Hello everyone this is Dr. Kenny. In our weight loss program we like our weight loss patients to eat delicious food that will make you lose weight. So in this article I am going to give you several of my favorite chicken recipes. Throughout our website I have many recipes for weight-loss shakes, smoothies, desserts, appetizers and entrées and when it comes to entrées it seems that chicken is the favorite of most of my patients.

Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and dot them with the same amount of butter. Roast in the oven for ones and a half hours, turning each piece every 20 – 30 minutes. When the chicken is done, put it on a platter and pour off the fat from the pan. Put the pan over medium heat and pour in the white wine and Bell sonic vinegar.

If you’re using cut up chicken, put it in a large resealable plastic bag, pour the marinade over it and seal the bag. Let the chicken marinate for at least an hour or as long as a day. At least one hour before you want to serve the chicken, pull it out of the bag. You can either grill your chicken or you can roasted in a 375°F oven for about one hour, which ever way you choose to cook your chicken, cook it until the juices run clear when it’s pierced to the bone.

Pour off most of the fat and sprinkle the chicken with the salt and just a dash of pepper. Scatter the tarragon over the chicken, crushing a little between your fingers to release the flavor, and then add the garlic and the wine. Cover the skillet, turn the heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes, turning the chicken at least once. Spoon a little of the pan liquid over each piece of chicken one serving.

Cover the whole thing, turn the heat to its lowest setting and forget about it for about 45 minutes – 60 minutes. When the chicken is cooked through, remove the pieces from the skillet and put them on the serving plates. If the sauce is in good and sick by now turn up the heat to medium – hi and let the sauce boil down for a few minutes.

Confessions of a Medical Weight Loss Diet Doctor
Good morning everyone, this is Dr. Kenny. Usually most of my post on our website are happy, upbeat and are usually about healthy and delicious recipes, how to lose 2-5 lbs a week, weight loss exercise routines and information on some of the newest research on the weight loss, health and wellness.
But today this post is going to be more personal. If you are one of our patients you know that Dr. Duffield, myself and our staff are very friendly and personable. And in fact many of you know just as much about us as we know about you. And this is the way we like it.
Everyone knows that Dr. Duffield’s son is doing research at Drexel medical school, his daughter is in college and wants to be a teacher and that his younger son is a hockey superstar.
And that my older son and daughter are both in law school and my youngest son is a senior in high school and is trying to decide between attending Penn State University, Maryland University or Boston University.
In our weight loss practice we think of everyone as part of our family and this creates a warm and nurturing environment. This type of environment is not only beneficial to you our patients but it’s also beneficial to us. Each and every day we have the opportunity to assist people to not only lose weight but to help them improve their overall health.
It is extremely gratifying to help a person lose 30 pounds and have them tell us that they have never felt better in their life, that they are taking less medications and conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and hyperthyroid are improving.
Now with all of this being said I am going to tell you that at the young age of almost 51 years young I have been diagnosed with type II diabetes. It seems that genetically the cards were stacked against me. My Mother has diabetes.
As good as my diet has been it has not been perfect. And because of slacking in my diet and my genetic predisposition, I am now diabetic.
But there is a silver lining in this cloud. With following the proper diet and taking one tablet of metformin a day my blood sugar level has decreased over 150 points in just 1 week. And I have lost 7 pounds. Surprisingly even my complexion has improved and people are telling me that I look younger.
So being diagnosed with type II diabetes was probably a blessing in disguise. It was a wake-up call that I had to start making the time to take care of myself.
To exercise a little bit almost every day even if it is just a quick walk and to start following the proper nutrition and diet program.
You see for the most part I was following a pretty good diet although I confess that I probably did over indulge in my breads, pastas, rice, beans and of course pizza.
I knew that I was a good 15 pounds overweight but I figured that I am almost 51 years young so I convinced myself to be comfortable with the way I looked and the way I was feeling.
Even though I was not feeling my best. I just convinced myself that this is the way 51-year-olds should feel, and that I was getting older. Sadly I just accepted all of this and really did not put forth any extra effort to eat 100% right and get more exercise.
So being diagnosed with diabetes was indeed a blessing. It was a punch right on the chin that knocked me out. But to quote a phrase from the last Rocky Balboa movie “It’s how many times you get up after you have been knocked down that makes you a champion, that makes you a winner.”
I have decided to get up from the diabetic knockout punch. I have decided to follow the proper diet to reduce the sugar levels in my blood, the proper diet that will decrease insulin spikes in my blood and the proper diet that will help me lose weight and be not only more thin but more importantly, healthier.
It’s surprising that this diagnosis came a week before I was a guest on a local radio show, “Did You Know” with Bryant Greene on 900 AM, and one of Mr. Greene’s questions was, “Does diabetes decrease your life span?”
Shockingly diabetes does decrease your lifespan by as much as 8.5 years. This is because diabetes can cause other health issues like high blood pressure, stroke, neuropathies, heart attacks and even blindness.
So many people called into the radio show with questions on diabetes. Questions like, “What is the best type of diet for a diabetic and what is the best type of exercise program if you are diabetic? “
It totally amazes me that there is so much bad information out there on diabetes. Even information that is on some of the websites of supposed authority organizations is wrong.
This is why diabetes is killing people. This is why people are having to take increasing dosages of medications and insulin injections for their entire life.
Now, please do not misunderstand me, medication is needed especially when you are first diagnosed with diabetes. Medication is not a bad thing.
But you are doing a disservice to yourself if you are not going to make an effort to follow the proper nutritional plan to help decrease your sugar levels and get your diabetes under control.
When I was first diagnosed, my doctor told me that I would probably need to be on 2 or 3 medications and eventually insulin injections. But now he is not so sure about that. He’s totally amazed how quickly my sugar levels have decreased with taking just one medication and following my anti-diabetic nutrition plan.
My anti-diabetic nutrition plan is strict, but it is effective, for not only myself, but also for other patients that have consulted with us.
I know that this has been a very long article and I do apologize for its length. I have written this in the hopes of helping others who suffer from diabetes and just don’t know what to do about it.
It’s very surprising that following the proper nutrition plan can help with health conditions and diseases like diabetes, hypothyroidism, high blood pressure etc.
If a friend, family member and/or loved one suffer from any of these conditions please have them read this article and I do hope it inspires them to take their health into their own hands.

Why Aren’t I Losing Weight & What To Do About It
difficult weight loss made easy
If you have tried every diet and exercise program and still can’t lose weight it’s not your fault. Yes, I said it’s not your fault. Want to know why?
If you want to know why you are not losing weight read this article and if you have any questions call us at 215-821-7336
In our weight loss center we see patients that need to lose anywhere from 20 pounds to over 100 pounds. For the majority of our patients losing weight is fast and easy if they follow our program. We also have just as many patients that have had a difficult time losing weight in the past. And it’s not from a lack of effort that they are not losing weight. But it is because a large part of our society are having difficult time losing weight because of other health conditions like diabetes and hypothyroidism and also from medications that they may be taking.
Some of the health problems that make it almost impossible for people to lose weight are: diabetes, hypothyroidism, having and suffering from chronic stress, polycystic ovary syndrome, Cushing’s syndrome, syndrome X, depression and especially the hormone changes that woman have to deal with during pregnancy and when they are peri-menopausal and in the menopause.
There are also a multitude of medications that make it very difficult for people to lose weight. Medications that can make it very difficult to lose weight are some of the most common medications that people take for treating type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, some heart conditions, hormone replacement therapy, birth control pills, corticosteroids taken for conditions like asthma and lupus, antiepileptic medications taken to control seizures and even medications that are used to treat depression. (But you must not ever stop any medications unless your medical doctor tells you to.)
It is well known that some of the drugs used for taking depression may increase your appetite even lower your fat burning metabolism. Beta blockers can also decrease your metabolism and some hormone replacement therapies increases the body’s level of estrogen which is a fat storing hormone.
So because of this you could be following the latest fad diet and exercising eight hours a day but will never be able to lose the weight. But to not give up hope. We have diet weight loss nutritional plan designed specifically to help these difficult weight loss conditions.
You see we have weight loss programs designed specifically for people who have diabetes, hypothyroidism, polycystic ovarian syndrome and even women going through menopause. And let’s not forget our programs for ladies who are having a difficult time losing weight after the birth of their child.
Each of these situations or conditions have a very specific nutritional plan. And the majority of people following these plans do lose weight and achieve their weight loss goals. Most not only lose weight but they also have an increase in energy and sleep better.
So if you are having a difficult time losing weight in achieving your goals give us a call for free consultation with us. Call us at 215-821-7336 and Elyse or Jackie would be glad to schedule your appointment for free consultation.

Best Ever Weight Loss Smoothie by Medical Weight Loss
Best ever weight loss smoothie recipe for burning fat, eliminating hunger and speeding up your metabolism and muscle recovery. Good morning everyone this is Dr. Kenny and in this article for today I and going to give you the recipe for my most favorite weight loss smoothie ever. In our medical weight loss program each and every day at least one patient will ask what are my favorite recipes that will give them fast weight loss but they taste good and do not taste like cardboard.
All of us know that in almost every other weight loss program diet food has no taste and if it does have any taste at all it usually taste like cardboard. But if you have looked through our website at all you already know that we have tons of delicious weight loss recipes throughout our site as part of our medical weight loss program. But today Lisa who was one of our superstar weight loss patients really pushed me to give her my most favorite recipe for a weight loss smoothie.
So here is the recipe I call it our Best Ever Weight Loss Smoothie and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Ingredients:
- 1 banana, peeled
- 1 grapefruit, peeled and remove seeds
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 plum, pitted
- 1/4 cup water
We are going to combine all of these ingredients into a blender and enjoy.
Grapefruit has been in diet food forever. When I was a young boy I remember my Mother eating grapefruit each and every day as part of her weight watchers weight loss program. Grapefruit has a combination of vitamin C and lots of fiber that not only help you burn fat but they keep you full throughout the day. And the banana, plum and spinach have plenty of potassium and other minerals that will actually help your muscles recuperate after a strenuous exercise routine. And let’s not forget that this smoothie is absolutely delicious and that the fruity taste makes this a perfect recipe for breakfast and even for a snack any time during the day.
The only thing I would avoid is having this later on in the evening because it contains so much fruit it does contain a good bit of sugar and I would like you to try to have this smoothie no later than 4 PM or 5 PM. That way your body will have enough time to burn off the sugar before you go to sleep at night.
This weight loss smoothie is especially good after an intense cardiovascular exercise routine. The potassium of vitamins and minerals will help your muscles recover much more quickly and the fruit will actually give you a burst of energy so that you will not feel as fatigued as you normally would after this type of exercise routine.
If you enjoy this recipe please take a look at the other recipes that I have in our website. The majority of them are low carbohydrate, low sugar and are conducive to losing weight and being healthy.
If you are having difficulty losing weight or have hit a plateau or would just like to discuss your weight loss plan with a health care professional give us a call at 215-821-7336.
Have a fantastic day.
Eggplant Parmigiana Low Carb Recipe by Medical Weight Loss Philadelphia
eggplant parmigianna low carb recipe medical weight loss philadelphiahttp://wakeupskinny.yroc.pro
Yes! Our Patients in our Philadelphia Medical weight loss program can eat Eggplant Parmigiana and still lose weight. This why our patients tell us we are the best medical weight loss program in Philadelphia and Bucks County, PA. Because you can eat delicious food that is normally not considered diet food and still lose weight. My wife took my Great-Grandmother Virginia’s eggplant parm recipe and made it low carb. And I have to say it tastes better than my Great-Grandmother’s.
So If you miss eggplant parmigiana – well, now you can eat it again. This is not a quick-to-fix meal, but if you can find the time to do it, you will be rewarded. You can serve it with my wife’s Superb Rolls or Intense Garlic Bread Surprise..
Eggplant Parmigiana has only Carbs per serving 9.5 grams of carb. Should serve 6.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium-size eggplants, peeled (about 18 ounces)
- 4 ounces shredded whole-milk mozzarella cheese
- 5 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 ounces shredded Swiss cheese (or very thinly sliced)
- 6 Tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 ½ cups dry white wine
- ½ cup water
- salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 eggs, beaten
- ¾ cup bread crumbs
- ½ Teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup olive oil or coconut oil (more if needed)
- 4 Tablespoons butter (1/2 stick), (optional)
Butter or oil a 2-quart baking pan or ovenproof casserole dish. Cut the eggplant into ½-inch-thick slices. (Read about eggplant on page 220.) Set out the cheeses and have ready. Mix the tomato paste with the wine and water; stir into a smooth sauce (you can do this in the blender). Season with salt and pepper.
Set out two shallow bowls for the beaten eggs and the bread crumbs. Mix the crumbs with garlic powder and salt. Dip each slice of eggplant first in the eggs, then in the bread crumbs. Coat well. Put the coated slices on a platter.
Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Heat the olive oil. Cook the eggplant slices in the hot oil until golden brown on each side. Do not crowd the slices; you need to be able to turn them. Preheat oven to 350ºF when you are about halfway through cooking the eggplant. Drain eggplant on paper towels. Transfer the cooked slices to a holding plate until all slices are cooked. Note that these bread crumbs tend to darken faster than standard bread crumbs. Reduce heat if needed to keep the slices light golden in color.
Build the eggplant parmigiana. Put a layer of eggplant (about half) in the bottom of the casserole dish. Sprinkle about half of each of the three cheeses over the eggplant slices, but reserve some Parmesan cheese (to taste) for topping the finished casserole. Pour about half of the sauce over the cheeses. Add the next layer of eggplant slices and repeat the process. Pour the rest of the sauce on top. Sprinkle the casserole with bread crumbs and 1 ounce Parmesan cheese. Dot with butter. Bake the casserole, uncovered, for about 30 to 35 minutes or until light golden brown.
This this is so delicious and it brings back memories of when I was a young boy enjoying a Sunday dinner with my entire family from my Mom and Dad, Brother and Sister, all of my cousins, Aunts Uncles and Grand parent and Great-Grand parents too.
So hopefully this will become a favorite of your family. And don;t forget the red and white checkered table cloth lol.
