Michael Mosley has a new book out called Fast 800. I literally have no idea what's in it but I've liked his stuff on TV. I only knew about it because he'd tweeted about a book Billy Connelly mentioned.
IF is different to one meal day though. I mean, that's a form of IF but normally the protocols for IF are 5:2 or the 8hr feed window per day. What IF protocols were they using?

Couple of interesting further studies from the two lead authors on the effect of intermittent fasting on both obese women and a randomised trial of various obese men. Both showed mild evidence for increased fat loss on an IF diet, but I still haven't found any large trials, or any literature on varying protein intakes combined with dietary restriction.
At the very least, in all those papers, no evidence for any real health risk, at least.
