Hey Instant Pot family,

Did you know that September is the most underrated time of the year to lose weight? According to data from the weight-loss app Lose It!, there’s no time like back-to-school time. 

The company looked at the average monthly weight loss of its users, and while the first few months of the year unsurprisingly take the gold for the most weight lost (lookin’ at you, New Year’s resolutioners), the loss also picks up again in September, after summer slowdown and before the holidays.

Our conclusion? September might be the new, um, New Year’s. Think about it: Your weight loss might have slowed (or stopped) over the summer with the season’s social expectations—BBQs, weddings, vacations, etc.

Plus, just like with the new year, September offers somewhat of that “fresh start” mentality. “After a fun, busy summer, the fall offers that back-to-school feeling, even for adults,” says Keri Gans, R.D., author of The Small Change Diet. “You can use this time to get back on track for things that fell by the wayside during the summer, like your meal prep or your workouts.” 

And so with this in mind, we have prepared a newsletter filled with healthy eating content. We've Whole30 recipes (September Whole30 is very popular), keto and low-carb recipes, vegan-friendly meals, and Mediterranean Diet inspiration. Whatever way you choose to get healthy, we've got you covered.

Wishing you another fab weekend,
IPE team
