This can happen when you either Cut your Overall Calories Too much.
Or Cut your Carbs Too much..................................... JP
P.S.
Here's where you need to try Small Changes, to see what works for you.

It is normal to feel tired and depleted during a cutting phase when your calories are low and you are trying to cut body fat but you shouldn't feel like a walking zombie. That is a red flag that you are taking too aggressive of an approach too soon.

One of the biggest mistakes I see people make when they start a cutting phase is they go all out at the beginning. They go from eating 4000 calories per day to eating 2000 calories per day and add in an hour of cardio. That is WAY too aggressive of an initial start. You always want to loose weight on the most amount of food and least amount of cardio possible so you have room to get more aggressive later on as your progress stalls.

It sounds to me like you took a too aggressive approach with your cutting phase to start. I would increase your carbs by 50-100g per day. You will probably feel a lot better and keep dropping body fat.

Remember that hard weight training is what builds and sculpts the physique. If you are so depleted that you can't train hard, you won't get the results you want. It's not a suffering contest.

Start with just a single 20 minute session. Two cardio per sessions per day is a lot. It's really hard on the central nervous system to get the body revved up and going twice per day like that.

Try carb cycling

What is your caloric deficit at? You may want to decrease it a bit.

BINGO

if you are so weak that you can't get in a proper workout then you need more carbs period

carbs are NOT the enemy when used correctly, they are a weapon

 

[Jay Scott]

It might be that its just the transitionary period. Like you decrease the cals and the first days feel like shit, until your body gets used to it

Since you are on a cutting cycle, most probably you are consuming less calories, hence the lethargy and lack of energy. You might use DSpark before working out - it helps me a lot, and it has no stims, so it would be a very good alternative to try out. Also, try eating an hour before working out - this should also give you the energy to make it through the training session.
