Those on the restricted eating plan initially lost weight, but gained it back when more calories were restored to their diets -- a pattern that many humans dieters will find all too familiar. If you say at some point, "I'm finished with the diet, I can gorge now", obviously you will gain your weight back plus some more. Or if you are skipping meals, and then "rewarding" yourself with a bigger meal at the end of the day, which brings your calorie balance in the positive, same result. If you are following the intermittent fasting protocol though, not just randomly going from skipping meals to binging, then you get good results.
