All About Rachel Frederickson, Who Bagged The Biggest Loser Crown In 2014

(MENAFN- Live Mint) Rachel Frederickson gained significant attention when he was announced as the winner of reality show The Biggest Loser in 2014. But ever since her path to victory, Frederickson has remained away from the spotlight. Here's all you need to know about her.

The reality TV show, which was aired on NBC between 2004 and 2020, saw contestants competing with each other to lose weight. The person who lost the greatest percentage of their starting weight over a period of 30 weeks, was declared the winner and provided $250,000.

The Biggest Loser faced multiple criticisms, especially for asking contestants to restrict themselves to an 800-calorie diet as well as following up to eight hours of workout sessions on a daily basis. Earlier this month, Netflix revisited the show with a three-part documentary, named 'Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser'.
