Hiba Jebeile is an NHMRC Emerging Leadership Fellow and Accredited Practicing Dietitian at The University of Sydney. Her PhD research explored the use of intermittent energy restriction as a novel dietary intervention for the treatment of adolescent obesity and the impact of dietary focused obesity treatment on psychological health. She has led high quality reviews on the impact of obesity treatments for adolescents and adults on eating disorders risk and psychosocial health. Her current research explores the intersection between obesity treatments and eating disorder risk, and the use of screening protocols for the early identification of eating disorders during obesity treatment. Hiba is the Co-lead and Program Manager of the EDIT Collaboration, a world-first international collaboration of researchers, clinicians and consumers exploring individual variability in eating disorder risk during behavioural interventions for obesity. As a testament to the quality of her research, Hiba has received several awards including the Dietitians Australia New Researcher Award and the 2024 ANZOS Young Investigator Award.
