Natasha Henstridge has a warning to women who resort to some diets and pills to stay slim: there are physical consequences. She says the extreme pressure to stay thin in Hollywood led her to try a variety of things to keep her weight down.

'I've done some things that probably weren't the smartest things in the
world,' reveals Henstridge, now 34, of taking 'pills' and over the
counter supplements to give her an 'extra boost' to be thinner. 'I've
even been to Chinese herbalists who've given me herbs and acupuncture,'
she says, thinking that they were 'innocent and healthy.'

'All of a sudden when you decide to go clean, things are changing in your body because you [sic] done a bit of damage,' she says."

I've heard people have to be careful with things like herbs, but this is a good reminder!

Have any of you resorted to things to give you a "boost" to loose weight or keep it off? Have you suffered any adverse effects?
