It works for them, or at least they believe it works. It does not mean that that's generally applicable. Scientific studies are designed to pick up the people it doesn't work for as well as the people it does.
My basic approach to this is that everything works for someone but nothing works for everybody. If I tried to do everything somebody claims works for them, I'll constantly be going nuts because the stuff is mutually contradictory.
It's not that long ago everybody was convinced the key was constant grazing on small meals throughout the day, now we're all being convinced the key is intermittent fasting, which is literally the opposite approach.
