Umm ... I missed this thread before but ...

... there is a thing amongst low carbers called "induction flu" that happens to some people when they shift from normal/high carb diet to a very low carb diet. Low energy and flu-like symptoms are part of it and are reported to taper off and go away as you adapt. Some people can't stay on very low carb however because they just can't seem to shake the effect.
