When one curious fan asked the million-dollar question – "Respectfully, what is the weight loss routine?!?!" – Rachel responded with a thoughtful and introspective post. She began by acknowledging the invasive comments she received, saying, "I want to address this because the comments I've received are a reminder of how little we often know about what someone is really going through."

Rachel continued, "Everyone has seen a very small part of my life through a lens. I am constantly compared to a version of myself from a short time when, truthfully, I was really struggling." She revealed that she had been dealing with health issues towards the end of last year, which had taken a toll on her physical and emotional well-being.

The reality star candidly shared, "Today I'm in a healthier place, both physically and emotionally. This is the last time I'll speak on it, love you all." It's clear that Rachel has been through a lot, and she's finally finding peace and stability in her life.

But what exactly led to her dramatic weight loss transformation? According to sources close to Rachel, she had been working hard on her fitness and wellness journey for months. Insiders claim that she had been following a strict diet and exercise regimen, which ultimately paid off with incredible results.

Rachel's decision to speak out about her health struggles comes just a year after she penned a powerful personal essay for Today, discussing her choice to undergo breast reduction surgery in 2023. In the heartfelt piece, she revealed that she first started considering the procedure at just 17 years old, feeling "defeated by my body" and struggling with back pain.

Rachel wrote about her experience with the surgery: "I never heard anyone talk about this procedure, and I felt so defeated by my body. I had waited years for this. And the moment I opened my eyes and got off the table, I knew my life had changed — for the better." She added that she was finally able to wear clothes that made her feel comfortable and confident.
