[ Fat loss ]
Four things do the work. The rest is noise.
A sustainable deficit, enough protein, strength training and daily steps. If those four are in place you will lose fat, and if they are not, no supplement, eating window or fasted session will rescue it. The unglamorous part is why the noise gets sold so hard.

Stop judging it by the week
Body weight moves daily with water, sodium, food volume and hormones, and those swings are routinely larger than a week of actual fat loss. Judging a fortnight by one weigh-in is the fastest route to abandoning something that was working.
