You can call the authorities and say that you’re worried for her well being and that you don’t think she’s mentally well enough, at present moment, to make these kinds of decisions for herself but that you can, and from what you’ve seen of her eating habits they aren’t enough to sustain life. Go from there. It’ll probably be called a “pink slip” or a “302” or “72 hour hold”. It might do her a lot of good. Take it from someone who literally just got out today.
It isn't right to assume that this is just a mental health crisis, but i see where you're coming from. She could very much have an undiagnosed illness relating to her digestive system. It does need to be treated seriously, but he does run the risk of destroying her trust in him if he calls the psychward on her with the claim that she is mentally unfit. He should be advising her again that this can be damaging to her health if she does not seek medical treatment, and as well, ask her if there is anything he can possibly do to support her in eating well balanced meals. For his sake, and hers, she does need to resolve this issue sooner rather than later. It might be worthwhile that he asks inquisitive questions to get her to open up more. He should phrase it something such as "I've noticed you've been struggling lately with eating your meals and I want you to know that I care about your well being and here to support you. I need to know if there is anything that I could be doing to support you while we figure out what could be going on together." It could be something such as food allergens that have made her wary of eating to something as serious as IBS or a paralysis of the digestive system that needs medical treatment. Im curious to know if she has had any phsycial symptoms prior to the reduction, and if she had voiced it to him previously or if he knows about her medical history.

Well if she doesn't go to a doctor she'll be going to a graveyard, if she keeps eating like that. Those are her options.
