"Biggest Loser" winner Rachel Frederickson has been denying rumors of having an eating disorder.
As the photo of Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper's shocked reactions went viral, serious rumors have been circulating concerning Frederickson's health.
The L.A. resident had lost 155 pounds in the course of seven months and shocked viewers with her size 0-2 body frame.
Even her own trainer, Dolvett Quince, had admitted that he was "shocked" by her appearance.
He continued to tell People, "The first thing that went through my mind was, 'That's just too much."
The voice-over artist has been asked directly whether she has an eating disorder, which she responded to by saying "I am very, very healthy."
According to E! News, the executive producer of the "Biggest Loser" has stated, "Rachel passed all the required medical tests ensuring she was healthy."
Former "Biggest Loser" winners have been commenting on the eating disorder accusations, according to examiner.com.
Season 10 winner, Patrick House, stated, "She did what she had to do. Rachel's transformation was like any 'Biggest Loser' contestant. She had to do the best she possibly could because a quarter of a million dollars was up for grabs."
Season five winner, Ali Vincent, added, "Rachel chose to win. I know what it's like. I gave it every single thing I had. I was working out from 10 in the morning to 2 in the morning. Is that healthy? No! But it was a conscious adult decision to win. I weighed 122 pounds (from her previous 234 pounds) at the finale. I took a drink of water and I gained weight back."
Despite the eating disorder rumors, Frederickson has remained positive.
During a press conference with reporters, the former swimmer stated, "I'm going to try new exercises and continue on this path and see where it takes me - finding that balance!"
She continued, "I've officially found that proud, confident girl that I lost. I was an athletic national-level swimmer, and to have that athlete come back again, it's just truly an amazing feeling and I'm going to embrace the new me and continue this journey. Any my body is going to balance and find its way with the new maintenance and it will be perfect."
