One has to take the perspective of the author into account here. He's a psychology MD and seems to have a lot of experience with people with major eating disorders such as bulimia.

I find it quite convincing that for this type of patient, regular eating patterns can help to restore a healthy approach to food as they are starting with extremely unhealthy eating habits to begin with.

The conclusion, as formulated in the title, does seem to generalize these findings a bit too much. At least it lacks evidence on how generally healthy (maybe somewhat overweight) people who attempt IF as a dieting measure tend to develop unhealthy longterm eating habits.
