Because IIFYM/macro counting is not as effective and as simplistic as intermittent fasting pertaining to weight/fat loss. Countless of clinical studies support that.

Fasting is NOT the same as starving.

If you want to lose weight or lose fat and "shred" down its just about nailing the right macros for yourself and entering caloric deficit.

Tell that to someone that is severely metabolically broken, nevermind macro counting. A ketogenic diet (very low carb diet) won't even be able to help him lose weight. For those that are severely metabolically challenged, fasting is the only way for them to lose weight/fat.
Calorie In/Out theory DOES NOT work. It's based on old and baseless scientific findings. Most of the contestants from the Biggest Losers that lost significant weight (over 100lb) exercising and severely restricting calories gained most of their weight back plus more. This happened to pretty much all of the winners from the show.
