I wonder how much of the results from this intervention are driven purely by the act of fasting for 16 hours out of every 24, vs the associated acts of consuming fewer calories and altering diets?
The abstracts posted below ( https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36192924/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36192924/ and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36515429/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36515429/ ) indicate that the participants also had their diets altered (to "a MFH plants and wholegrains diet") and lost weight implying that their caloric intake fell. Is the real effect here that they ate healthier and lost weight, or did the fasting specifically have an effect on top of that?
A nice podcast episode on the topic is https://peterattiamd.com/jasonfung/ https://peterattiamd.com/jasonfung/

A lot of these types of eating strategies simply create a caloric deficit easily. For instance for me, keto creates satiety feeling with less calories then other diets I have tried. IF and OMAD eating strategies kind of does the same thing in my experience. The fast breaking meal eliminates the hunger and satiety usually sets in pretty quickly with less calories.
