Summary

This study tests whether a ketone supplement drink can reduce urges to binge eat or restrict food, and improve mood and anxiety in people with anorexia or bulimia. About 40 participants will take the drink or a placebo for two weeks while researchers measure changes in eating behaviors, body image, and brain activity. The goal is to see if providing an alternative energy source can ease eating disorder symptoms.
