Anyone like me? I feel like when I go too low carb it backfires. Any mid carb range high protein diet suggestions?

It sounds to me like your normal plan was working for you, and you just got bored. Were you losing weight on this plan? If so, you may want to continue with it but try more variety of foods. Boredom is a #1 killer of "diets." You need to find a way to not make this a "diet" and make it more a way of life. Maybe try some new recipes that fall within your plan's range.
As far as being tired of counting calories goes, it's just something you'll have to do. Counting calories, or counting carbs, or counting fat grams, or sodium or any other item you need to keep an eye on is necessary. Think of it as being in charge of what you're putting in your body. |
