Hell, maybe the experience on American Hustle soured him on it (lord knows working with David O Russell is exhausting as gently caress) Every time Bale did that sort of thing, he knew he was taking a chunk of years off his life. It's why he stopped doing it - after The Fighter (and nabbing that Oscar), he stopped doing the "skin and bones" starvation roles and has wavered between just being average, being built, or being stocky to fat, which are more or less small changes to his diet and exercise routines instead of the wholesale lifestyle changes that were killing him. And it seems like now that he's over 40 Bale probably doesn't want to start throwing weight gain on his heart again in a short period of time. Hell, that same sort of thing nearly killed DeNiro at 36/37 when he did it for Raging Bull. Like he legit had breathing troubles that alarmed Scorsese so much that he basically doubled the setups he wanted to get per day so that he wouldn't kill his friend (itself a bit of irony since Raging Bull was the project that DeNiro used to pull Scorsese out of his cocaine addiction, which had nearly killed him - he was in the hospital due to an overdose and believed his career and life was over when he finally agreed to DeNiro's demand that they make this movie). Bale has every reason to go "maybe I should stop doing the seesaw thing with my body and maybe live to see grandkids one day".
