Changing my diet immediately

I’ve been on a high protein low carb diet for almost a month and lately I’ve been feeling sick.

I’ve been peeing every 10 minutes literally!

Feeling dizzy, fatigued, mild nausea, and constipation.

This is what happens to the body when you’re not getting enough carbs.

I’m going back to eating a more normalized sensible diet but counting my calories.

I’ve learned my lesson the hard way

Smart. Counting calories and at the same time getting a balance of protein, carbs and fat is good. All three in moderation is good in my opinion

I ate some more carbs and am feeling better but I’m still peeing a lot!

If this continues I’m going to contact the family doctor

might be your prostate gland…I used to pee a lot at night…got put on flomax generic for it…

The kidneys release a lot of fluid on low carb diet, that may be why you’re going so much? Either that or a uti can cause the frequent urination. Are you drinking more fluid than usual? As far as constipation goes that’s common on low carb. More fiber like low carb veggies, and maybe some magnesium caps to help. You need more sodium and fat on low carb too, that might help with the sick feeling. I did low carb years ago, it can be challenging in the beginning. Calorie counting is just as good though too. If you can’t feel better after a month on low carb, then maybe it’s not for you?

I guess that can happen, not always to everyone though. I usually go high protein and low carb to look my best/ get the ladies. Doesn’t really have a bad effect on me.

It was the protein shake that was making me pee a lot.

Didn’t have anymore this morning and everything is back to normal

too high of protein diets can be hard on the kidneys. Perhaps why you’ve been peeing a lot?
