Number 8 is the one most people miss. It works best on top of the others, so don't skip ahead.
Here’s what helps me
-
1
Corn tortillas instead of flour
Smaller, simpler and made from whole corn.
How to: Warm them in a dry pan for 30 seconds on each side.
-
2
Greek yogurt instead of sour cream
Same tang, more protein.
How to: Use plain Greek yogurt with a squeeze of lime.
-
3
Whole beans instead of refried
More fiber, less lard.
How to: Season whole pinto or black beans with cumin, garlic and onion.
-
4
Fajita bowl instead of a big plate
Skip the pile of chips and rice.
How to: Peppers, onions, protein and salsa over greens or a small scoop of rice.
-
5
Baked chips instead of fried
Still crunchy, much lighter.
How to: Cut corn tortillas into wedges, spray with oil, bake at 375F for 10 minutes.
-
6
Pico de gallo instead of queso
Fresh vegetables instead of a bowl of cheese.
How to: Tomato, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, lime and salt.
-
7
Agua fresca instead of soda
Sweet, cold and made from fruit.
How to: Blend watermelon with water and lime, strain and serve over ice.

The one most people miss
These swaps let me keep my Tex Mex nights, and one little capsule every morning keeps my stomach calm after them.
Here’s why: lots of probiotics die in stomach acid before they ever reach the gut. Mine comes in a delayed release capsule made to get through the stomach, with 10 strains and a prebiotic to feed them.

Quick questions
How long until I feel a difference?
For me, my stomach felt calmer over the first week or two, and by a month it was just my normal. Everyone is different, so give it a full 30 days.
Is it hard to take?
No. One capsule a day, with or without food. No powder to mix and no taste. I take mine with my morning water.
Is it worth the money?
I thought it would be pricey, but it’s usually $24.97, goes on sale a lot, and it’s $17.49 right now. That’s about 58 cents a day, less than a cup of coffee.
Can I take it with the rest of my routine?
Yes, I take it alongside everything on this page. Simple is the point: one capsule, then I get on with my day. If you take medication, read the label and ask before you start.
