Cut back on the fruit, and add raw meat or other animal protein
(although
I usually lightly-cook my meat, and eat eggs with raw yolks and cooked
whites).

It makes sense to me. I used to have terrible problems with fruit
(partly
due to a yeast overgrowth that is now gone), but even now fruit
increases
fatigue a bit unless it is a small amount. Balancing the blood sugar
by
having 2 or 3 (animal) protein meals daily has helped me.

symptom
profile, and cures or improvements to date of my problems) from a

fatigue syndrome':
