For the last few days I have had my foot propped up with ice on it. At first it was because my foot looked like a pumpkin being suckled by five little yellow squash. The swelling went down so that my toes looked more like carrots than squash. And now the swelling is almost gone entirely and the only problem that I have is that my foot feels like it is fully immersed in red hot coals. Yes, I have had a recurrence of Gout. Gout may be known as the king’s disease but the only thing royal about this is that I feel royally pained.

I ordinarily watch my diet pretty carefully, avoiding too many meats. But over the Memorial Day weekend there was lots of grilling and lots of meat; steak, hamburger, chicken, hotdogs… All those things I am supposed to eat in moderation to avoid a very, very painful flare up of gout. So, while I need a diet plan to help me lose weight, I also need one that is very specific to help me avoid those foods which are not good for someone with Gout. So, which diet plan is for me?
