I have been trying different diets (low-carb, high-protein, high-fiber, etc.), but nothing works for me! Currently, I'm walking and jogging on a treadmill five days a week and eat moderately (about 1,300 to 1,400 calories daily), but I still can't lose weight! Why is this happening, and what can I do?

I'm lactose intolerant and am concerned about my calcium intake. Are there specific foods that I should eat to compensate for the lack of dairy in my diet?

Getting enough vitamin C? For most women, your recommended daily intake is 75 mg. You don't have to rely on OJ for all your vitamin C; other fruits like guava, mango and strawberry are loaded with it, as are veggies like broccoli, bell peppers and kohlrabi.
