Dieting has hazards that are rarely pointed out. Yo-yo dieting is particularly dangerous and ineffective, because it decreases the metabolism, leading to an immediate weight gain once the caloric restrictions are eased. Some dieters resort to over the counter (OTC) and/or prescribed medications to improve their results, but many of these have been proven to be extremely hazardous to the health (and consequently withdrawn from sale) so consumers need to be wary.

Certain religions, including Judaism and Islam, also impose strict restrictions on diet, but these are not usually thought of as "dieting".

VLCD's can be very successful but only when used over a 6-12 week period. Because the body is essentially starving, it is burning up its fat stores and lowering its metabolic rate. As soon as the diet ceases and normal food is consumed again, there is an immediate increase in weight. Short-term use of VLCDs (1-4 weeks) will have little, if any, benefit for the dieter as the increase in weight will negate the weight lost in the first place. Once the full course of the diet is finished, it is up to the successful dieter to maintain their current weight via exercise and sensible eating, otherwise they will put on weight again. VLCD's put a great deal of strain on a person's body, and should only be undertaken with medical consultation.
