Instant Loss - Conveniently Cook Your Way To Weight Loss

Encouragement. Motivation. Delicious Recipes.

 
About Me instantloss.com

I’m Brittany and Instant Loss is my little corner of the internet. Instant Loss was founded in April 2017 after I was encouraged by a group of 200,000 total strangers on the internet to start a blog, but I’m getting ahead of myself. 

I grew up in a very busy household, the oldest of seven kids, with a full time working mother. If it was frozen, microwaveable, fast, and processed, we ate it.

I was a conditioned picky eater. We ate a lot of macaroni and cheese and chicken nuggets with french fries. On the rare occasion healthier options were available I’d decline. I’d say I didn’t like it but really I just didn’t know it, healthy food was foreign to me.

By the time I was in middle school I was noticeably overweight and by the end of high school I was over 200 pounds. I’m only 5’2 3/4 so that’s a lot for me.

I’m the one in the green sweatshirt, I was 18.

I met my amazing husband when I was 20. He’s the one who introduced me to eating clean and unprocessed but I didn’t convert right away. Honestly, I thought he was a little bit wacky with his organic produce and whole grain bread. He’s one in ten billion though, he never pressured me, never tried to change me, just gently encouraged me to not eat chicken nuggets and french fries for every meal. 

After we had our first baby I hit 260 pounds, I knew that my diet sucked but it was hard to stick to anything with 25+ years of poor choices and bad habits under my belt. I tried counting calories, juice fasting, paleo, Whole30, Weight Watchers, and everything in between. It all worked for a time but I always ended up falling off the wagon and gaining it all back. I was addicted to processed food and sugar and I didn’t know how to kick my habit.

In January 2017 I issued myself a personal challenge. I decided to make all of our meals at home for an entire year and stop eating out. This time I was armed with knowledge about food and about myself. Failing so many times taught me exactly what I needed to do to succeed. I needed to shift my thinking. This wasn’t a short term diet, I needed to makeover my entire way of eating, forever.

You’ve heard it said a million times, it’s not a diet it’s a lifestyle. Well, it’s true. This ain’t no short term gig, Jenny. If this is gonna work you’ve got to commit.

I figured if I ate real food that came from the earth in modest portions I’d be alright. No counting, no tracking, no crazy diets. Just eating real food.

So in January 2017 I started. Within the month I’d lost 19 pounds, at the end of three months I’d lost 46 pounds, and by the end of the year I’d lost 125 pounds!

Armed with handy kitchen gadgets that made cooking at home easier like my Instant Pot and my Vitamix I got cooking.  I literally cooked the weight away! No gym memberships or formal exercise just eating food from the earth prepared in my kitchen. 

Back to that 200,000 member FB group. I randomly decided to share my story in a Facebook group one day and it went mini viral. Everyone wanted to know what my recipes were and what I was eating. I started my own Facebook Group just to get the friend requests to stop and within 24 hours we had over 20,000 people join! I quickly discovered that sharing recipes on Facebook was not efficient, so InstantLoss.com was born. Now I develop recipes that help people get healthy! I am the author of two best selling cookbooks! Instant Loss Cookbook and Instant Loss Eat Real, Lose Weight which both contain over 125 recipes just like those my family and I ate while I was losing weight. Click here to find out more or to order your copy!

So to all of you who are just joining us, welcome! I’m so glad to have you here and I hope that Instant Loss can provide you with a little bit of community, a little bit of inspiration, and a lot of yummy food!  💜

We got back home on Monday night and first thing T We got back home on Monday night and first thing Tuesday morning Brady and I got back to it. I’ve learned over the years that not leaving trip indulgences on the trip can be a slippery slope. As soon as we come back home it’s back to our normal grind.⁣
⁣
I ate gluten and dairy-full pizza, ate an ice cream cookie bar shaped like Mickey’s face, there was even a churro in there! In the midst of that most of my meals were still pretty healthy— I ate a taco bowl, a few salads, and tried to drink plenty of water. ⁣
⁣
I’ll be tracking again for a short time as we get back on track, I always do. I’ll post workouts and my food log in stories. If you’re curious to see one of my past back-on-tracks aka BOT, visit my October BOT highlight on Instagram. ⁣
⁣
It’s never too late to start again, you’ve just got to start. I’ve gotten back on track a million times, it doesn’t mean you can’t do it, it just means you’re as human as the rest of us! ❤️⁣
⁣
Warning: my first few days BOT are always lighter food days. I’m usually still feeling a bit overfull so I’m more light snacky. A few days in it always picks back up. These are not meal plans designed for you to follow. This is just what I’m doing and I’m being brutally honest while I do it. ⁣
⁣
Also, we have zero groceries, I’m having some delivered today since we are quarantined for two weeks post trip so today’s food should be more exciting than popcorn, Lentil Flatbread BLT’s, and leftover sweet potato crackers from trip. 🤣
3 1/2 years ago we flew to California to see if th 3 1/2 years ago we flew to California to see if the weather would help alleviate Aveys JRA. ⁣
⁣
Flying had always been an extremely uncomfortable experience for me. I was always too hot and I would have to hold myself very still so I didn’t rub the people beside me. My legs would spill under the armrests onto the other seats. I was always apologizing to those next to me because the seats were just too small. ⁣
⁣
There is a part of me that feels relieved now because my current body size is accommodated. I don’t have to squeeze myself through isles or wear the seatbelt on the largest setting, but I still carry frustration that plus sizes, though making up a large number of our populace, are not accommodated and experience embarrassment and shame while flying.⁣
⁣
So while this is a very real non-scale victory for me, I feel less joy and more motivation to continue to help push for inclusivity and comfort for all sizes. ❤️

I used to think that being smaller was impossible I used to think that being smaller was impossible for me.⁣
⁣
I used to blame my size on my bones, my upbringing, my DNA.⁣
⁣
Even when I wasn’t trying to lose weight, losing weight was always something in the back of mind looming over me. Like this big thing I needed to do but hadn’t checked off my to-do list yet.⁣
⁣
Sometimes it was all I could think about. ⁣
⁣
No one wanted to date me, even though I was a super cool, mega awesome chick. All of my friends had boyfriends and I literally only had boys that were friends. ⁣
⁣
I had back issues that my doctor wrote off as weight issues but they weren’t weight issues, they were actual issues caused by severe muscle separation. But my weight was always the answer.⁣
⁣
I found a different OB after I gave birth to Avey because she told me that if I wanted to have another baby with her I needed to lose at least 80 pounds before she’d take me as a patient again.⁣
⁣
I felt like my body betrayed me. ⁣
⁣
It betrayed me with disease, with miscarriages, still birth, emergency cesareans when I had planned for natural births, rashes, uncontrollable sweating, not fitting into a single piece of clothing at Target and irregular cycles... I could go on.⁣
⁣
It sounds sad when you put it all together like that but I wasn’t sad, well, sometimes I was sad— but it wasn’t part of my character. ⁣
⁣
I spent years trying to escape myself when what I really needed to do was befriend myself. Have enough respect for her to learn how to care for her— because I really didn’t know. And then have enough patience and trust in the new behaviors I was creating to stick with them, even when I wasn’t seeing change fast enough. ⁣
⁣
When I embarked on this health journey in 2017, it wasn’t for weight loss, that was just a happy accident. ⁣
⁣
I was in heavy pursuit of befriending my long neglected body. I knew that if I could find it within myself to care for her she’d have the tools to take care of me.⁣
⁣
And that is exactly what happened.
I love making plant based yogurts! They ferment di I love making plant based yogurts! They ferment differently than dairy based yogurts and need the help of gelatin and a refrigerator to reach true yogurt consistency.⁣
⁣
I have a recipe for Coconut Milk Yogurt on the website (instantloss.com) that is absolutely fabulous but buying canned coconut milk can get pricey. For Budget I developed a recipe using Oat Milk! It’s a tangy greek yogurt style yogurt— add berries, dried fruit, coconut flakes and a little bit of honey and you have an awesome treat! OR use it to make the gluten-free Everything Bagels! ⁣
⁣
Find Instant Loss on a Budget in stores now! ⁣

Tip: If after refrigeration your yogurt is too thick, simply add it back to the blender and blend it back down to desired thickness. ❤️ Can’t wait for you to try it!!
