Anyone following my gout diet progress will know that weight loss is a key issue for me, as it is for many other gout sufferers. If you suffer from gout, one of the first things you need to do is assess your weight, and body mass index is a good, quick guide.

I have mentioned body mass index (BMI) before. It is best used as an approximate guide rather than a specific measure as other factors are important. I like it because it is quick and easy to use.

I’ve just found a really useful online BMI calculator at whathealth.com. There’s lots of other useful information about BMI there, as well as general health and gout information.
