Can people who have a tendency toward gout be on a Cambridge Weight loss program?
Gout is caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood. Because of the balance of protein and carbohydrate, Cambridge programs should not cause an increase in the uric acid content of the body. If you are on medication for gout, you should work closely with your physician so that medication can be changed when necessary. Individuals who lose significant amounts of weight usually show reduced levels of uric acid.
