Yes, weight loss diets often require calorie restriction and avoiding carbohydrates. Calories are simply the amount of energy we put into our bodies, the less calories we eat, the less energy we will have. Calorie restriction can also lead to nutritional deficiencies from simply not eating enough, which will make you feel tired. Also, not all diets, but some call for the restriction of all carbohydrates and favours the consumption of fats and protein. Avoiding unhealthy carbs such as white breads, white pasta, cakes, etc. is a good idea and should not make you feel tired, but avoiding or limiting your intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and other unprocessed, plant-based carbohydrates can make you feel more tired. Essentially, there are carbs, fats, and proteins. Carbohydrates are the number one most readily available source of energy, so restricting carbohydrates would indeed decrease your energy levels.
