Muscle loss, mostly. A restrictive diet means the body begins to consume some of your muscle tone for energy. Plus, the longer you go on a low calorie diet, the less weight you lose per day. You loose the most weight in the first two days of a very restrictive diet, such as during fasting.
Other than that, unless you are a diabetic, sick, or elderly, your risks are limited. I highly believe in fasting or restrictive diets occasionally if you are in good health. It cleanses the system and reduces the risk of colon cancer, as well as resulting in weight loss.

It slows your metabolism dramatically, essentially putting your body in starvation mode. If you aim for 5 small meals/day of more or less equal calorific value and made up of lean protein, complex carb and fruit/veg you will be keeping your metabolism on an even keel and burning fat at the same time. The old saying that you have to burn more calories than you eat in order to lose weight is only partially true.
