[QUOTE="johnoh, post: 169495, member: 18905"] I did keto, then just low-carb, for a year recently, went like this: 20 net carbs per day: low energy, not great sleep 30 net carbs - a little better, still not great 40 net carbs - felt great 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 same as 40. during that year I lost 20 pounds and strength stayed close to the same, overall fitness improved. Took metamucil when net carbs were at their lowest less because its insane to starve your gut of fiber. So I wonder if you simply are too low on net carbs. I had good energy when at a 800 calories per day deficit and net carbs of 40 or 50. Never once measured for ketones, didn't even want to know. Always had some blackberries and a half an apple every day too, avoiding fruit altogether felt like a bad idea. Never ate after 4pm due to schedule, so am a natural intermittent faster. Also never went more than three weeks at a calorie deficit, would always insert one week per month of maintenance calorie intake, wanting to avoid any kind of chronic stress state. IF you do not have high blood pressure, I recommend getting enough sodium and of course water. I put 1tsp of table salt into my morning shake myself. You may be asking too much of your body and are high in cortisol. I now just walk 30 minutes a day (normal pace), do a hard 10 minutes on the elliptical once a week, and do 30 minutes of resistance bands three times a week. I feel way better today and am in better shape than when I was hitting the gym hard for 6 days a week. It never occurred to me that I was overdoing it before, but looking back now its obvious. Maybe you could try sleeping more and working out less. The american mantra of "more is more" leads many people to naturally overdo it. [/QUOTE]
