But no one has made that argument.
People have argued that eating a calorie deficit with carbs in your diet can achieve weight loss, and that's true.
So can a keto and/or IF diet. These things aren't mutually exclusive.
You can also do IF with a carb rich diet for example.

Again, there are researchers out there who are working with patients that are on fasting plans or keto plans, and the results they are getting is amazing.
Dr Rhonda Patrick
Dr Jason Fung
Look them up and tell me that you'll take a dumb Stanford study over what they have researched.

Not sure why this was in response to my question. I didn't talk about any Stanford study.
I've listened to Dr Rhonda Patrick many times and love her work; will check out Fung.

We are just scraping the surface in finding out what the benefits of fasting are for humans. Again, find me one person who has stuck with an intermittent fasting program for at least a month, and has followed it CORRECTLY, where every single health marker you could analyze hasn't been overwhelmingly positive.

Agree completely, and there's potentially many other effects from IF aside from weight lose that could be even more significant.
You replied to me on some massive tangent. I was simply asking who said "it doesn't matter what you eat" as long as you have a calorie deficit?
That's very different from saying a diet with a carbs can achieve weight loss.
I haven't read anyone in here saying eat a bunch of junk food and sugar, just stay in a calorie deficit and you're good to go.
