As far as the gout issue, I've certainly heard about people attempting Atkins or other keto diet and coming down with Gout.
It may have something to do with maintaining proper suplementation during a keto diet.
Of course, of the folks who have followed these diets strickly (aka bodybuilders), I've never seen or heard of the gout issue. A friend of mine did bodyopus for nearly 3 months. Not a problem but he was suplementing his diet (he also won Mr. Pennsylvania in his weight class).
So, it may just happen to the "I'm gonna do atkins and drink vodka and not excercise" group.
But, I'd be interested in expert opinions.
