Fans aren’t the only ones fretting over Demi Moore’s pin-thin frame.
According to a source, it’s hard for her friends not to worry about the 63-year-old actress, too.
“It’s very upsetting to see her fall back into the same old patterns,” says the National Enquirer’s source. “All the same pressures she used to put on herself to be stick thin when she was at the height of her fame have crept back in. She’s back to depriving herself and living on the absolute bare minimum.”
In her 2019 memoir Inside Out, Moore opened up about her history with disordered eating.
“When I was making Striptease, for breakfast I would measure out a half cup of oatmeal and prepare it with water,” the Golden Globe winner wrote, per People. “Then for the rest of the day I would have only protein and some vegetables — and that was it.”

Moore’s diet is still “so limited,” the Enquirer’s source reveals.
“She has this special mix of nuts and seeds that she soaks overnight in water so they are easier to digest, and that’s the main thing she eats,” says the source. “She’s always got a big tumbler of iced coffee with her [too] that she chugs back like water.”
Despite her friends’ fears, the Substance star “insists she feels great,” the source admits, and “that she’s simply eating a really clean diet and it has nothing to do with wanting to lose weight.”
Nobody is buying it, though.
“They can’t help feeling like she’s slipping back into the same tough relationship with food and her body that she fought so hard to overcome,” says the source. “It’s very sad.”
