Abstract

The aim of this study is to understand how the macronutrient composition of the fast initiating meal influences glucose glucose regulating hormones during and 24 hours after a 24 hour fast in older, sedentary, and abdominally obese adults. Understanding these outcomes will inform fasting protocols such as time restricted eating and alternate day fasting, which offer potential long term health benefits.
