Honestly, I've heard Intermittent Fasting is literally THE BEST approach to losing weight. I know for a fact that IF works. But yeah, the one main factor to any weight loss diet is the calorie deficit. So yes, if you try IF, you still need a calorie deficit.
I don't know much about how IF works as far as increased metabolism, but I do know that once the body is adjusted to IF, the body will get used to "eating windows". The benefits of this are that the body will be able to go for long periods without eating and suffer no hunger pangs. This prevents any over-eating.
But here is a photo of my friend. His brother is a certified Fitness Trainer and gave him the whole IF plan. Not sure how long he was on IF, though.

I recently hit a plateau(strange because I am about 293lbs and I don't expect to get a plateau) so anyway the other day I was so busy going to different places and running errands that I literally only had time to eat somewhere in the late afternoon. The previous day was a bit similar in the sense that I worked out at the gym before eating and once again became very busy afterwards and only had time to eat after a certain hour. Well my weight did go down but it could be that I had a high caloric deficit but still I suppose it was sort of like "intermittent fasting". I didn't really think anything of it but perhaps I will give this a try for a while.

I've recently discovered their videos. Honestly, they're pretty informative, once you get past their fighting and stuff. I may try to incorporate this into my cut down the home stretch, on cardio only days though probably. Just to throw a curve ball at my body.

I love IF. It's a bitch and a half to get used to, and that is coming from someone who isn't big on early breakfasts. Once you're used to it though it is amazing. I normally don't feel hungry until it is time to eat. Once the feeding starts it is so gloriously satisfying. Wouldn't diet any other way again.

I have been checking this out for some time now. The only thing I couldnt find was what type of caloric deficet should u eat at during your window? Should you eat maintenance calories, 500 cal lower than maintenance or what? I have been cutting for 4 months now and went from 20% BF down to about 12%. I have slowly reduced my caloric intake each month, where now I am eating 1700 Calories a day. I am 5'11'' at 168 lbs. I feel like it isnt enough calories but I have hit a plataue. So I want to try out IF but should I eat 1700-1800 calories in my eating window or up it.

Not sure how IF works, but i read it's fast for 16 hours, eat in 8 hour window? If that's correct does it matter when this window is? Because i get up and work from 6a.m.-5p.m. and eat lunch at noon then dinner at about 6 and nothing else, would that technically be IF or is there some different secret behind it.

You can eat at a consistent deficit each day, or alternate calories between rest days and training days. http://www.1percentedge.com/ifcalc/
-30% on rest days and -10% on training days, lifting 3 days per week, should amount to a little more than a 20% net deficit.

Guys I am 30 minutes pass my closing time for feeding and I only have about 500 calories in my body(I had a very busy afternoon!). I am thinking if I should go grab some food like 2 cans of tuna etc and then extend my fast my about an hour tomorrow. How's that?

Don't have 6 meals then. I have two, or two and a half.
A couple of chicken breasts at 4pm when my feeding window opens, a big mother of a meal in the evening, and then a protein shake before bed. On a workout day I have a shake immediately after the workout as well.
You don't need to have 6 meals in the 8 hour window. You could have 1 if you really want.
