Real quick, amiga. What bugs you most?

Tap one. It helps me talk to you.

That was me at 53.

Maya at 53, tired and bloated after a meal

Bloated after every meal, dragging by 3pm, and stuck at 215 pounds.

Two kids, a full time job, a divorce. Everyone said after 50 this is just what happens. I believed them.

I tried all of it.

  • Every diet on the planet
  • Counting every single calorie
  • Eating less than everyone around me
  • Coffee instead of breakfast

Nothing held. I figured my body was just broken.

Turns out I was starting in the wrong place.

Then I started with my gut.

A friend at work swore by one little capsule. Now I take it every morning, before the kids are even up.

In the first week or two, the bloating after meals quieted down. That calm is what made every other habit stick.

My 10 daily habits

These took me from 215 to 150 pounds over about a year. The capsule is for my stomach. The pounds came off from walking, real food and sleep. Tap any habit to read it.

A daily gut probiotic, every single morning

Feed your gut first, before anything else. I take one Physician’s CHOICE 60 Billion Probiotic with my morning water, before the kids are up. A friend at work swore by it, so I finally tried it.

It supports digestion and regularity, and it is the easiest thing on this whole list. You just swallow it.

The homemade gut drink I make every morning

Warm water, apple cider vinegar, fresh ginger, a squeeze of lime and a pinch of Ceylon cinnamon. My abuela made a version of this. It costs pennies a day, and the habit is the point: feed your gut first thing.

A walk every morning, before breakfast

Early, before the Texas heat. I don’t run, I walk. It settles my stress before the day gets its hands on me, and now it is my thinking time.

A full glass of water before every meal

Half of what I called cravings was thirst. When you are busy and stressed, thirst feels a lot like hunger. A glass of water first costs nothing.

A high protein breakfast within 30 minutes of waking

Eggs with salsa, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese. Nothing that takes more than five minutes. It keeps me full for hours and stops the mid morning snack attacks.

The kitchen closes at 7pm, no exceptions

Kids in bed, me at the counter, picking at things, not even hungry. Just tired. Now the kitchen closes at 7, and I wake up hungry for a real breakfast.

7 to 8 hours of sleep, protected like an appointment

I used to stay up late because it was my only quiet time. Every bad night meant wild cravings the next day. When I stopped treating sleep as optional, everything else got twice as easy.

No coffee on an empty stomach

I didn’t give up my café. I just moved it to after my walk and my breakfast. The shaky, hungry feeling that used to run my mornings mostly went away.

A 10 minute walk after dinner

Around the block and back. It winds me down for bed, and it is small enough that I never have a good excuse to skip it. Sometimes the kids even come.

Real food only, no processed junk

If I can’t pronounce it, I don’t buy it. Eggs, beans, corn tortillas, frozen vegetables, a whole chicken. All of it cheaper than the boxes and bags I used to fill my cart with.

“like how simple these are to incorporate into my daily routine. The capsules are easy to take and the bottle makes it convenient to keep track of them.

Questions women ask me

Is it worth the money?

I thought it would be pricey too. Then I did the math. It’s usually $24.97, it goes on sale a lot, and right now it’s $17.49 for 30 capsules, one a day, so about 58 cents a day. That is less than one café, and a lot less than all the diet stuff I used to buy that never worked.

Isn’t one capsule too simple to matter?

I thought that too. But simple is the point. I never stuck with the complicated plans. One capsule with my morning water, done. That is exactly why I never skip it.

How long until I feel a difference?

For me, the bloating calmed down over the first week or two, and by a month a calm stomach was just my normal. Everyone is different, so I tell my friends to give it a full 30 days.

How do I take it?

One capsule a day, with or without food. No powder to mix, no taste, no fridge. I keep the bottle by the coffee maker so I see it every morning.

Did the capsule make you lose the weight?

No, and I would never tell you that. The capsule is for my stomach, so it feels calm after meals and I stay regular. The 65 pounds came from walking, real food, sleep and closing the kitchen at 7pm.

Did you use weight loss shots or surgery?

No. No shots, no surgery, no meal plan subscription. Real food, walking, sleep, and one probiotic capsule every morning for my gut.

Do I need a gym?

Walking was my main movement for the first 4 months, every morning before breakfast and ten minutes after dinner. The sidewalk doesn’t watch you. Start there.

Can I do this if I’m over 50?

I started at 53. I’m 54 now. After 50 the rules change, but the game doesn’t end. Start with your gut and your stress, not calorie math.

Start where I did

One capsule every morning, about 58 cents a day. Once my stomach felt calm, everything else felt possible.
