In recent years, there has been considerable public, media and commercial interest in the potential benefits of various forms of intermittent fasting. These include time-restricted eating, ‘5:2’ diet or alternate-day fasting-mimicking regimes.

Are some regimes clearly more effective and beneficial than others? Could there be negative consequences to these approaches to intermittent fasting?
To address these important questions, this webinar brings together diverse experts including dietitians, nutritionists, sports physiologists, psychologists, neuroscientists and physicians to present and discuss recent scientific evidence on intermittent fasting.
