Signed, a person with a very efficient internal cooling system real sweaty Betty

Speaking as a.. sweaty Bernard I guess, I beg to differ on the crossed out part.

Both because sweating is an EXTERNAL cooling system (cooling from the skin in as the body heats up from the inside out) and because, at least in my case, the excessive sweating doesn't seem to make me tolerate heat better than most people. It's rather the opposite..

    Oh, yeah, I don’t tolerate the heat at all compared to other people, but I always tell myself the sweating is a consequence of that, and I’m actually cooling myself very well. Otherwise, I’ll go insane.

    But I mean internal to myself, as in not a separate device.

    You can certainly be a sweaty Bernard (or Freddy), but I am also in better times a chilly Willy and I reject the nickname chilly lily. Sometimes I’m also a cryin O’Brien, which sounds more neutral, but I am picturing this.

    (Side note:) I think the heat is getting to my brain, I would normally be very embarrassed to share the “baby talk” I use with my husband with people. Maybe my ability to cringe is related to the temperature.

    Oh I get that, so much of my social capacity shuts down whenever I'm overheating. No shame, forgetting that I can ask people for things, in general I'm just trying to go semi conscious in the dark as I sweat myself to dehydration

    I'm not vegan at all, but as someone who easily overheats, I eat very little or no meat at all in the summer because it greatly cools me down. Or maybe better said, meat heats me up. So I save it for winter

    Is this because meat is normally eaten hot, or does even cold (e.g. lunch meat) have this effect?

    Fwiw, I don't eat meat and do have an above average heat tolerance. No idea if there is correlation.

    I am vegan, so maybe that’s part of why I’m often chilly in the winter, but eating generally warms me up. That’s fine in the winter, but in the summer it makes eating anything substantial difficult.

    Maybe you can try some plant fats and high protein? Like a very decadent high protein cake? Though high bioavailable protein is a bit harder as a vegan than vegetarian, but I think it might still be possible to make a very decadent cake perhaps?

    I normally eat a bunch of tofu and legumes, so I get a lot of protein generally. Currently I’m doing a lot of (high protein and sugar free) skyr alternative that I mix with oats, almonds, chia seeds, frozen berries, and puffed amaranth, which is pretty nutritious, I just have to eat it very early or very late

    This only happens after periods of starvation.

    It happens for me no matter what. I’m talking about perceived warmth, because my actual temperature is only relevant if it’s outside of the healthy range, so I only measure it when I’m sick.

    Using a spray flask to keep my shirt (lower back) and socks wet, made the heatwave almost tolerable.

    Personally, I fill a foot bath with cold or lukewarm water and just keep my feet in there as much as possible while having a fan aimed at me.

    That combo has helped so much that I actually forget that it's too damn hot some of the time 😁
