I don't know your macros, but I'm guessing you're doing a general low-carb as in 100g a day or less. In that case, you're likely not providing enough carbs to act as your primary energy source but you're also not low enough to enter ketosis (something like 20-30g or less). You're in low-carb limbo and have probably been pushing too many straight days on a deficit.
Why not refeed?
