What risk can occur from excessive restriction in a low-energy diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Nutrient deficiency and difficulty in adherence
An excessively restrictive low-energy diet may provide too little protein, vitamins, minerals, fibre, or essential fat.

Safe energy control should be gradual, nutritionally adequate, culturally acceptable, and monitored by a qualified professional when medically necessary.
