Sorry for answering with another question but ....

How can some one who goes on a crash diet to lose 62 pounds get gout by only going on an all-liquid diet consisting of lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and water. Loosing 20 lb in 10 days.

And the person does not eat red meat, but will eat eggs. Not really a vegetarian, but damn close from what I can tell otherwise.

Answer 6

GOUT DIET / LOW PURINE DIET:
Limit High Purine Foods


High levels of uric acid can cause gout. High purine foods in a diet can increase uric acid levels in the body. Therefore, the gout diet usually limits food with high purine.
______________________________________________

TIPS ON GOUT DIET
-Alcohol, especially beer, should be avoided. Limit alcohol consumption to 1 drink 3 times a week.
-Drink 2 to 3 L of fluid daily. Adequate fluid intake helps dilute urinary uric acid.
-Avoid High-Purine foods (see below)
-Consume a moderate amount of protein. Limit meat, fish and poultry to 4 - 6 oz per day. Try other low-purine good protein foods such as low fat dairy products, tofu and eggs.
-Limit fat intake by choosing leaner meats, foods prepared with less oils and lower fat dairy products.

_________________________________________________
Avoid these High-Purine foods:

-Sweetbreads
-Anchovies
-Sardines
-Liver
-Beef kidneys
-Brains
-Meat extracts (e.g Oxo, Bovril)
-Herring
-Mackerel
-Scallops
-Game meats
-Gravy

Use these high-purine foods in moderation:

-Vegetables: asparagus, cauliflower, spinach, mushrooms and green peas
-Lentils, dried peas and beans
-Beef, pork, poultry, fish and seafood
-Oatmeal, wheat bran and wheat germ
_____________________________________________

Aside from avoiding high purine foods, maintaining a healthy body weight is important for gout patients as well. Obesity can result in increased uric acid production by the body. Follow a well-balanced diet to lose excess body weight. Do not follow a high-protein low-carb diet as this can worsen gout conditions.


Research Update: A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Mar 11, 2004 revealed that high intake of low-fat dairy products indeed reduces the risk of gout by 50%. It is unknown why low-fat dairy products offer a protective effect.

Unfortunately, no natural supplements are proven effective to prevent or alleviate onset of acute gout attacks. The most effective treatment for gout attack is medication.
