Oh my god the fatigue was extreme. I had so little energy and took a long nap most days, it was awful. Over in WomensStuff I have a long post about my experiences with peri so far, in which I talk about what my first signs were and how bad it got before I finally got on HRT.

Oh, I don't do much dairy, I love oat milk, I don't consume sugar, I am a carnivore though. Giving up caffeine won't happen, but other than that, I've balanced the same 20lbs between 135 -155 by keeping my nutrition the same. I'd just love to get by in the gym like I used to so I have to go on HRT, hopefully my Gyno will put me on a therapy plan that actually works
I've been cycling high protein low carb this month and I always enjoy it. I know it's not sustainable long term, but it's such a good way to decrease belly fat and drop unnecessary water weight and it keep me satiated longer, so no crashing between meals
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!
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.
