If so, a Bangor University research team conducting research into diabetes want to hear from you.
The team have been reviewing the risk of developing diabetes, focusing on the impact of a low-carbohydrate diet combined with high intensity aerobi
c interval training for overweight people.
Researcher Francesco Sartor said: "We have just finished the first data collection and the results have been great, with subjects experiencing weight loss, a decreased risk of diabetes and gain fitness.
"Unfortunately though we have not had a sufficient number of volunteers for the study, and are still looking for anyone who meets our criteria who would like to be involved."
The team will provide participants with a free diabetes test, free training and diet, and free fitness and body composition assessments.
Francesco added: "Our volunteers so far have had their fitness levels massively increased, so the study, which only lasts around two or three weeks, certainly improves fitness and promotes weight loss."
To be eligible to take part, you must be keen to improve your fitness, physically inactive and overweight (BMI 27-32).
Male volunteers need to be between 18-45 with a circumference greater or equal to 100 cm or 39 inches, and females between 18-55 and with a circumference greater or equal to 85 cm or 33 inches.
