killing me.”
Although it wasn’t a full-fledged heart attack, his way of life was having a bad impact on his health. ” My doctor advised me to lose weight as quickly as possible and permanently in order to avoid further difficulties with my heart.”
After the scare, Shelton knew he needed to take control of his health and make some adjustments. He chose to try the ketogenic diet after consulting with his close friend and colleague The Voice judge, Kelly Clarkson.
The diet requires you to drastically reduce your carbohydrate intake in order for your body to enter ketosis and begin the process of burning fat. Shelton claims that the Keto diet helped him lose weight and that he is now in the best shape of his life as a result.
Shelton is fortunate to have recovered completely from his health scare. In fact, he is in better shape now than he was before his mild heart attack. Many people’s previously good health practices have worsened in the last six months as a result of the outbreak. His story can be a great example for those people.
Blake Shelton’s Honest and Hilarious Response to Winning the Social Country Star Award
Blake Shelton, the former coach of The Voice and host of Barmaggedon, had a refreshingly down-to-earth reaction to winning the Social Country Star award at the People’s Choice Country Awards. Despite his success, Shelton remained humble and happy about his unexpected achievement.
As Shelton accepted the trophy, he took a moment to reflect on his journey. “Wow,” he said, nodding to someone off-stage. “I moved to Nashville in 1994. And man, I had a lot of dreams.” He gazed at the cylindrical trophy in his hand and added, “This was not one of them!”
It’s worth noting that Shelton wasn’t being cheeky. In 1994, social media didn’t exist, and it would be years before it became a part of our everyday lives. The idea of receiving an award for being a Social Country Star would have seemed unimaginable back then.
In a lighthearted manner, Shelton confessed, “I don’t even know what this means, but if the fans want me to have it, I’m damn well gonna put it on my mantle! Thank you so much, country music fans. That’s right! That’s right, social media! Yes!” His words were met with laughter and applause as he pumped his fist and pointed to the audience.
Blake Shelton’s Entertaining Presence on TikTok
While Shelton may not fully understand how he earned the honor of Social Country Star, his fans and followers appreciate his award-winning content. On TikTok, he doesn’t hesitate to entertain viewers with off-the-cuff observations and glimpses into his life on the Oklahoma ranch he shares with his wife and fellow The Voice coach, Gwen Stefani. Recently, he even turned the camera on himself while out and about on his tractor.
His Instagram account features similar content, along with adorable pictures of Shelton and Stefani. The couple met while judging The Voice and tied the knot in 2020, adding a touch of romance to Shelton’s social media presence.
While Shelton used to be more active on Twitter, he isn’t as engaged on the platform X. However, in the past, he used it for mischief, as evidenced by his humorous tweet sharing colleague Adam Levine’s phone number.
The People’s Choice Country Awards: More Than Just Shelton
Although Shelton won the Social Country Star award, it’s important to highlight that he wasn’t the only favorite among the crowd. The People’s Choice Country Awards, which aired on NBC, featured performances by Shelton, Wynonna Judd, Dan & Shay, and more.
Other winners of the night included Morgan Wallen, who was named People’s Artist of 2023, Jelly Roll’s “Need A Favor” awarded as The Song of 2023, and HARDY’s “wait in the truck” featuring Lainey Wilson, which won The Music Video of 2023.
If you’re missing Shelton on The Voice, you won’t have to wait long to see him on your TV again. Not only will he be back for the second season of Barmaggedon, but he also has a special Christmas episode in the works. The episode, jam-packed with festive games like “Merry Axe-Mas,” “Christmas Carol-okie,” and “Little Drummer Boy (and Girl),” is sure to bring lots of joy.
