Either intermittent fasting is magic or the fact that people ate 9% fewer calories when fasting made them lose weight
I WONDER

Mmmm, but this study literally found caloric restriction along with weight loss for IF

Right, but what I'm trying to say is if it were shown that IF causes weight loss even without CR, then how is it obvious that CR caused weight loss when both are at play? Of course weight loss always involves a caloric deficit. I don't think it's typically the "cause", though.

But I don't think that has been shown, certainly not outside of a few rodent studies that arguably have failed to replicate. In humans, AFAIK there's no good evidence that IF causes weightloss sans caloric restriction
