The main goal of the diet under discussion is to reduce the amount of fats and proteins (namely animals) in the patient’s diet. And besides, salt. These changes reduce the formation of uric acid and lead to the removal of existing in the body. Very often, such a diet is prescribed for gout.

What is the diet "Table number 6"

Such a diet is a therapeutic nutritional system, which is important to switch to in order to alleviate one’s condition with various urolithiasis and gout, as well as speed up the healing process.

A special diet normalizes metabolism, removes various harmful compounds from the body, and affects the formation of uric acid.

A healing diet called Table 6 is a complete diet that is suitable for both men and women. It has a normal daily energy value, therefore, such a nutrition system can be adhered to for a long time without damage to health and weight loss.

Diet rules for gout and high uric acid

With the discussed problem, uric acid salts are actively retained in the joints and kidneys. This process leads to disruption of the functioning of important organs.

Comprehensive treatment of the problem necessarily includes a special menu for the patient.

  • In your daily diet should be about 400 g of carbohydrates, approximately 60 to 80 g of protein and 70 to 90 g of fat. The average energy value (if you adhere to the recommended diet) will be from 2600 to 2800 kcal.
  • The patient on the diet under discussion will definitely need to carefully monitor the amount of sweets on the menu. You can not consume more than 75 g of sugar. Salt is allowed in an amount of not more than 9 g. The indicated measure is calculated per day.
  • Be sure to drink a lot during the diet. An adult with an average weight should drink about 3 liters of fluid. Soups are also included in this indicator. It is a large amount of drink that activates the urinary system and kidneys. As a result, uric acid is rapidly excreted naturally. If you cannot drink a lot of water, you can replace it with products with a diuretic property. Fresh cucumbers and watermelons stand out among such products.

Also in the process it is necessary:

  1. Eat more often and in minimal portions. At least 5 times a day.
  2. Drink alkaline mineral water and natural daily
  3. Avoid fasting. If a person refuses food for a long time, the concentration of a dangerous substance in the blood increases significantly, which worsens the patient's condition.
  4. Meat, fish dishes should be exclusively boiled, and, in addition, refuse to use the broth remaining after their preparation.
  5. Reduce purine intake. Products with their high content: meat offal, baker's yeast, flax seeds, dried raisins and others.

  • cakes and pastries;

Features of the diet "Table No. 6" for men, women

Men get gout much more often than women. In representatives of the stronger sex, pathology usually manifests itself after 40 years, and in women - after menopause.

Common causes of gout in men are obesity and / or frequent alcohol consumption. This is especially true for beer lovers. Therefore, a diet for gout for a man should exclude the use of fatty treats, “foamy” and other alcohol in any quantity.

For women, the main problem is regular overeating, eating a lot of muffin and chocolate. These points need to be paid special attention to changes in the diet. Favorite forbidden sweets should be replaced with homemade fruit / berry juice marmalade, pastille, jam, caramel. It is necessary to reduce portions for each meal.

The nuances of holding fasting days

In addition to the diet, patients with gout are advised not to forget about special fasting days that enable the body to relax from constant work on the digestion of a variety of heavy foods. If these days are properly organized, they will allow the patient to get rid of toxins, toxins and excess of the same uric acid. Proper unloading of the body accelerates the elimination of all unnecessary from it naturally.

Some patients mistakenly believe that on such days they will have to completely starve. In fact, during the unloading period you need to eat light and simple dishes / products, as well as drink a lot.

The most common fasting days are as follows:

  1. Fruit. 1 kg of fruit is consumed throughout the day. You can choose any fruits that are allowed to patients with gout. The main thing is not to choose any kind of plum for this purpose.
  2. Vegetable. 1 kg of fresh, boiled, baked (without butter) or steamed vegetables is eaten throughout the day. Any other than potatoes will do.
  3. Curd. A pound of low-fat dairy product is distributed throughout the day, divided into several meals.

Combined unloading days can also be arranged to your liking. For example, cottage cheese-fruit or cottage cheese-kefir (another 300 - 500 ml of low-fat kefir is added to the cottage cheese).

It is very important on such days to completely eliminate all prohibited foods - even in tiny portions. Drink as much unsweetened and still water as possible.
