If you’re one of our weight loss patients you already know that this past year I’ve lost over 80 pounds. I dropped from 247 pounds all the way down to 165 and have kept it off.  You also know that when I was 247 pounds I was diagnosed with diabetes and this pretty much forced me to lose weight and get my health under control.  Sadly, my family genetics predisposes me to things like diabetes, high blood pressure and even high cholesterol.

And Gino is my first cousin and suffice to say he has the same wonderful genetics that I do and was recently diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure; in addition to his being significantly overweight. So being the wonderful husband that his is; Gino listened to his wife Maria and came to see me in the office a couple weeks ago for a weight loss consultation.  During the consultation we reviewed his medical history, his eating habits, etc… We decided that he was a good candidate for our weight loss program and gave him a detailed program on exactly what he should be eating and what foods that he should stay away from. Because of a bad back and other health conditions Gino cannot exercise so we agreed that he would really focus on what he ate and not do any intense type of exercise at this time.

So just by following the diet plan that I gave him Gino has lost 11 pounds in 9 days. Suffice to say both he and his wife are extremely happy and Maria is bringing in her Father to so we can help him lose weight and hopefully improve his high blood pressure and diabetes.

The great thing about our weight loss programs is that the weight loss pills and appetite suppressant medications really help control your appetite and cravings so you will be able to follow the food plan without being hungry all of the time.

And we give you lots of great recipes for real food that tastes good and will help you achieve your weight loss goals.

  • Balsamic vinegar  – 2 tablespoons
  • 1 teaspoon of dried Italian seasoning
  • 8 cups of a Mediterranean blend salad greens
  • Parmesan cheese – ¼ cup grated

Let’s begin by preheating our oven to 375°F  and coat a shallow roasting pan with either olive oil or in olive oil cooking spray. Place your chickens with the skin side up in half of the roasting plan and any other half of the pan arrange the carrots and onion wedges and roast this uncovered for approximately 25 minutes. Then remove the roasting pan from the oven add the zucchini, mushrooms, sweet peppers to the carrots and onions and drizzle the vegetables in the chicken with 2 tablespoons of the oil and sprinkle with the salt and black pepper. Then roast this uncovered for approximately 25 minutes or more until the chicken is cooked thoroughly. When it’s done cooking remove this and set it on the side until was cool enough to handle and move the vegetables to a very large bowl. Remove the chicken skin and throw it away and remove the bones as well. Pull the chicken part and and the chicken and whatever juices are left in the pan to the vegetables and mixed us altogether. In a small bowl whisk together the vinegar, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the Italian seasonings and add this to the chicken mixture and blend everything nicely. When you are ready to serve this place the salad greens on a serving plates and spoon out the chicken mixture over the greens and then sprinkle this generally with the Parmesan cheese.  This makes approximately 6 servings each with about 10 g of carbohydrates.

London Broil Extravaganza*

This is an awesome recipe and it’s one of my favorites. I totally love London broil.

  • 1 pound of London broil
  • 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
  • 4 teaspoons of crushed rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 cup of sliced onions
  • 1 pound of asparagus cut into pieces
  • 1 pound of sliced  mushrooms
  • ⅛ teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon zest

This part is very important and make sure that you score both sides of your London broil. You want to do this diagonally making sure that you are cutting out a diamond pattern.  You want to make sure that you’re going fairly deep because you want all of the spices to go deep into the beef. Now let’s get started by rubbing half of the garlic and 2 tablespoons of the rosemary into both sides of your meat. Heat a tablespoon of the oil in a skillet, you should probably use a medium heat and add the steak and cook it. Usually it takes about 4 minutes per side for a medium rare temperature but I do suggest that you cook it a bit longer then to medium rare temperature. Because of various health issues it’s always best to each your meat more cooked and not undercooked. When your London broil is thoroughly cooked you want to put it in a plate and cover this with foil to make sure that it stays nice and warm. Then you want to add the oil that’s left over to the skillet and put in your onion and cook this stirring it making sure that it’s sautéed nicely, you should do this I would say for approximately 2 minutes. Next add the remaining garlic and cook this for approximately 35 – 40 seconds and then add your mushrooms and asparagus, continuously stirring it until the asparagus is cooked until it’s tender and crisp. It usually takes about 5 minutes or so. Then start in your rosemary that’s left over, your black pepper and lemon zest. Finally you get to cut the steak into slices, I prefer thin slices and serve the London broil with the vegetables. This is a wonderful recipe. When my children are home from school my wife makes this at least twice a week. It’s one of my children’s favorites. This makes 4 servings and each serving is approximately 360 calories.

Yummy Stew*

Here is a really good recipe that’s super simple to make and it’s actually quite a hit with lots of our college students that are trying to lose weight while going through the stress and strains of college life.

  • 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
  • 1 pound of beef round steak – cubed
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 cup of sliced carrots
  • 3 medium potatoes – cubed
  • 2 cups of cubed zucchini
  • ½ cup of chopped onions
  • 1 cup of low-sodium beef broth
  • ½ cup of water
  • 2 cups of no salt added tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons of Stevia
  • 1 tablespoon of worcestershire sauce
  • 1 ½ teaspoon of instant coffee
  • 1 tablespoon of vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon of ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon of ground ginger

This recipe is so easy it’s ridiculous. First we’re going to place the flour in a plastic bag and add the beef and shake it up to coat the beef. Then brown the beef on all sides in a skillet. Put the carrots, potatoes, zucchini and onion in a slow cooker and topped this with the beef. Mix together all of the remaining ingredients and pour over top meat in the vegetables. Cover your slow cooker and let this cook on low for 8 – 10 hours or if you send it on high it should probably cook for approximately 4 – 5 hours. This makes 6 servings each with the just under 400 calories.

When it’s time for dessert top each serving of the moose with a little of the leftover whipped topping and about 1.5 teaspoons of the toasted almond meal and enjoy. This makes approximately 4 servings each with about 4 g of carbohydrates.
