For me, it was the always being tired no matter what, no brain fog. But when the "flashes" started and I was hot out of nowhere, that made me stop and go, “Okay, this isn’t just stress.” I thought I was losing my mind until I realized it was perimenopause.

Am I the only one who's felt tired for years? What was your first sign that something deeper was happening with your hormones? Let’s compare notes — maybe we’ll all feel a little less crazy together. 💛

Same! I don't do deserts, fried or processed foods. If I want something crispy I have an air fryer and if I really want protein to be made low and slow, I have a Traeger smoker on my deck. It's winter here in the US right now, I can't run my smoker in the cold weather to often, I have to really baby sit adding more pellets to keep the temp if I do. I love using my smoker!

I personally love using an air fryer myself, so I get it for something that needs to be crisp. I never smoked any of my meat, as I tend to use ButcherBox meats, and just air fry it.

I also happened to be American as well, and the winters where I reside are pretty harsh... and apparently, this year's winter will be particularly nasty.

Same here I'm in America and yes this winter will be rough. I think you give off "I'm not a chef, but you probably would be if wanted to kind of good a preparing healthy proteins" I just launched Carnivore Kitchen for people to give tips, post their recipes and learn from each other. I think you'd be right at home over there: !CarnivoreKitchen@lemmy.world Someone already posted a gorgeous chuck roast.
