Patch, at present I am not comfortable naming the particular brand of the VLCD, except that it was akin to Herbalife, Optifast, etc. A post mortem has been carried out and there are further legal issues surrounding this incident. Andrea was not suffering from any pre-existing medical condition.
Andrea's mother prepared additional vegetable meals according to manufacturers instructions. VLCDs come with a disclaimer, advising medical supervision.
Please Patch, Kenny, et al,.....I admire you for what you are prepared to put yourself through in order to lose weight, become healthy. But please think about it, arrange some blood tests along the way. Too late for Andrea now.
Good luck, good health.
