Takeaway
So, if you have been feeling any of these things lately, there is a possibility of you overdosing on proteins. Talk to your doctor and see how you can change your diet. There isn’t a “one size fits all” answer to how much you should be eating per day because it depends on each person’s age, weight, and lifestyle.
For example, a 140-pound person should eat about 51 grams of protein per day. But some people may need more. If you’re an athlete, increase that to 1.2 to 1.7 grams of protein per kilogram. It’s very dependent on the patient’s size, how much exercise that person is doing, and how much muscle mass that person has.
If you take your whole diet into account, there shouldn’t be more than 35 percent of your daily calories that come from protein, says the US National Library of Medicine. The good news is that most of the symptoms covered above will clear up as soon as you reduce your protein and eat more carbs. Drink some Gatorade, which will give you more energy and make you feel a lot better, and stop that ketosis process.

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.
