Hilary Duff is best known for her roles in “Lizzie McGuire,” “Younger” and “How I Met Your Father.”
The actress quickly became famous on the Disney Channel when she was still a teenager, and with the pressure of Hollywood at a young age, many stars face challenges. For the Disney alum — it’s body image and eating disorders, which she’s now opening up about for the first time.
Hilary Duff’s Secret Body Image Issue

When Hilary Duff was just 17 years old, she was constantly in front of the camera surrounded by other “skinny” women, which led the Disney Channel actress to start focusing on her body — and not in a healthy way.
“Because of my career path, I can’t help but say, ‘I’m in front of the camera and I’m a skinny actress,'” the 35-year-old told Women’s Health Australia. “It was horrible.”
Fortunately, as Duff got older, she became more aware of her health and eating habits and decided to restore her fitness. “[I’m] valuing my health, doing activities that make me feel strong instead of improving the outside of my body,” Duff continued to explain. “Spending time with people who make me feel good and share the same views on health and body positivity and getting enough sleep and balance in my diet.”
Duff Coach Dominic Leeder Speaks Out

The mother of three got help from personal trainer Dominic Leeder in getting her health back and eating healthier.
“I don’t think she would mind me saying this: yes, her fitness and health are very important to Hilary,” Leeder told Women’s Health Australia. “What is more important to him is his family and his job. When he comes home from work, he wants to spend time with his family because he spends little time with them when he’s working hard, so every moment counts.”
To help Duff change her habits, they first needed to change her mindset — shift her focus to how the actress exercises. “When I met Hilary, we decided to focus on resistance training, because we wanted to build lean muscle mass and increase her metabolism,” he revealed.
“His diet is also a big factor and I want to make sure he’s eating the right amount of macros for the goals he needs,” she continued.

Earlier this year, the mother of three put herself out there and stripped for Women’s Health Magazine, something she admits is not easy to do. “Soooo, this is scary…,” the “Young” actor began in an Instagram post sharing the news. “I knew doing this would scare me and I was right!”
She went on to thank Women’s Health Magazine who “had the most amazing shoot for all the women” and “really had the best time” doing this project. “I feel strong and beautiful and laugh a lot in some of these poses without the high-waisted, oversized mom jeans I usually wear,” she said.
“Thank you to everyone who normalized today for me and supported me with praise and love,” said Duff.
