This study is looking at how a Therapeutic Ketogenic Diet (TKD) affects the brain in people who have recovered from anorexia nervosa (AN). The study will involve a 2-week period to start the ketogenic diet, followed by 12 weeks on the diet. Researchers want to see if the diet changes how the brain uses sugar, which they will measure using special brain scans called [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake scans. You might be able to join if you are 18-45 years old, male or female, and have recovered your weight after having restricting-type anorexia nervosa. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

Study design

What's involved

Participants will have brain scans before and after the 14-week Therapeutic Ketogenic Diet. They will also complete questionnaires about eating behaviors.
