Does anyone have any real research showing IF having benefits beyond what one achieves through healthy eating and general weight loss in humans? Seems like every paper i see is either in animals or cell cultures, or does not have a proper control group.

Back when I had looked into the literature, the consensus seemed to be that it was not more effectice than CR for weight loss.

If that's still the case, it would depend on what you find easier to maintain over long periods of time. For some people, eating healthy/less and or tracking calories is a lot harder than just eating one big meal a day.
