Lifestyle intervention is the cornerstone of the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Several health authorities and scientific organizations have provided dietary guidance for ASCVD prevention, including recommendations for healthful dietary patterns. Recently, intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating (TRE) have become popular dietary approaches. Findings from clinical studies suggest that intermittent fasting and TRE may result in improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors, especially in patients with metabolic dysfunction. This Journal of Clinical Lipidology Roundtable presents a conversation between Drs. Carol F. Kirkpatrick, Kevin C. Maki, Kristina S. Petersen, and Michael J. Wilkinson about dietary recommendations, intermittent fasting, and TRE. The discussion highlights the current dietary recommendations for ASCVD prevention and the potential roles of intermittent fasting and TRE for improving cardiometabolic health.
