Ans:
A, C

Feedback:

VLCDs have higher risks, including abnormal heart rhythms and cholelithiasis. Anyone on this diet should be under direct supervision of a medical professional. Usually bone/joint pain/inflammation decreases with weight loss. Kidney sludge is usually related to the amount of water a person consumes.
