Time-restricted eating (TRE) has gained attention as an effective approach for weight management and overall well-being by focusing on limiting the window, rather than reducing calories. This study explores biopsychosocial impacts of TRE in free-living individuals using a qualitative design. Twenty-one adults (aged 27–60 years) from Western Australia who had practised at least three months were purposively recruited, semi-structured interviews conducted. The data analysed thematic analysis to identify key themes. participants reported range benefits, including loss, reduced joint pain, better digestion, improved mental clarity, increased energy, more positive body image. Socially, facilitated simplified daily routines but also introduced challenges, such disruptions social interactions family meal dynamics. Some mixed negative reported, changes sleep exercise patterns. These findings highlight TRE’s potential holistic dietary intervention. Further research, particularly well-controlled, randomised controlled trials longitudinal studies, is needed confirm these insights guide their appropriate application clinical public health settings.
