I have been tested for deficiencies and other than low iron and vitamin D which have since been corrected (with no improvement) I have come to the conclusion that it's insufficient glycogen stores, it isn't psychosomatic I'm sure as other things that could have had a placebo effect like iron supplements made little difference.I don't have super low carbs, probably 50 - 80g most days, and haven't eaten meat for 40 years so eat a lot of beans, le tils, quinoa etc. If you are not in ketosis, glucose is still the primary source of energy and it seems some people can cope well with limited carb intake but others less so. I have been reading research about fat intake increasing IR, so may try a little more carbs but less fat, I eat a lot of nuts at the moment.</blockquote>
