It could well be you haven't replaced the lost calories and nutrients. There is bound to be a deficit in energy levels if you just cut carbs without increasing either fats or protein or both. You need to keep an eye on calories as well as carbs. I hope you feel better soon.

As Bluetit says, if you reduce carbs you need to have something else instead. I recommend fat of some kind. Fills you up nicely and doesn't affect bg.
