Study found that a ketogenic diet (KD) significantly increased serum beta-hydroxybutyrate levels, suggesting nutritional ketosis, and showed a trend towards reducing self-reported alcohol craving and a neurobiological craving signature (NCS) for alcohol in patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD), indicating its potential to modulate alcohol craving.
