Get Ahead of PMS

Your body needs more, not less, in the second half of your cycle.

I used to restrict during PMS, thinking it would help me stay on track. Now I know better — and I feel better too.

Here’s what to eat (and why it matters) when you’re in the luteal phase:

• Roasted root veggies

• Sweet potatoes

• Lentils

• Leafy greens

• Magnesium-rich snacks (dark chocolate, almonds)

These foods support your mood + hormones — and help reduce those intense cravings and energy crashes.
