Seconded, make sure you're getting plenty of water! Also, since you've cut back a lot on fast food, which is a great thing, you might have cut your daily calories a little low without realizing it... As a rough guess, add a 0 on the end of your bodyweight in pounds to get a rough idea of how many calories your body burns in a day on it's own, as in if you weigh 180lbs, you'd probably need right around 1800 cals a day to both maintain your current weight and also keep your energy level up. By cutting out a lot of high-calorie fast food and red meat, you could have also cut your overall daily calories much lower and this could be dragging you down a little.
