Instant Loss - Conveniently Cook Your Way To Weight Loss

Encouragement. Motivation. Delicious Recipes.

Can I Eat This?

I didn’t just wake up one day, a walking ingredient dictionary, with intuitive knowledge on the best way to eat for my body. 

Label reading takes practice, research, and a willingness to learn new things. It’s a skill that you develop, that can be quite overwhelming at first.

Can I eat this? Label Reading Woes instantloss.com

When I made the choice to simplify our lives by just eating real food, labels often times complicated things.

Originally I decided to look for three ingredients when label reading ; corn syrup of any kind, enriched flours, and canola and vegetable oils. 

If it had those things, I’d opt for something else. 

Corn Syrup/High Fructose Corn Syrup:

A fructose liquid sweetener alternative to sugar linked to diabetes and heart disease. The body metabolizes fructose differently than glucose and consuming too much fructose can lead to health problems such as; fatty liver disease, diabetes, weight gain, and exasperating inflammatory disease, IE auto immune disease. 

Enriched flours:

In the US flour is bleached, using food additives like, chlorine, bromates, and peroxides which have been banned in Europe and other countries for the high probability that they cause cancer and were never really intended for digestion in the first place. 

Because bleaching strips the grain of so much nutrient density, enriching or fortifying, is an attempt that food manufacturers make to add it back in. 

Because my family has the MTHFR gene mutation steering clear of enriched foods is extremely important. To read more, click here!

Canola and Vegetable oil:

Scientists created the canola plant in the 1970’s in a response to the FDA’s ban on rapeseed oil, it was linked to heart muscle damage and deemed unsuitable for human consumption.

The manufacturer hired a team to crossbreed plants, and LEAR low-erucic-acid rapeseed oil, now canola, was born. 

Production grew exponentially and round up-ready canola plants were developed. They were bioengineered to tolerate glyphosate, the active ingredient in weed killer. 

These plants go through an extremely taxing process called hexane solvent extraction. It damages the oil, creating higher levels of oxidation and trans fat.

Diving into the deep deep world of label reading is as overwhelming as you allow it to be. 

Knowledge is power but it can also feel constricting. Instead of focusing on all the things I didn’t want to consume I focused on all of the things I did.

I continued to research ingredients in my spare time and my list of things to avoid has expanded. But so has the list of the things I consume now! 

Its important to make informed decisions but it’s also important to enjoy your life. I avoid certain ingredients when I can in order to contribute to my bodies overall well being.

I also continue to consume all of those things mentioned above on occasion. None of this is all or nothing. 

Adjust as you see fit.

It’s not a diet. 

It’s an educated, intuitive approach to food and wellness.

    I understand Canola oil, but why not vegetable oil? Or is it just another name for canola oil? Aren’t they sold as two different products? Also, instead if an “Oil” is used what kind do you look for?

      Vegetable oil is usually made from soy which I star clear of too. Better oils are avocado, coconut and olive.

        My sons were allergic to cow’s milk and started on soy milk and rice milk. My husband likes cow’s milk and I switched back to soy milk as an alternative to cows milk. What kind of milk is best for everyday consumption, with cereal or oatmeal?

    We have been trying to eat healthy and not use processed foods but it’s hard. The men in the house need to lose weight as well as me. When I tried to find recipes to use they still called for processed items. My youngest daughter loves your Instant Loss Eat real, lose weight cookbook and bought me one for Mother’s Day.. She tagged her favorites for me to try first. Her husband said they were good. When it shows servings are those based on specific portions? Thank you for sharing your sharing your story and recipes.

      Hi Delphine, Thank you so much for reaching out! I am so excited that you received my second cookbook and that your family has given my recipes such high recommendations. Once cooked, you just divide the recipes by that many people (example 4) and is the specific portion sizes. Hope that helps!

I have literally been praying for someone to come into my life that could teach me or just help! I truly believe that you’re that person.

Your group has come at such a good time for me. I just want to say thanks! I might not have lost any weight (yet) but you ‘live’ in our house. Mini muffins, lentil chili, those almond strawberry cookies… When my husband tells me how delicious these new recipes are the response is always, “Britt’s recipe!” I talk about you like we just went out for coffee Hahaha. I appreciate all the work you’re putting into your website and the fb group. I feel better about myself just being a part of it.

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! ⁣
