The former One Direction member is suffering from a serious eating disorder. He confirmed that before he left "One Direction"and he realized that he has been losing weight.
He said that such disorder is one of the reasons why he decided to leave the band. Zayn Malik said that "It wasn't as though I had any concerns about my weight or anything like that. I'd just go for days - sometimes two or three days straight without eating anything at all." He added, "It got quite serious, although at the time I didn't recognize it for what it was"
In 2016, he released his debut album Mind of Mine. He left his band in 2015. "When I look back at images of myself from around November 2014, before or the final tour, I can see how ill I was," Malik said according to a report in CNN.
The Multiplatinum Band is now on a period to stop where members are pursuing their individual interests. He also revealed that during his finals months with One Direction his eating disorder worsened. What added to Malik's illness are the pressures and strains that go on with the band.
He is out of control in his life when he is still with the boy band. But this time being in solo, his eating disorder is under control. His struggle is real when it comes to food before. He gains fame but he loses weight. It started when he became busy touring and working that causes him to forget about food.
After he left One Direction he feels better. He is regaining his weight and not controlling his food. He is also trying to resolve his anxiety issues. Staying with the band prevented him to enjoy the life of a 17-18 years old guy. Their busy schedule lost his track of being a simple guy who enjoys parties and drinking anywhere. Currently, Zayn is in good condition according to BBC.
