-How much carbs are you eating? Are you eating any grains or fruit? What about veggies?
-try eating a bit more.
I would try the diet for another week or two and see if your body acclimates to fat as an energy source. If you feel better, great. If you still feel like crap, maybe add some carbs in slowly.(fruits, oatmeal, stuff like that.)

I'll pick up some fish oils tomorrow from the store.
I don't get my serving of nuts every day because most of the time I'm fairly full.
Because I'm on a vacation right now my sleep pattern has been screwed up. Go to sleep at 3AM and wake up at 9AM. I'm trying to change that.
I'm not eating very many carbs. The only large amount I have is 30g pre/during workout and then another 30g after my workout.
For veggies I usually have a cup of peppers in the morning with my three egg cheese omlette then for dinner I have either spinach and tuna or chicken breast (2) with 2 cups of mixed vegetables (cauliflower, brocoli, carrots, yellow carrots). The only fruit I have are pears (one a day) and zero grains.
I have some low carb bread (8g per slice - 1.5g of fibre) that I may start eating. I'm thinking one slice with organic peanut butter with my breakfast and then another slice with peanut butter with my lunch.
And I am trying my best to eat as much of the good foods as I can so I hope that's not the case. Here's my usual menu:
Breakfast
3 x large egg omlett
2-3 slices of cheese (mostly inside the omlette)
1 cup peppers
Workout
20g protein + 30 g maltodextrin + water
Post Workout
20g protein + 30g maltodextrin + water
Lunch
Cottage Cheese (1 cup)
2 slices of cheese
1 pair
Dinner
2 cups steamed vegetables
2 chicken breast OR plate of spinach + tuna
1 cup green peppers
Before sleep
30g protein + water
To be honest the only difference between this diet and what I was eating normally, along with rarely eating vegetables, was after each workout and 2 hours before bed I would have the following protein shake:
1 cup milk
30g protein
2 x banana
1 tablespoon of peanut butter
all mixed in a blender.
