actually intermittent fasting has no inherent benefits to weight loss. everything regarding weight loss has to do with your daily caloric deficit. Intermittent fasting is just a tool to better stick to your diet.
Caloric intake(by the foods you eat and drink) < Calories burnt (by doing exercise, walking, sports. even by just sitting there doing nothing except breathing your body burns calories) = you lose weight.
Caloric intake > Calories burnt = you gain weight
The collective body of intermittent caloric restriction research demonstrates no significant advantage over daily caloric restriction for improving body composition.
While intermittent fasting appears to produce similar effects to continuous energy restriction to reduce body weight, fat mass, fat-free mass and improve glucose homeostasis, and may reduce appetite, it does not appear to attenuate other adaptive responses to energy restriction or improve weight loss efficiency, albeit most of the reviewed publications were not powered to assess these outcomes. Intermittent fasting thus represents a valid--albeit apparently not superior--option to continuous energy restriction for weight loss.
