This study is testing a "Metabolic Diet" to see if it can help women with anorexia nervosa stay at a healthy weight after they've recovered from being underweight. The diet involves eating more foods high in fat and fewer foods that cause big changes in blood sugar. Researchers want to see if this diet is safe, if people can stick to it, and if it helps prevent relapse. You might be able to join if you are a woman between 18 and 40, speak English, are medically stable, and have a history of anorexia nervosa but are now at a healthy weight (BMI at or above 18.5 kg/m2). The study will look at how many side effects occur, and how well participants complete food and ketone logs over 10 weeks. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design

This interventional study plans to enroll 20 participants: 10 women who have recovered from anorexia nervosa and 10 healthy women. It is not specified if this is a randomized or blinded study.

What's involved

You would meet weekly with a registered dietitian and study physician for 8 weeks. You would also keep food logs and measure urinary ketones at home, discussing these during your weekly visits. Surveys and lab work are completed at screening, week 4, and week 8.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary endpoints are measured at 10 weeks, suggesting follow-up for at least that duration.
