How it works
Adipose tissue produces purines; excess weight increases insulin resistance which impairs renal urate excretion. Weight loss reverses both mechanisms and reduces attack frequency.
Rapid weight loss (crash dieting, fasting) can paradoxically trigger acute attacks due to ketone competition with urate excretion. Gradual loss is preferred. Avoid very low-carbohydrate diets unless carefully managed.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
