I am fed up with gout. It is taking away too much from my life. I feel miserable when I've got it and I am going to use this misery to make sure I never get it again.
To that end, I am starting today on a quest to lose 18 pounds. That will put me at an even 200 and I think I can maintain that weight. Gout effects people who are overweight and eat rich foods. So getting the weight off will be helpful to keeping gout away, and probably will benefit me in numerous other ways.
I have given up beer but look forward to enjoying an one occasionally once I make my goal. During the quest, I am off alcohol altogether.
The diet I'm going to follow is by a guy named Vinnie Tortorich. He appears on Adam Carolla's podcast all the time and a couple of people on the podcast have followed it and are very happy with the results. I know I'll be avoiding carbs and eating lots of protein. Beyond that, I don't know much more.
I'll be filling in the details as I learn them.
