low carb diets really take it out of you, when going into them you wanna gradually reduce the carbs, and then every few days make sure you eat a little bit of a higher ammount to keep you from losing too much energy if strength is an issue for you. If your dieting down for a BB show then dont worry about losing strength or being tired as hell, because you will carb up before the show. If you just dieting in general then do short cycles with your carbs going up and down so you can add some size and lose some fat. You could also try adding in some ALA and taking in a little more carbs.

Unlike most teenagers i could care less about strength lol. I dont wanna lose size. I happen to know some compedators that are goin in my class, and they are naturally ripped. Im bigger though. If i lose the size, theyl kill me. I just need a way to speed up recovery so im not constantly sore.
try 10 grams of glutamine when you wake up, wait 20 minutes before eating, 10g before training, 10g after training, and 10 before bed. after your workout add in aminos, i take 8 amino 2000 pills by twinlab. i feel the aminos are a huge boost after training, gives the muscle needed fuel to properly use the post workout protein.
don't go too low on carbs. get keto stix to see if you are in ketosis. what you do is start at 120 to 130 grams of carbs and start with the stix. lower your carbs every 2 days by 15g till you are in ketosis. my friend is able to have between 80 and 100 grams of carbs a day and still be in ketosis so he is never tired and very shredded (serratus is banging year round and he's all natural, 5'9" 220). everybody is different, you may be able to use more or less carbs but this is a good way of finding out. as you drop the carbs bring the fats up with it or else you'll deflate. good luck.
