What the study is about

This is an interventional study that will test the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the Metabolic Diet, which was designed as a treatment for women with anorexia nervosa to remain weight-stable after they have been restored from low weight. Participants will be adult women with anorexia nervosa who have been recently restored to normal weight and adult women with no history of eating disorders. After enrollment, participants will start meeting weekly with a registered dietitian to implement the Metabolic Diet in their daily lives, and will receive medical monitoring for adherence, side effects, changes in metabolic or psychological parameters, and weight stability.

Being studied: Metabolic Diet

Conditions: Anorexia Nervosa
