Under my current regime I am getting nearly all my macronutrients from
refined wheat, corn, potatoes, rice, dairy, and eggs (primarily egg
whites), all of which have very low purine, especially dairy
since milk is not cellular in nature. I am freely consuming some
vegetables like summer squash and onion, but avoiding peppers,
asparagus and mushroom. I am eating very small (compared to
before) quantities of garbanzo beans, whole wheat, tofu, and
other vegetables. I am eating some fruits.
I am trying to get at least 25 grams of protein/day from dairy,
so that I only need 25 additional grams/day from other sources.
I don't know how long I'll have to do this, but I could return
to a more varied diet in perhaps 10 weeks if all goes well.
