Fwiw, when I lost over 200 pounds (and then flunked maintenance...), it was with an early dinner (done by 5:30 at the latest usually) and not eating again until 5:30 to 6 am the next day.
It is considered IF if you go as "mild" as a 16/8 plan, where you eat within an 8 hour window, and nothing during the other 16 hours. I have read of folks losing that way.
I belong to a fb group for Dr. Fung's plans as my husband is a newly diagnosed T2 Diabetic and doesn't do FB. I got him the books, found keto recipes to make for him (some eating days he doesn't do keto, but more often he does...not my recommendation, I understand he should pick an approach and stick with it, but he is feeling his way, and I am letting him). He eats tues, thurs and the weekend. I make an approved bone broth for him for his fasting days and he has lost over 80 pounds and brought his a1c back to pre-diabetic.
So...for just weight loss, IF and/or Keto is certainly an intriguing option for many, just know that a window like 16/8 can still be considered IF, if you find you do not want to try a full day (days) of fasting. Many, many folks in this forum know a LOT more about it than I. I am still learning, as is my husband.
Best wishes to you as you find what works best for you.
