she isn’t putting weight on.”

Lisa De Fazio, a registered

dietitian and nutritionist,

tells NW that a poor diet

lacking in nutrients and

vitamins will lead to

osteoporosis and

other health

issues.

“When calcium

intake is low,

the body takes it

from the bones,

making them brittle

and more likely to

fracture,” Lisa shares.

anything to help herself.”

As NW recently revealed,

her kids have taken it upon

themselves to stage an

intervention after growing

increasingly worried about

her weight. But so far their

concerns seem to have

fallen on deaf ears. Now,

other people in Ange’s life

are said to be readying

themselves to talk sense

into her before it’s too late.

“It wouldn’t be the

source. “The

problem is

Angie has

hugely distanced

herself from loved

ones who don’t seem

to be able to get close

enough to air their concerns

at the moment. So they’re

having to formulate a plan.”

In the messy wake of her

break-up with Brad Pitt,

along with their ongoing

divorce and custody battle,

Ange is said to be stressed to

the max. Add endless work

demands and parenting of

their six kids, Maddox, 17,

Pax,15,Zahara,14,Shiloh,

13 and 10-year-old twins

Knox and Vivienne, she has

no time for friends or food

apparently.

Her brother James – who

has previously been her rock

• isn’t around to help her
  and Brad, 55, has wiped his
  hands of her eating issues.
  “She used to torture him
  with her hunger strikes
  when she wouldn’t eat for
  days,” says the source.
  “He can’t handle revisiting
  that. Of course Brad hates
  that the kids have to see
  it all and he knows they’ve
  begged her to eat. But this
  isn’t his problem anymore.
  “Ange isn’t about to turn
  to anyone and ask for help
  though,” they add. “Now
  she’s in New Mexico she’s
  completely focused on her
  work but she really needs
  to focus on her health.
  “She did treat herself to
  a sushi dinner recently
  and you have to think she’ll
  eventually pull herself
  together. But that’s what
  loved ones have been saying
  for years and so far it simply
  hasn’thappened.” ■
