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

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

Fair, though I think it's suggestive. Regardless, I think you're confusing CR with caloric deficit. No one I know claims that you didn't expend more calories than you took in if you lost weight. That's a different way of stating the result, not the cause.

Nah, the whole argument for IF as the "best" dietary pattern relies on the idea that it causes weight reduction independent of a calorie deficit. I don't think that's been demonstrated at all, a far simpler explanation is that it's just another way of cutting calories
