What to eat besides carbs? Ate another burrito for breakfast again. One scrambled egg and one slice of deli honey ham in an 8" flour tortilla.

Protein is what you want to be consuming. Eggs, beans, cheese, turkey, chicken, quinoa, greek yogurt, and protein powder should all be staples. You should balance these with foods like Kale, Broccoli, bananas, and other healthy foods.

One of the best tips I can give you is to "enhance" your standard meals with the addition of other ingredients. For instance, instead of having a burrito with just beans and eggs, add quinoa to the mix and you will have increased both the protein and fiber content of the burrito. These additions are not only good for your overall health, but can actually add quite a lot of taste to them. Also, foods like quinoa provide a triple whammy of protein, fiber, and will also make you feel fuller faster.

Another example: Instead of having just a quesadilla with cheese, add quinoa, pieces of kale, and a meat like chicken.

Further, you want to consume as little sugar as possible - but not go cold turkey. Instead, start adding water to whatever it is you drink (sorry, but if it is soda you will have to switch to iced tea or some other non-carbonated beverage). If you drink juice for instance, start by diluting it 1:1. Over time, you will find that your dependency on the sugar will fade and you can move to strictly water.

Finally, don't forget to get active and do activities YOU ENJOY. Switch it up and don't be afraid to look like a fool sometimes.

I can't help but assume that the people who think that people should want sex all the time are the people who never have sex.

Not necessarily true. People just have a hard time understanding differences in libido. This is actually the root cause of TC's problem.

TC, I have to be honest with you and tell you this relationship is probably done. If she threw that out there then she does not respect your privacy and whether or not it continues that is going to be something you will have to worry about. Not worth it.

I would also make sure you work on whatever issues you are having and make sure you are enjoying life. If you are, and your libido is precisely where you want it, then it is best to let her find someone more in tune with her while you find someone more in tune with you. This issue will not go away and will continue to cause resentment from her until she leaves you or does something that prompts you to leave her. Get out in front of the problem.
