I really appreciate your answer. When I stay on a high fat diet long enough I develop most of the symptoms you described plus terrible headaches and general weakness. I'm trying to figure out the macronutrition profile which will work best for me but I haven't managed yet to find it. If I'm going too high in fat I develop symptoms you described, when too high in carbs I develop blood sugar problems. Protein seems to be safe and I don't see any adverse effects of high protein intake.
