Cheese Why it's good: Studies have found that women with PMS have lower levels of calcium around ovulation than women who don't experience PMS symptoms, so amping up your intake of cheese and other dairy products is worth a shot if you're prone to cramps and mood swings. Eat Up! Make sure you're getting at least the recommended amount of calcium daily—experts say only 10% of us are getting it through diet alone! Women under 50 need 1,000 mg; if you're 50 or over, 1,200 mg. Aim for three servings of calcium rich foods like cheese and yogurt daily; women over 50 should tack on a fourth serving.

Homemade, Veggie-Full Ground “Meat”
This faux “ground beef” (or “meaty crumbles”) is a delicious alternative to the store-bought processed soy products. The mixture conveys the idea of meat without using any artificial ingredients or soy. You can use this “meat” as a base for lasagna or as the main ingredient in a wonderful tortière (meat pie) that’s impressive served as the main dish at a holiday meal. Alternatively, simply sprinkle some over your spaghetti and marinara sauce (I wouldn’t recommend cooking it in the sauce, as it will simply dissolve right in—though the flavors will still be delicious!). I’ve also used this “meat” as a topper over pizza, added it to wraps and sprinkled my chili with it.

10 Habits That Make You Fat
If losing weight were easy, no one would be overweight. Unfortunately, the facts are indisputable: A chili-cheese omelet is more delicious than an egg-white omelet, French fries taste better than side salads and chicken is yummier when battered and fried.
