This is an intervention study aiming to test the effectiveness of a vegan diet, My Plate with low purine choices, and amla fruits on uric acid and other cardiometabolic risk factors in individuals with high serum uric acid levels.
Ninety-two participants with hyperuricemia will be randomly assigned to one of these 4 diet interventions: (1) vegan, (2) vegan with amla fruits, (3) my plate-low purine, (4) my plate-low purine with amla fruits. During the 3 months intervention phase, participants will attend group lessons and individual nutrition counseling sessions to assist adherence to the diet. At baseline, end of 3 months, and 1 year, participants will be measured on uric acid and other cardiometabolic risk factors, and some nutritional markers. Amla fruits powder, and some foods encouraged in each dietary arm will be provided to enhance adherence during the 3 months intervention phase.
