Your Brain Is Foggy
Glucose is the main source of fuel in your brain. If there’s an increase in dietary protein that displaces a healthy intake of carbs, your brain may not get the power it needs to function at its best. As a result, you may notice that your brain feels foggier than usual. If you have long-term overload and start to get ammonia buildup in the bloodstream, you may catch episodes of dizziness or disorientation.
Pro tip: If you feel foggy, grab a quick source of carbs to gain some clarity. However, dizziness or disorientation are much more severe and may require medical attention. Contact your doctor if these signs arise.

I was totally lost. I have most of the symptoms you mention. Constipation being the worst. I thought I was supposed to eat a lot of protein for energy which I still do not have. I also think it was caused by a medicine I take for my diabetes. I was losing weight which I was doing good but have stopped losing and feel bloated.
Great article on high-protein diets. I am so trying to lose 50 pounds (at the age of 75) and I have been leaning toward fewer carbs and replacing them with protein. Good advice. Thank you.
