14 DAY TRIAL // Tori Spelling is still struggling to save her marriage to Dean McDermott after he was publicly shamed for cheating on her late last year but that’s not her only problem right now: a new report claims that she’s eating so little these days that she’s become underweight.
She’s always been thin but never like this, a family source tells The National Enquirer, as cited by Radar Online: for the past months, Tori hasn’t been taking care of herself at all, in the sense that she’s barely eating.
Paparazzi photos show the drastic results of this “crazy” diet: Tori is incredibly thin and frail-looking, and friends are worried that the worst is yet to come.
“It’s completely insane behavior. She’s barely eating anything. There’s not an ounce of fat on her, and it looks like her body’s going into starvation mode from lack of nutrients. Everyone’s convinced she’s punishing herself in some way because her self-esteem has taken such a beating,” says the spy.
“Her kids eat more than she does. It’s like she has a phobia about food. I think she’s lucky if she gets 500 calories a day into her. She’ll have a juice and a decaf coffee for breakfast, and a piece of fruit for lunch. Dinner is a child-sized meal that’s 25 percent protein and 75 percent vegetables,” adds the same insider.
Because she’s not eating enough – the recommended calorie intake for a woman is between 1,800 and 2,000 – Tori is trying to fill herself with water, which is making her have “that belly bloat that you see on starving African kids,” the same insider says.
Her friends are terrified that, if she doesn’t stop this right now, if she doesn’t start eating healthy again, Tori might end up in a very bad condition. The worst part is that she has 4 children she should be thinking of: her children with Dean, so she should have 4 times more reasons to take care of herself.
This coming from the Enquirer, it should be taken with a grain of salt. However, Tori does have a history of starving herself, having first admitted to it in October 2012, after previously saying in an interview that she lost the pregnancy weight by swimming and working out whenever she had the time.
She called it the “Just Keep Your [expletive]-ing Mouth Shut and Eat Air diet” and said it was “all the rage,” adding that she couldn’t work out to shed the pregnancy weight because of complications at birth. So, because she couldn’t go on the record saying that she’d starved herself, she just lied.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that she’s doing it again, but it sure sounds like her friends are worried she might be.
