Diet?
Okay, cheap shot...
As I recall, the chick was singing about him leaving her or cheating on her, and that was the thing he wouldn't do...it's at the very end of the song
EDIT: I had to look it up:
[Girl:]
After a while you'll forget everything
It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's fling
And you'll see that it's time to move on
[Boy:]
I won't do that
I won't do that
[Girl:]
I know the territory, I've been around
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down
Sooner or later you'll be screwing around
[Boy:]
I won't do that
No, I won't do that

But I'll never forget the way you feel right now
- Oh no - no way - I would do anything for love,
But I wont do that, I wont do that, anything for love,
I would do anything for love, I would do anything for love,
But I wont do that, I wont do that.
so if you read the first line of this verse, and then the last line, you will understand the context. What he wont do is forget the way you feel right now, and again in another verse,
But I'll never forgive myself if we dont go all the way - Tonight
No he wont do that. Hope this clears up all this myth about this song.

Watch the VH1: Storytellers special with Meatloaf. He explains that "that" is everything in the line before it.
Example. But I'll never stop dreaming bout you every night of my life, no way. And I would do anything for love, but I wont do that. "That" in this case is stop dreaming about her and so on and so on
"Sooner or later youll be screwin around.
I wont do that
*wont screw around on her*

In the line, "I will do anything for love, but I won't do that," the "that" is whatever he said just before that. For example... "But I'll never forget the way you feel right now-- Oh no--no way-- I would do anything for love, But I won't do that" - The "that" in this particular verse is "forget the way you feel right now." Meat Loaf said this himself on his StoryTellers episode on VH1.
"I would do anything for love but i won't do that" after the girl sings "Sooner or later you'll be screwing around" ... He only says: "I won't do that"... so he isn't stating that cheating is doing anything for love..
there are many different terms for it, take a look,

[Boy:] I won't do that! No I won't do that!
[Girl:] I know the territory, I've been around
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down
And sooner or later, you'll be screwing around
[Boy:] I won't do that! No I won't do that!

Cheat on the girl; in the lyrics she says "sooner or later you'll be screwing around", to which he replies "I would do anything for love but I won't do that".

Well, when the girl says "I know the _____ (still haven't figured out what she's saying there) honey, I've been around, It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down. Sooner or later you'll be screwin' around"..THAT'S when he says "I won't do that"...so, *I* think it means that he won't cheat on her or ever be unfaithful to her.

Meatloaf won't eat meatloaf, because that would be gross.
