Hi,
I have had hypertension which has been well controlled using medication.
I started going to the gym at the beginning of this year after a break of almost a year. I started with heavy lifting and being on a keto diet for a month in February. After a month, i.e from March I stopped the keto diet and started a high protein diet. My macros were 50% Protein, 30% Carbs and 20% Fat.
I weigh 150lbs and I was consuming 180 - 200gm protein. I was starting to see results. Most of the protein was from whey, poultry and eggs.
But in June (5 months since starting gym) - I had a first gout attack ever. I took rest, pain killers and went back to workout after a 2 week break.
Then I had a second gout attack in July. I wasnt expecting this. I have now stopped gym and the diet and confused what I need to do. The doctor has advised me to stop the diet and gave me colchicine for pain relief. I was told if it is my call if I want to start taking allopurinol for life.
My question is -
Has anyone been in similar situation? If yes, what did you do and how are you coping with it?
Having stopped the gym for over a month, I can see the results are being reversed and I am wary of going on a high protein diet as I still feel the tingle in my toe joints.
Is keto or high protein diet the root cause? What kind of exercises I can do?
Thanks in advance
