Extreme Thirst/Urination After workout - Bodybuilding Discussion on Bodybuilding.net Training Forum

DrInsane · 03-21-2005, 11:47 PM

After working out, I take 40g of protein in the form of a shake. The following two hours, I am extremely thirsty and I end up drinking about half a gallon of water. As a result, I keep urinating. I was wondering if this was normal and if any of you guys also experience this?

Yea, I'm thinking about that. I don't want to risk kidney failure.

Are you taking creatine?? The reason for u being so thirsty after workout is u r under hydrated, walk around the gym with a water bottle. Hey, I love doing 5 minute stand up pee

it just feel sooo good.

Switch powders. I never heard of protein powder being bad for your kidneys. Wow, they should've put that on the back of the label!

GNC is about the worst brand you can ever buy. There was a study conducted where they found that their products contained less than what the label states.

Who is telling u that protein powder is bad for ur kidneys, I have been taking them for about5 years and I go through a five pound bag every other week. If protein is going to cause u to have kidney failure then you should avoid all the protein containing foods, such as beef, chicken, Tuna, Cheese, Milk, Eggs, and the list goes on.
