Fasting for 24 hours: surprising effects on blood sugar and fats revealed

This study looked at how a single day of either complete fasting or eating very few carbs changes the way healthy adults process sugar and fats after their next meal. Sixteen participants tried all three eating patterns in random order. Researchers measured blood sugar, fats, and related markers for two hours after a standard meal. The goal was to better understand how short-term dietary changes affect metabolism.
