Default Extrememly low energy!!!

I am getting close to my goal and thought I followed the diet quite close to a "T" I never experienced the "energy bust" everybody talks about.

On the contrary I feel like each day I have less and less energy.
This week I have been lethargic and not able to continue my workouts as usual.
I am thinking about getting a supplement for energy, but I really don't want to depend on that to keep me barely going during the day.

I get my carb from salads, nuts, cheese, veggies and ocassionally berries, so the should stay with me for a while.
Anyway, i am frustreated and exhausted, the weigh loss is great, but I reeeally dislike not having any energy.

Comments/suggestions?
Am I the only one? what am I doing wrong?? please help!!!

Perhaps you should try to boost your suppliments as I have. I take L-Carnitine and Extra B & C and I have tons of energy despite not being in ketosis and sleeping, on average, 6 hrs a night.

I´ve never experienced that energy bust neither. My energy level reminds the same.
Are you taking your supplements?
Since I exercise intensively I take special care of getting my 20-30 grams of carbs daily. How about your carbs?
