I think it would be really hard to get most kids to stick to any extreme diet. To meaningfully ofset those kinds of metabolic problems one would probably need an extreme diet.
It is unfortunate that these problems occur in medications that appear to work so well. I think that lithium could be re-investigated for its effects on extreme behaviors. It has metabolic risks too, but I don't think they are quite as extreme.
