I think boredom in the 4-6 month range is very common with low-carbers. The honeymoon is coming to an end. Because of the miracle of low-carbing, you're eating out of hunger and not for the temporary thrill of carbs. You're keeping your blood sugar and seratonin levels steady, and are no longer a carb slave.

Will switching plans bring back that "lovin' feeling"? Probably not. When it all boils down, PP is quite similar to Atkins in insulin control and you can eat on Atkins what you can eat on PP.

Maybe it's time to make it a little more interesting. Try new foods, try out some new recipes and live it up. It's only as boring as you want to make it.

I've been low-carbing for three years and went through that period too. I didn't even know what to eat for a while and lost interest in cooking. It struck me - because of the reasons above - that it was time to take the bull by the horns and make it interesting for myself again, with a vengence.
