I have also written a blog on this - it appears that intermittent fasting is one method of calorie restriction, but no more effective than any other unless you focus only on rodent studieshttps://medium.com/@gidmk/intermittent-fasting-can-help-with-weight-loss-in-mice-3b827c373e30 …

This is one excellent example of why an argument made largely using rodent studies is flawed from conception Unless your research is in people, what you're saying is mostly conjecture

The same is true for arguments made using lab-bench data. They are useful in some cases, but certainly not for determining which is the most effective form of diet!

All this being said, the systematic reviews do indicate that intermittent fasting is ~as effective as continuous calorie restriction~, which means that IF IT WORKS FOR YOU then it's a good option

The problem is people advocating it as a catch-all solution, when really it's a very difficult way to lose weight
