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

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

I can definitely imagine IF being used that way. I didn't mean to defend it as best! I'm just arguing with the principle that a dietary strategy that results in caloric deficit means any fat lost was because of caloric deficit.

Sure, but I think it's fair to say that the most likely explanation of weight loss in a dietary pattern that causes you to eat less is the eating less rather than some speculative and unproven mechanism
