I don’t know that anyone thinks IF has any significant intrinsic benefit other than its ability to facilitate weight loss. What would the point of IF be if not to facilitate weight loss?

I personally saw my A1C go down while I was intermittently fasting. Don’t know if there are studies on that and I don’t know how to distinguish that from generally keeping my weight down.

That’s great!

I also had some very positive effects from IF. I’m just not sure I would have expected IF, on its own, to have affected my blood pressure, or any other statistic, without considering IF in combination with actual dietary choices.

Moderation of hormone levels.

Without moderating dietary choices as well, that probably wouldn’t work too well.
