EAT MOAR TATERS! Huh? page 99

[james2pro]

My gout started in my mid-30s which was also around the time I first did Atkins. I've also tried Protein Power and Dukan. I've been gout free for three months working with a Paleo nutritionist from Rob Sisson's site. She said that potato peels have anti-nutrients and to discard those. I think that I'm definitely an under excretor of uric acid and believe Ian King has a good theory of the need to avoid fructose while keeping the meat in the diet. I'm 280 at 6 foot. I've lost inches but little weight and have been at or above this weight for 10 years, even when doing no carb and 1200 calories a day. No tinges of gout for you with all that starch?

Not even a hint! I normally do low carb primal, took a break this summer and ate higher carb primal, mostly added fruit. Put on a few pounds, which was OK, then lost it with potatoes.

The only time I had a hunt of gout in past few years was when I would eat something, chocolate covered coffee beans, for instance that I later found were packed with HFCS. I routinely eat over a pound of liver in a meal, eat liver at least twice a week, sardines and oysters every day. When I was having gout, my uric acid was just above ref range (like 9, I think). Now it is still high, like 8, but within the ref range.

Sorry, that should have been Robb Wolf.

Lol... yes! I have to agree that 'moar' is a stupid word, but whatever... was awesome that she misspelled a word!!

Anyways... I came here because I am wondering how people are doing post-potato diet? I know you guys have posted that you hadn't gained back weight afterwards... is that still the case? I am in a major food funk after being VLC for months. I am making primal cookies and popcorn and nothing sounds good and I'm thinking about giving the potato diet a try to get me out of it. I'm sure a week of potatoes will have me craving meat and veggies again.

Any backlash post potato diet???

Not for me. I have been a week prinal again and kept off all the weight

interesting in the paleo nutritionist's take on high protein if you have gout.

You should try the 20 pounds-til-gone method that tatertot did in his recent post.

Lambchop, me too started again today, last 10 days have been a bit of a free for all with food and beer, 0.5 kg weight gain after the loss from PD, I can live with that..... anyway last 5kgs to go hopes to knock over 1/2 of that this time round and eat a bit more sensible when I come off the spuds this time round
