Thumbs up P90X and low carbing?

Sorry this might have been asked before but....

I am a on and off low carber i guess, recently my new sport doctor put me on again, since low carbing as got a lot of meat to cure my anemia, now that this issue is dealt with i decided to stay on low carb variation, meaning that i still eat my berry mix not everyday but at least 3 times per week, i cut out sugar and caffeine as well, and i feel great.

My main problem when low carbing as that when i reach ketosis its hell for me, i get all the ill effect fogginess lack of energy and dizziness that does not seem to go away.

Now i remember weight lifting while in ketosis and having huge trouble doing so, virtually no pump, lack of energy and huge lactic acid build up.

Question is how do you people manage to do a program like P90X who is intense with some insane cardio and circuit training on a low carb diet.

I am really interested in doing P90X and sticking to low carbing trying to get to 180 pounds right now i am at around 215.

Also what rep range do you use, i usually stick with the 12 reps but when doing push ups and chins?

Thanks everyone.
