I know it’s not just me but could others here comment? On meat or not.

I find often I need to exercise, I’m just itching to use my resistance training set until failure (and then, after an hour resist doing it again) or go for a bike ride - it’s a half hour up hill ride from here to most places I go, and I’ll ride hard to the top of that hill and see what speed I can get on the way back, just to burn off what feels like excess energy

    Doing very low carb had given me huge energy boots

    Whhaaat—you got energy boots? All I rolled was high uric acid.

    Serious though, I felt like my gas tank would empty a lot quicker. I always hoped it would give me that kind of boost, but the closest I got was a tangential motivational boost from dropping pesky weight that I had trouble dropping otherwise–the flirt with gout (with what I was eating, anyway) did happen though.

      I had gout while I was on carbs, I couldn’t go off allopurinol until I had given up carbs completely. Now I haven’t had any medications for ages.

      A thing I have heard, but I can’t place where, is that all the super muscle youtube carnivores have high uric acid, so there’s a hypothesis that success in strength training is better with high uric acid.

      Anyway eating only meat animal sourced foods (I also eat eggs) appears to protective against gout, I still have high uric acid, as bad as when I put on allopurinol, but now I don’t get gout.

        “Comorbidities associated with gout include hypertension, diabetes mellitus, renal disease and morbid obesity ” citation

        “A systematic review and meta-analysis from 2008 further support that alcohol and fructose may be greater contributors to hyperuricemia than meat consumption” citation

        “NLRP3 is inhibited by colchicine, a historic treatment for acute gout episodes. The same inhibitory effect has been observed with the ketone bodies β-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate” citation

        Gout goes hand in hand with insulin resistance. Uric acid by itself is not a problem, in fact its necessary for the functioning of a healthy body (peoples bodies produce something like 8x more uric acid a day then you could possibly eat), its the ability of the body to regulate it and prevent it from precipitating into the joints that is the major issue with gout.

          It’s nice to see recent stuff on gout, when I last looked into it there was nothing you could base food decisions on since before the invention of allopurinol

          The old stuff right before all research stopped pointed the finger at sugar

              I haven’t had a problem with alcohol, except one occasion when the alcohol had sugar in it

      How long were you doing lchf? Did you measure your ketones?

      There is data showing that lchf can be protective against gout, I can dig it up if your interested
