Risks from Calorie Restriction Diets

Evaluating Risk Factors: Calorie Restriction Diets

Evaluating your likely current (and near future) state of health means taking into account the risk factors — such as calorie-controlled diets — that affect you. Our medical diagnosis tool, The Analyst™, identifies major risk factors by asking the right questions.

If you indicate recent dieting, The Analyst™ will ask further questions including this one:

When you diet, approximately how much do you restrict your food/calorie intake? If you are restricting meals, not calories, then you can estimate: one small, light meal is roughly 200-400 calories and one large, heavy meal is roughly 1000-1500 calories.

Possible responses:

→ No restriction / it varies / don't know
→ Minor restriction: 1500-2200 calories per day
→ Moderate restriction: 1000-1500 calories per day
→ Severe restriction: 600-1000 calories per day
→ Extreme restriction: Under 600 calories per day

The Diagnostic Process

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate minor calorie restriction, moderate calorie restriction, severe calorie restriction or extreme calorie restriction, The Analyst™ will use differential diagnosis to consider possibilities such as:

Cancer, General

Extreme calorie restriction can increase one's risk of developing serious health problems such as cancer.

Diabetes Type II

Extreme calorie restriction can increase one's risk of developing serious health problems such as diabetes.
