Warnings for those on the Metabolism Diet

The Metabolism Diet, like many fad diets, doesn't provide dieters with enough calories to get through the day. Dieters should refrain from working out and/or participating in extreme activities while on this diet. Also, there aren't many vitamins or nutrients included, which can lead to health complications for people who continue the diet for longer periods of time.
