Brittany Williams lost 125 pounds cooking with an instant pot — So she wrote a cookbook

When you first see someones crazy weight-loss transformation, your initial thought is probably,

"In January 2017, I dedicated myself to making and eating meals at home for the entire year," Brittany says, adding that she chose to focus on meals cooked in the Instant Pot because it made her life easier by making healthy meals fast.

There are no gimmicks to the Instant Loss Cookbook, either. "There's no counting calories or macros or points, none of those things ever worked for me longterm," she says. Instead, "it's a book about listening to your body, eating real food from the earth, and making yourself a priority."

The cookbook: Instant Loss Cookbook: Cook Your Way to a Healthy Weight with 125 Recipes for Your Instant Pot®, Pressure Cooker, and More (Harmony Books), out now.

The author: Brittany Williams lost 125 pounds cooking these recipes, made and formulated from scratch, in her Instant Pot.

What you'll get: Recipes-125, to be exact-most of which are dairy- and grain-free (her preference). "It's the book I would have wanted to read if I could go back and hand myself a tool when I had 125 pounds to lose," she says. Brittany's book also discusses how to read nutrition labels, how she made over her kitchen pantry, and how she dealt with her own battle with food addiction.
