Can a special diet help reduce alcohol intake?
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a nutritional program (a modified ketogenic diet) can help people with alcohol use disorder reduce their drinking. It aims to find out if changing what you eat can support your goals around alcohol.
