...The 24-year-old shed 155 pounds, going from a starting weight of 260 pounds down to 105 pounds to the season-15 title. Her big reveal on the show’s finale prompted concern from viewers who thought her dramatic weight-loss was unhealthy.

"I'm extremely proud of the way I lost the weight," she told Us magazine, adding, "I did everything so naturally, and the athlete in me really came back."

But, she admitted in a separate interview with People magazine, "Maybe I was a little too enthusiastic in my training to get to the finale."

Frederickson said she maintained a 1,600-calorie daily diet and worked out six hours a day in the three months leading up to the finale. Producers also said she was carefully monitored throughout her seven-and-a-half months on the show, including in the days leading up to the final episode.

"Rachel passed all the required medical tests ensuring she was healthy," the show's executive producer, Dave Broome, told People.

I wish I had the freaking time to do 6 hours a day, but I'm too busy working 12 of them most days.

I think she looked great and is getting a lot of shit for being "too skinny" needlessly.

Everyone has 6 hours a day to exercise.

Well....my work day from the time I roll out of bed until the time I walk in the door in the evening after work....is 12 hours, then add 7 hours for sleep, then take off another hour a day for laundry, paying bills, housecleaning, and "relieving myself".....even at that I would still only have 4 hours average on a weekday. And my life is DULL by most standards....I can't imagine anyone else who actually has a real life being able to exercise for 6 hours a day.
