How much carbs are you eating? Love me some carbs especially after a workout.
How much of this is a placebo effect of changing your diet around? Again moderation is key. I try to minimize carbs in general but happy to treat myself from time to time. And not afraid to eat carbs when it's convenient, especially in social situations. I refuse to be afraid of a birthday cake.
My guess is number high level athletes who are keto / carnivore is relatively small.. they don't have energy issues.
This stuff works for most people for a short while and they will proselytize their diet to everyone but is hard to maintain long term. 80+% of the time a couple of years later they have stopped talking about their diet and regained most of the weight as with any fad diet.
Carbs make my blood sugar spike a lot and then crash, so about an hour after having a decent amount, say two sandwiches, I can really feel the brain fog.
I also eat it on occasion but the negative effects are quickly apparent and eating like that for a few days like over the holidays I can feel the effect.
Pretty sure if you eat fat with meat you shouldn't have energy issues, domestication of grains is a very recent event in our history, or rather we were domesticated by wheat very recently...

Which sandwiches?
The bread is fresh and made with organic and ancient grain flour not genetically modified?
What filling does it have? Seasonal vegetables? Not industrial processed cheese?
Why two sandwiches and not just one? :)
Suggestion: when you eat carbo/sugar also eat 8/10 almonds to lower the glycemic peak.
