Protein Poisoning
How common is this?
I ask because I checked the symptoms for it and ive been suffering insomnia, low blood pressure and my lower back feels bloated as hell for the last few days and that does match some of the listed symptoms. It could be a coincidence but i'm just looking for opinions.
My macros that i've been eating to are the following:
80g Fats
100g Carbs ( all from fruit and veg as i've been following the paleo diet)
300g Protein.
My blood pressure when I checked tonight was 113/55 with a pulse of 53. This isn't horrible but the diastolic is low.
Am I just panicking needlessly or am I actually eating a dangerous amount of protein compared to the other macros here? I've actually been destroying bodyfat after turning to the paleo diet about 3 weeks ago. Any thoughts?

When I dramatically cut carbohydrates I go through a brief period of hypoglycemia for about 2 weeks. Usually hits hard around 3pm, shaking, sweating and light headed. It also brings on some insomnia, (rapid heartbeat for me). As levelup says, plenty of water to keep those kidneys flushed... also try and add some good ole apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup to a gallon of water and maybe add some dandelion root! Cut some fruits and try upping your healthy fats, olive oil, natty PB or Almond butter! This helps me keep my sanity (if there's any left)
remember to take your liver/kidney support, plenty of water. drop the protein to 200 for a week and see if you feel better.
I have some milk thistle but never thought i'd need anything else as im not on anything major. I've come off creatine for the last 3 weeks and will get back on at another time, but the supplements im using are basically:
Omega 3 fish oil
CLA - had some spare given to me, thought what the hell on a cut.
Orange triad multi-vit
Uni-Liver
Also taken Pre-erase for the last few weeks. Will have the bottle and then abandon.
Nothing super chronic in there but if you guys can recommend some general wellbeing liver/kidney support thats not too expensive im down. I think i've heard of liv-52 before.
Thanks for the posts, I ended today on about 250g protein had a kiwi fruit and an orange before bed instead of the protein shake lol. Ends up being less calories than the 300 cals per 3 scoop evening shake.
AnonI thought pro poising happened when all that is eaten for prolonged time is pro and nothing else! if your eating your greens and fruit u shouldnt get pro poising I thought bro
Fever? Dark smelly piss?
not really got a fever, been hot and sweaty a bit earlier but nothing major. Piss is pretty light and doesn't smell awful, smells like the Uni Liver tablets ive been having. Kinda a weird beef smell but theyve always done that.
Just checking you're not having kidney infection. Keep eye on your bp...if it dips lower I'd check into er.
