The effects of initiating a 24-hour fast with a low versus a high carbohydrate shake on glycemic control in older adults: a randomized crossover study
A low carbohydrate pre-fast meal can reduce time-to-ketosis in older, sedentary, overweight adults. Those looking to improve glycemic control through fasting or time-restricted eating interventions may consider the macronutrient composition of their pre-fast meal to improve its efficacy.
