Fat Feminist Fitness Blog

In this blog I hope to track my adventures in fitness, food justice, gardening and body acceptance. I will do so with a critical eye--examining how anti-fat bias, economics, class, sexism, urban (suburban and rural) development deprives us of satisfying movement, and how health is collective and personal.

Natasha Henstridge: Diets and Pills Damaged My Body

"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."
Now, the mom of two realizes that the diets and drugs were damaging. "All of a sudden when you decide to go clean, things are changing in your body because you done a bit of damage," she says. Sporting a curvier figure last month, Henstridge is happier – and healthier – than ever. "My body has definitely gone through a change since coming off all the crazy yo-yo stuff," she admits of putting on weight.

I am glad Natasha Henstridge is coming cleaning about the down sides of crazy Hollywood diets. A lot of people abuse their bodies in their 20's not thinking about the remafications of those yo-yo diets in their 40's or 60's. So I am glad she is giving a glimpse of what is like to have to deal with the aftermaths of yo-yo dieting.
