Why can an extremely restrictive diet fail long term in obesity prevention?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It may be difficult to follow and may cause nutrient deficiencies
An extremely restrictive diet may exclude important food groups, provide inadequate energy or protein, and lack vitamins and minerals. It is often difficult to sustain socially and psychologically, so old eating patterns may return after stopping it. Weight regain can follow. Effective obesity prevention favours a balanced, enjoyable, portion-aware pattern combined with physical activity, sleep, and lasting behaviour change.
