Manage your gout better by learning the right foods to eat and the ones you should avoid at all costs.

1. GOUT DIET
10 STEPS TO AN
OPTIMIZED GOUT DIET

2. #1
Limit meat, poultry, fish and nuts to 10% of your
daily protein calories. Remember to strictly avoid
seafood, you can read more about it here. Make sure
it is clean meat with the fat taken off, basically lean
and preferably cooked over fire or on the BBQ where
any fat is burnt off.

3. Eat red meat not more than twice a
week if you suffer from gout. Beef,
lamb, goat, rabbit and deer are good
meats to eat and meat has generally
70% to 75% of its’ calories as fat.

4. Fat and blood from meat are concentrates that
the body cannot tolerate in great quantities. In
digesting them, we produce so many waste
products that even our kidneys which have
excess capacity cannot handle them properly and
that results in diseases like gout.

5. Pork should be avoided
at all costs since the
animal is a scavenger
and its’ role in nature is
to eat garbage, so avoid
bacon, ham, sausages,
pork chops which can
wreak havoc to your
health.

6. Limit your intake of red meat, fish is
your best source of protein, it’s low
on fat and it has plenty of Omega 3
oils which helps drive up our HDL
(good cholesterol) and drives down
LDL (bad cholesterol).
Try and eat fish 2-3 times a week and
yes I know there is some purines in
there but it’s only moderate and
more importantly you need fish in
your diet. Only if you have severe
gout and extremely high uric acid,
you should then cut it out of your
diet.

7. You can eat chicken, preferably chicken breast
which has 15% of its’ calories as fat.
Do not touch organ meat whatsoever, purines
are the highest and should be avoided
besides they are very unhealthy for you.

8. #2
Limit your cheese, milk,
butter, eggs, yogurt,
basically your fat intake to
10% of your daily fat
calories. Saturated fat
lowers the body’s ability to
eliminate uric acid and
prevents obesity which is
linked to gout.

9. #3
Limit sugar to 25 mg a day and avoid foods
sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup.

10. #4
Drink plenty of water.

11. #5
Limit your alcohol intake

12. #6
Also limit animal-based foods such as gravy,
bouillon and chicken soup, even Jello.

13. #7
Choose 80% of your daily calories as complex carbohydrates in
fruits, vegetables, whole grains, whole wheat pasta, rice and
avoid simple or refined carbohydrates like white bread, cakes
and candy. Essentially, a low purine diet is very important for the
gout sufferer, the highest purine foods are obviously the meats.

14. Carbohydrates are pure energy! Carbohydrates are also
good for your stool and speeds up the flow through your
bowel by cutting the time it transits the bowel from
about 90 hours to about 33 hours. Your kidneys take less
of a beating when processing carbs compared to meats.

15. #8
Avoid eating fried and processed food not only will it
increase your uric acid levels but it will also increase
the free radicals which causes other diseases too.

16. #9
Remember to eat
everything fresh
and organic,
preferably locally
grown in your
community.

17. #10
Substitute olive oil for other oils in your cooking, baking and
salad dressings; add it over pasta or a baked potato because it
is the only exception to fats and it lowers your uric acid. If
heated, it loses its healthy benefits and produces free radicals
that cause us to develop diseases like cancer.
This oil lowers blood pressure and blood cholesterol, it raises
the HDL or good cholesterol, does the opposite of other oils
and reduces our blood sugar, so naturally it is good for
diabetics and it prevents heart disease and even gout. Make
sure it is cold pressed extra virgin olive oil.

18. It is recommended to follow the “The 80-10-10
Diet” which consists of 80% of your daily calories
to be clean carbohydrates, 10% consisting of fat
and the remaining 10% of your calories should be
protein.
FINAL THOUGHTS

19. It takes more water to separate the waste
products from the protein (meats) but your
principal food should be carbs like veggies,
fruits, grains, whole grain breads, beans, corn,
whole wheat pasta and rice.

20. Anything you can grow in your
garden is good for you and you can
eat all that you want from it.
