I see two possible reasons why you feel those symptoms. 1) you need to eat snacks between meals to keep yourself from bottoming out. 2) your body reacts stronger to carbs, and you need to cut down even more. My body couldn't handle that amount of carb, for example.

Play around with your food, and see how you respond.
