You want to be very careful how you eat and what you eat. Fad diets are not for you so stop it. Diabetes is a progressive disease that is coming and you can't stop it but you can slow it down so that you have no problems for a very long time. If you have problems with your insulin/glucose levels, you are prediabetic & you will have a tendency to gain weight. The only way to lose it and keep it off is to go on a diet that is low on heavy carbs and contains a lot of veggies. You need to eat portions and eat small regular meals without skipping. I have no idea what VLCD is but what you do to your body now, you will pay for later. Make sure you are making good choices. Oh and read Dr. Sear's diet book. He talks about being prediabetic, insulin/glucose levels and what is going on in your body, how to keep your sugar levels even, what foods will spike your sugar. He is all about balance and good health. It is insulin that puts that belly on you. Good luck.<br><b>References : </b><br> Here’s something for you to consider. . .When you have weight in your stomach and waist, it is a warning sign that you may become diabetic.

Asian cultures long ago figured out how we should be eating. Don't go hungry! That puts your body into starvation mode, slows your metabolism, and causes your body to hold on to fat. You should aim to lose 1-3 pounds per week. Don't use diet pills, they are dangerous and don't address the root problem. It was not the lack of pills that got you heavy, their addition is not the fix you need. What you need to do is eat simple and natural foods. If you eat like the Asians, you will look like the Asians (thin); when they eat like us, they look like us (not thin). You don't have to eat Asian food, just follow the principles that these cultures have arrived at after thousands of years of experimentation, observation, and documentation. Eat mostly vegetables, mostly cooked (salads and cold and raw foods slow digestion and metabolism), mostly fresh and local, a little bit of meat, no dairy, simple and natural foods (more rice, less bread and pasta). The simpler the food, the more-efficiently we can digest it, hence the faster our metabolism. Don't worry about calories, fat, carbs, or any other component of food. In Asia, they look at the whole food. Avoid processed foods and anything labeled "diet". Sugar substitutes slow the metabolism and increase appetite. "The Asian Diet: simple secrets for eating right, losing weight and being well" by Bussell explains the diet and the principles. "The Asian Diet: get slim and stay slim the Asian way" by Tran has recipes that adhere to the principles. "The China Study" by Campbell has the science behind the principles. Good luck. You also should get some exercise every day, and don't always do the same exercises but mix it up. You don't need to go to the gym, you can do push-ups, sit-ups, deep-knee bends, jumping jacks, and other calisthenics at home with no equipment. One minute is better than none, start small and work your way up. Follow the principles of balance and moderation and you'll be fine.
