I had metabolic syndrome x, pretty much the final stage before type 2 diabetes. I also had an undiagnosed (despite every test the docs could think off). I went on a 1500 calorie a day diet for 7 months and dropped weight from 245lbs to 185lbs (I'm 6 foot) at the next doc appointment indicators where all in normal range and at the most recent they where all excellent for someone my age. Diet for this 7 months was cottage cheese, veg, nuts and rolled oat porridge with either chicken or fish and veg. No fruit, lots of supplements and a protein shake before bed. First month was grim I felt terrible all the time but every month after was easier.
