Are you possibly allergic to gluten? Any symptoms other than bloating that went away when you cut the carbs? If the bloating is the main reason you went low carb, then you might just need to stay away from something more specific (like wheat) than carbs in general. (though I would expect that fatigue would have gotten better, not worse, in the case of celiac.).

There are a lot of carb foods that reduce bloating. Citrus fruits, pineapple, melons, cooked vegetables...etc. Also, drinking lots of water helps too especially if the high fat and high protein foods you are eating contains a lot of sodium, because excess sodium is guaranteed to make you bloated.

Even with the increased sodium from fat, I'm still pretty non bloated. Primarily the best carbs that do it to be, potatoes and pastas. But, those are the only carbs I care for specifically. So I'd rather lose weight and get lean and ditch the rest:) I do have the occasional fruits and such but nothing heavy.

Those are the ones that caused the biggest problem with bloating for me back when I cut wheat out of my diet (I had other symptoms in addition to the bloating though, which also cleared up that I had no idea were related) - I can eat them in small quantities now without issue, but will react to more than 1 slice of pizza or a whole bagel.

So, let's start by saying I've been working out for 5 years! I'm an insurance agent by day and a personal trainer by night. About 4 weeks ago, I started low carb. Before low carb, I was eating a good 200g carbs a day. If not more. Slowly been decreasing. I'm aiming for between 30-40g carbs per day now (WHILE EATING HIGH FAT AND HIGH PROTEIN).

By the time I finish my 9-5 job as an insurance agent, then complete training my clients by 9 or 10 pm, I am exhausted!!

If I have time during my gym shift without clients, I'll fit my session in then. If not, I head to the gym afterwards.

Any suggestions on increasing energy? Like perhaps time to inhale carbs? (Yes, I said inhale carbs) ha! All suggestions welcome.

I would go to the doctor and ask him or her if yo can have some blood work done. Last year i had a similar experience and my vitamin D was low. Try eating your regular meals with carb before you felt tired to see if is that! Did you check for diabetes? Thyroid? They can make you feel tired.
