> However, I wasn’t convinced I would lose any significant weight by fasting only two days per week, so I’ve planned to follow a more strict diet of intermittent fasting for at least one month.
You risk putting your body in "starvation mode" - your body will suddenly start grabbing as much energy from any food you do give it as it can. Thus, weight loss will not be sustained.
In general "diets" are harmful and don't help with long term weight management.
A new regime of healthy eating combined with exercise (10 minutes of raised heart rate per day; preferably several sessions of 30 minutes raised heart rate per week) will be better and more sustainable.
