High-carbohydrate diet
Participants will engage in 4 days of high-carbohydrate low fat diet as recommended by the Canadian Diabetes Association. The macronutrients content will go as follow: 55% carbohydrate, 25% protein and 20% fat. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided to the participants as part of an isoenergetic diet. Between interventions there will be at least a one-week washout, where participants are encouraged to return to their baseline dietary habits.
Low-carbohydrate diet
Participants will engage in 4 days of low-carbohydrate high-fat diet. The macronutrients content will go as follow: 10% carbohydrate, 25% protein and 65% fat. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided to the participants as part of an isoenergetic diet. Between interventions there will be at least a one-week washout, where participants are encouraged to return to their baseline dietary habits.
Low-carbohydrate diet with post-meal walking
Participants will follow the same diet as in the low-carbohydrate diet arm but also perform 15 minutes of walking beginning \~15 minutes after breakfast, lunch and dinner. Approximately 70 kcal (individualized) will be added to main meals to account for exercise energy expenditure. Between interventions there will be at least a one-week washout, where participants are encouraged to return to their baseline dietary habits.
