What Is Time Restricted Eating

Time restricted eating (often written “time-restricted eating” (or TRE) means eating all of your day’s food within a consistent 6–12 hour window and fasting the rest. TRE focuses on when you eat rather than strict calorie counting and aims to align your meals with your body clock. Many people find an earlier window (for example 10:00–18:00) works better than late-night eating.

Does TRE work for weight and metabolic health?

TRE can help some people naturally reduce daily energy intake and improve certain metabolic markers, though average weight loss is modest unless overall calories fall and diet quality stays high. Earlier windows may help with blood glucose control; protein and resistance training help preserve muscle.

Time Restricted Eating Depends On Balanced Nutrition

During peri/post-menopause, weight and fat distribution often shift. TRE can be a useful structure for timing, but your long-term health still depends on balanced nutrition, adequate protein, fibre, calcium and vitamin D, plus regular activity.

Choosing Your Window

Time restricted eating means eating all meals within a consistent window each day. Many women start with 12:12 (e.g., 08:00–20:00), then progress to 14:10 or 16:8 if energy, mood and training still feel good. Earlier daytime windows are generally friendlier than late-night eating.

TDR - FAQ

Is TRE safe during perimenopause/menopause?

For most healthy adults it can be a reasonablemeal-timingstrategy, but it’s not essential. Prioritise balanced nutrition, activity, adequate protein and calcium, and vitamin D. Speak to your GP or a registered dietitian if you have medical conditions or a history of disordered eating

What drinks are allowed while fasting?

During the fasting period,non-calorie drinkssuch as water, black tea/coffee, and diet drinks are typically allowed. Adding milk/sugar breaks astrictfast; whether a splash of milk matters depends on how strict you want to be.

Does TRE help menopause symptoms?

High-quality studies in peri/postmenopausal women are limited. The British Menopause Society stresses overall diet quality, activity, and sustainable calorie balance as the foundations for weight and long-term health. TRE can be used as astructure, but it isn’t a cure for symptoms.

Should I choose a 12:12, 14:10 or 16:8 pattern?

Pick themost sustainablewindow. Many women start with12:12or14:10and only move to16:8if it still feels good (energy, mood, training). Earlier windows tend to be friendlier metabolically

Can I use Eve Biology shakes every day within my window?

Yes. They’re designed asmeal replacementsand can be used once or twice daily within your eating window to help you meet protein, fibre and micronutrient targets while keeping calories moderate. For diversity, include whole foods at your main meal..

What if I’m on HRT or medications?

HRT itself isn’t a reason to avoid TRE, but if you take medicines that must be taken with food or affect blood sugar (e.g., diabetes meds),talk to your GPbefore changing meal timing. (Healthcare sources note diabetes meds may need adjustment on fasting patterns.)

Will I lose muscle with TRE?

Some studies report lean mass losses when protein or resistance training is inadequate. Keep protein high (~1.0–1.2 g/kg/day as a general guide), include resistance exercise, and consider using a shake across the window.
