'Biggest Loser' Winner Lost Too Much Weight?


I don't know if you guys have seen this story floating around lately, but it seems to be attracting chatter among the weight loss community. 'Biggest Loser' winner Rachel Frederickson lost 155 pounds in 7 months -- from a heavy 260 to a super slim 105 all within 7 months. Did she lose too much weight with her height of 5'4"? Probably. Yes.

EXTRA TV:

Frederickson, 24, sat down with People magazine just days after the win, revealing she was on a 1,600-calorie diet and rigorous 6-hour per day work out regimen leading up to the final episode.

"Maybe I was a little too enthusiastic in my training to get to the finale," she said.

 When asked if she had an eating disorder, Rachel said, “I am very, very healthy.”

Her trainer, Dolvett Quince, admitted he was “shocked” by her appearance. "The first thing that went through my mind was, 'That's just too much,'" he told the mag.

An insider at In Touch has also revealed that Rachel used an infrared sauna, which is known for burning calories and boosting metabolism. 

“She came in almost every day for two-and-a-half weeks before the finale,” the source at Firm Body Evolution in LA told the mag. “You can burn up to 600 calories in a half-hour session, although everyone is different."

Previously, trainer Bob Harper, who did not work directly with Frederickson, said he was also shocked by her weight loss. Past winners have been supportive of Rachel, saying she probably did it for the $250,000 prize.



In my opinion, she did lose too much weight, but time will tell. If Rachel was a bit too zealous in winning the competition, she can still easily add 5-10 pounds by cutting down on all the infrared sauna appointments. If she gets up to 110+ she will be seen as more healthy at her height of 5'4". Even myself at 5'3.5" my lowest weight ever was 109lbs.

Either way, she accomplished something that many struggle with everyday, losing weight. Even that first pound might have felt like a world away but perhaps Rachel got super excited when she saw the major changes in her body. Either way, she definitely shouldn't lose any more weight, just maybe add a few pounds.

Fast Food Chains: Ban Azodicarbonamide From Bread!

So you still want to eat processed foods? Subway just announced the chemical Azodicarbonamide is being dropped from their breads after an expose by Food Babe. Now upon further investigation, the chemical is also found in other fast food chain breads, including the supermarket staple Wonder Bread. This is so disgusting because this same chemical is used in yoga mats and the bottom of our shoes!! And we are wondering why people are so sick and disease infested?!?!?! Azodicarbonamide is banned in Europe so why not in the beautiful United States of America? Americans unite, demand this cruelty to the human race to stop!

The Daily Mail:
Subway is not the only company found to have products containing a chemical used to make shoes and yoga mats. 

It has been revealed that Arby’s, Burger King, Chik-fil-A, Dunkin’Dounts, Jack in the Box, Kentucky Fried Chicken and McDonald’s also use azodicarbonamide in rolls and baked goods – Subway announced this week it will drop the ingredient from its bread. 

MailOnline can further reveal that many popular store-bought baked goods, breads and toaster streudels also contain the potentially unhealthy chemical.

Eat fresh? YEAH RIGHT OK  Subway!!!!!!! Obviously eating the same chemical people use to do yoga positions on are OK to put in our mouth??!?! I won't be eating at Subway. Believe that!




Are you eating this banned ingredient?????

It's hazardous and banned around the world!!!!!! So how is it safe to eat? It's a very hazardous substance that's related to lung problems to workers exposed to it. AND WE ARE EATING IT.  You get fined and jailed in Singapore for using this!!!!! But it's legal here in the USA... yes the red white and blue!!!!



So do you eat yoga mat?
