[quote=Anonymous]My mom is a petite woman, about 105 lbs and 5'3". She had gout flare ups and now is on a restrictive diet from her doctor. I have never heard of a small woman like my mom who doesn't drink or eat fatty meats get gout, but I'm not a doctor. It has also uncovered a disordered and restrictive eating that centers around baked goods and sodas. What is odd is that my mom cannot eat fish or vegetables, but can eat beef, sugar, non-fat or sugar-free. She talks about it incessantly and makes comments about our weight. My sister and I are both average weight and height and we eat very clean and exercise daily. My mom has never exercised, but has always been obsessed with diet culture and restrictive eating. She insists she has to drink a high calorie cherry juice and sugar free sodas, eats an Elf diet as my son describes it (pasta, junk food, sugar, lots of "fat free and sugar free" snacks). I asked my mom what she is able to eat so I could make dinner for her this week? She tells me everything she cannot eat. I looked up this "diet" and it doesn't sound right. This is the same woman who has a mental health diagnosis and went once to therapy and thinks she is "cured". I don't like the message her diet messages send to my children, particularly my tween daughter. I asked her to stop and she continues to go on. She even texted my daughter a few diet meal plans![/quote]
