  • Where does the fasting research originate from? 

  • What is time-restricted eating (TRE)? 

  • Why is TRE the focus of Dr Evelyn Parr's current research projects? 

  • What is the link between the circadian rhythm and TRE?

  • What are the differences between early TRE and delayed TRE?

  • What interrupts a fast? 

  • Are there differences between an 8, 10 or 12 hour eating window? 

  • What is the current eating window of Australian’s & New Zealander’s? 

  • Negative impacts of TRE 

  • Calorie restriction vs TRE 

  • How much evidence is behind TRE? 

  • What do we know about TRE and exercise/performance?

  • TRE and reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes - Dr Evelyn Parr’s current projects

One-liners you don’t want to miss:

“Every cell in our body has close to a 24-hour rhythm and these rhythms are all coordinated in our brain and the main inputs to our brain are light, food and activity. On an everyday basis when we are eating longer, more inactive at the end of the day - when our body is worse at handling food (we are more insulin resistant, so need more of the hormone insulin to manage the meal that we are consuming at the end of the day). If we are curbing our energy intake earlier we can better give our body a chance to manage that food intake in a pattern that our body is more prepared for.”
