Do Low Carb Diets Affect Exercise Fatigue?

Although low-carb diets are popular, I was wondering if the lack of carbs creates early fatigue during exercise? In the October 2007 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association set out to determine whether low carb diets might result in early fatigue during sustained exercise. This study showed that there was significant "tiredness" during exercise due to ketosis when eating only 5% of their food from carbs, 65% from fats, and 30% from protein. Anyone care to shed personal experiences on this topic?
