i have Gout too, and i was also told to stop eating meat - instead i just started eating even more.

Gout is caused by being fat bro.  Think about it - tribesmen who eat 100% meat diet don't get gout.  Kings who were eating nothing but Cake were always getting it.

Gout is just a symptom of diabetes.  

You will have to either lose weight or die.  Simple as that.

Not eating meat will only make you feeble.
