Also, this isn't IF as popularly understood. IF usually means uninterrupted water-only fast for a certain part of the day, e.g. 18:00-10:00.
The paper is about "low frequency" IF, which in this case means a 24h water only fast, twice a week for a full month, then only once a week for the rest of the trial.
