Hi. i want to take advice regarfing my mother. as she is fat and wanna reduce weight. also she has joint pain which may be due to uracic acid.

Joint pain: If you are 51 your mother must be older. That would make it tougher for her to lose weight. The joint pain is probably related to arthritis - also common as one gets older. That also needs her doctor's attention - soon!
