Summary

This trial will test a new diet designed to help women with anorexia nervosa remain weight-stable. The diet will be given to women who have been recently restored to normal weight, as well as women with no history of eating disorders, to see if it is effective and safe.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adult women aged 18-40 who have recovered from anorexia nervosa to a healthy weight within the last 6 months. They must speak English, be medically stable with normal vital signs and blood tests, and not be on metabolism-affecting medications. Women without eating disorders can also join. Those with active depression, psychosis, bipolar disorder, recent suicide attempts or acute risk, significant medical conditions like diabetes or pregnancy are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study examines the Metabolic Diet's safety and effectiveness in maintaining weight stability in women who've recently gained back weight after being underweight due to anorexia nervosa. Participants will work with dietitians weekly to follow this special diet while their health and psychological changes are monitored.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of the Metabolic Diet aren't listed, participants will be closely watched for any negative reactions such as digestive issues or metabolic changes during their diet implementation.
