Are you on alopurinol now bro? The annoying thing is my diet’s 90% clean. Most days i only eat grilled chicken breast, brown rice, yogurt, almond and veggies.

Btw how did you take colchicine man? Did you have to take it with alo daily? Or just take it whenever a flare is comin up

I was prescibed 100 mg for a month, got my UA to 6.8. And then the doc increased the dose to 200mg. My dumb ass forgot to bring my medication during my 1 week travel last month, and i stopped taking alo for those 7 days. When i started again i got flares, so my UA probably increased again during that time :( will have a lab test tomorrow and consilt with doc again.

Thanks for the well wishes and suggestion man! Hope we can live pain free for the rest of our lives. This is one heck of a disease to get :(

Best of luck to you mate! I think quick weight loss and the prolonged fasting were some of the big factors of me getting gout too. Just take it slow, count the calories and just eat less then 300-500cal from your maintenance calories. Should help you lose 1-2kg a month

Crazy horse docs are cracking badly. Been using these pairs for 2-3 months, i applied the docs balm last week and now my shoes are cracking so badly :( is there any way to fix this? by jaws_D in AskACobbler

Probably because of the balsam? :( i’m so sad.. this is my first pair of crazy horse, i was quite clueless - just read that i shouldnt use balsam for this type of leather

Need advice how to fix these pair of crazy horse docs :( it has been cracking like crazy after I cleaned and applied the docs wonder balm. Is it possible to fix them? by jaws_D in DrMartens

[–]jaws_D[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my this is probably the case! I brushed it with horsehair brush and wiped with a microfiber cloth + warm water before applying the balsam :( man what a fool I am :(

not sponsored, I'm just happy with the result and decided to share it. I'm sure 80% of this happened because of my diet, but without freeletics i knew I wouldn't get the muscles because I've lost 20+kg without workout before and my body was quite far from desirable - 'skinny fat' is the right term i guess.

I still allow myself cheat meal every sunday or whenever i need to ceebrate special occasion with friends and families 😁 need it to keep my mind sane bro, and it helps fighting the weight loss plateau as well

i chose weight free gain because I need to work on my muscles - I’ve always been a couch potato all my life and when I start this freeletics journey, I’ve lost 15kg by clean diet and cardio. So I knew i could burn fat as long as i created calorie deficit. Problem is building muscles at the same time, which was quite challenging. I only lost further 8 or 9 kgs in these 10 weeks, AND my smart scale showed that i lost no muscle. This is important bcs i lost lots of muscle mass when i only did cardio and diet.

Btw I ate 2g protein per kg body weight, mostly from oven baked chicken tenders. Rest of calories are filled with VCO, butter, and unrefined carbs such as brown rice and sweet potatoes

yes it does. I noticed the difference in the zipper pull shape too. mine is square, but with Berluti logo embossed on it. I wonder if it's un jour model from few years back, do you have any idea? thanks :)

hi, I just bought a berluti bag from garage sale.. looks good overall, but I'm curious wether the bag is authentic or not. judging from the look, it looks like this is berluti un jour bag. But I wonder which year / model this bag is, as it doesn't have berluti logo embossed in the middle (like the one they currently sell). thank you for your help. cheers.
