Lost Three Pounds

Oct. 21, 2014

In two weeks I've lost three pounds on my diet alone, now my weight is 284 pounds. Still can't work out due to recovering from gout in my foot.

Having gout changed my diet for the better. Cut out a lot of things like over eating, way down on sugar, and meat. Eating salad every other day, eating 6 oz. of meat a day, and drinking a ton of water.

I've been reading up on natural foods to stop the gout attacks. Added oranges, tomatoes and cherry juice to my diet to calm the gout attacks.

that's it for now and will keep you guys posted. Take care and God Bless.

down with painful gout

oct 5. 2014

it's been a very long time since i've posted about my journey but had a lot of changes since then. in july laid off from my job and in august stated a new career as a saleman of health insurance policies. at the end of june came out of physical therapy.

for the last four days dealing with painful gout and changing my diet to keep this from happening again. gout is more serious than i realize. searching the internet, it says it can be disabling and can attack several joints all over your body. mine is in my feet, so walking is a challenge.

before  this gout attack i had been lifting weights frequently recently. tried to do a short thirty minute workout today but the pain was too much and had to give up after five minutes. now staying off my feet as much as possible and cut a lot of red meat out of my diet.

today bought a ton of different kinds of vegetables and drinking plenty of water. still researching and building a good diet for gout. if anyone has any good suggestions let me know. also got on the scale yesterday and lost one pound and back down to 287 pounds. with the radically changes in my diet i should be able to lose better.  until next time take care and God Bless.
