It's interesting to see how different news organizations write the title of this research. I think this one is the most fair. I've also seen "IF no better than counting calories" which is technically true but also paints IF in a negative light, since the research seems to show either way can be effective.

I did find that IF worked really well for me when I tried it back in 2018, but when I went off it I gained weight back very quickly. I'm currently just doing CR and counting my macros with the macrofactor app and it's also working well. The good thing about previously doing IF is that I'm no longer super freaked out/it's not the end of the world if I have to skip a meal for some reason.
