To my knowledge, her eating disorder would be most closely characterized as anorexia. She heavily limits what she eats and puts herself through strict diets and fitness regiments daily. As the Reddit link said, her situation got so bad that she would collapse into tears when she would see food she couldn't eat.
KJo talks a little bit about her here. How she can't handle even a little weight gain and it makes her breakdown. How he admits he's at fault because when Alia entered the industry, KJo made her very weight-conscious which she wasn't before him.

Here Alia talks a little bit about her relationship with food. How she had to receive therapy to deal with her body image issues.

And here are more anecdotes about how extreme her situation was.
In the Rajeev Masand roundtable (2014), Alia said that she is insecure of her weight and was much happier when she was chubby.
Here’s another example of how screwed up her mental health is about food - in one of her cooking videos she says she sometimes wakes up at night and eats something naughty from her fridge, the the next day she makes the house help throw away every single thing from the house that’s not healthy. The guilt and anxiety from simply eating something is likely way more detrimental to her health than whatever it was she ate to begin with!
Her dietician said he texts her its time for a cheat meal and alia simply sends a N. O
Something similar happened during an interview for Kalank.She, Varun, Sonakshi & Aditya were doing a food interview where all of them were served thali.Varun & Sonakshi ate it with gusto.Adi didn't eat because he was sick.Alia just sat there looking at the food because she was on a keto diet & was downright disrespectful & disgusted by the food given to her.
Alia does this a lot. I remember watching nutritionist Rujuta Diwekars video discussion food with Alia Bhat and Alia mentioned a song in Badri/Humpty (not sure which one) where she had to expose her midriff. She was paranoid and had to make sure it looked super flat. So even when she ate just a single banana she said she took like a half an hour to take small bites and chew as slowly as possible so her tummy won’t bulge. She looked pretty proud that she came up with such and idea.
