Hello there,
I am a pre-med student here in Canada, but I am posting this question for a friend, I need some assistance with her. She is 17 years old, 140-150 pounds, around 5¨10.. Her mother (overweight) is forcing her on strict diets because apparently she is ¨Fat¨ and ¨Embarrassing her [the mother]¨.
The proposed diet is a full liquid diet for one whole week, and only vegetables and fruit after that.
I am more then fully aware how dangerous this is, not only for her self esteem but her body. She is a perfectly healthy and proportioned girl.
I was hoping the medical community could assist me make a plea of some sort of justice to this absolutely crazed mother, my friend really does not deserve this in her youth and health. I need to make sure this mother knows how dangerous this is for her, ESPECIALLY seeing as she has a heart condition.
Thank You in advance.
