That's not really the claim of 16:8, though. The theory is that it makes it easier to maintain a lower calorie diet, as it changes how many feel hunger. I think most people doing intermittent fasting knows it's still calories in vs burned that's the key. Still, I guess it's nice to confirm?

The tricky thing is that in the internet lot of different people might be claiming and understanding different things for that is “16:8”.

This research is good as evidence that 16:8 is not sufficient for weight loss if you are eating ”ad libitum” during the 8 hours. It might be considered ”common sense”, or ”obvious”, or ”not what proponents of 16:8 claim”. But it is an important clarification nonetheless.
