Natasha Henstridge Admits To Taking Dangerous Diet Pills

Natasha Henstridge admits that she felt so pressured to stay thin in Hollywood she spent years swallowing a cocktail of diet pills in order to keep her weight down, insisting her dangerous obsession with staying thin seriously damaged her body.

She says:

“There’s always pressure in this business to stay thin to the degree that I’ve done some things that probably weren’t the smartest things in the world. I’ve probably taken some pills that are taken off the market these days, that were like, ‘Oh, but it just gives me an extra boost when I’m working out,’ and it seems innocent enough and it’s over the counter. Those things have a huge effect on your metabolism and all of a sudden, when you decide to go clean and healthy, things are changing in your body because you’ve done a little bit of damage.”

“I’ve been to Chinese herbalists who’ve given me things. When you’re doing some things that are damaging you, you don’t really realize it at the time. You think it’s innocent and healthy – Chinese herbs. That sounds healthy and then you realize, what the hell is in the stuff? And people glamorize the whole thing because you’re thinner and you’ve been doing this stuff to your body.”

And on her now curvier figure she says:

“My body has definitely gone through a change since coming off all the crazy yo-yo stuff”
