Hi,
the problem is that lift must be able to support the weight of your plane, which it does generally. In a turn you are adding extra weight to your plane by the centrifugal force applied in the turn. This means that lift must now => weight of plane and the extra force applied.
Also look at your bank/slip gauge and see where the top needle points, if it not in the middle then you are also doing an 'un-coordinated' turn and will be bleeding off even more energy.
Once the weight of of the plane + any other forces is > than lift you will stall, irrespective of what speed you are doing.
Practise, practise practise.
