The present study will evaluate the effects on glucose, ketones and other blood biomarkers, cognition, quality of life, physical activity and well-being of a reduced carbohydrate diet paired with a ketogenic product for 2 months in a population living in a senior residence. This study follows the KetoHome (fall 2022) and SAGE (fall 2023) projects which assessed the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of a reduced carbohydrate intervention alone.
