Nutritionist Cheryl Forberg, RD, has worked with contestants on “The Biggest Loser” since day 1. The James Beard–award winning chef and educator has been a behind-the-scenes fixture for almost all of the 15 seasons, coaching contestants on all things food—from portion control, to nutrient content, to to healthy recipes. In fact, she was in almost constant contact with season 15’s controversial winner, Rachel Frederickson, according to an article Forberg just penned for the Huffington Post.
Here’s what she had to say about Frederickson:
I am always asked if I’ve had favorite contestants over the years. Naturally I do, but I haven’t singled anyone out. Rachel Frederickson would definitely be high on this list. From the beginning of the season, she has been positive, inquisitive and focused, in terms of learning and living the eating plan I teach.
When Rachel returned home in late October (after becoming a finalist) she couldn’t have been more motivated to continue on her successful trajectory. She sent me photos of her cooking creations and always posed great questions about continuing to improve her food choices and nutrition.
I’m extremely proud of Rachel. I am confident she will continue on her path to find her ideal weight and I am excited about her future.
