| Abstract: | Time-Restricted Eating (TRE), a type of Intermittent Fasting (IF), has gained attention for its potential health benefits. However, limited research has explored how individuals from different cultural backgrounds perceive and anticipate adopting this approach. This study investigates perceived benefits and barriers, ability and adherence facilitators anticipated by Greek adults without prior experience with TRE, using the Health Belief Model (HBM) as a guiding framework. This paper highlights the potential of TRE as a feasible dietary approach for Greek adults. While simple in structure, its adoption is more complex, influenced by sociocultural factors. The results revealed the value of the HBM in exploring health behaviours and emphasise the need for cultural-context approaches to dietary methods. |
