Not long after, Zayn went on a solo career and released his first single. There was no bad blood between him and the rest of the members of the group. "One Direction" then released another album, now without Zayn anymore; which was entitled "Made in the A.M." After the album was released, the group announced an indefinite hiatus to pursue personal interests as well. Thus, recently, Zayn opened up about what he had gone through before quitting the band.
According to the British singer, he would go days without eating anything at all. He noticed, looking back, how much he had lost weight during that time. According to him, it was not that he had concerns about his weight, everything just piled up back then that he could not control it: the stress, the pressure, the crazy schedule and more. Thus, he believes that his food intake was the only thing he could control at the time, and so he did.
