Hi
The emergency contraceptive pill is washed off from the body in few days. Therefore it has no long term ill effects. Therefore the need to undo the ill effects does not arise.
If frequently used it may cause temporary irregularity in menstrual cycles.
If you wish to avoid pregnancy I advise your girl friend to consult her family physician and start using hormonal contraception or have the intrauterine devise fitted. These methods are more effective than emergency contraception in preventing pregnancy.
As regards your girl friend regaining the body shape, I advise her to watch her diet or consult dietician. It is a good idea to join gym. In addition to helping in regaining the body shape it has several favorable effects on health and mind.
i hope I have answered to your satisfaction.
