Zero Belly Fat by Philadlephia Diet Doctors
Our medical weight loss program is a success because our appetite suppressant medications and weight loss pills help control your appetite hunger and cravings and we also provide you with delicious and simple meal plans and recipes.
There are many medical weight loss and diet doctors in Philadelphia but we believe that we provide all of our weight loss patients with unparalleled service, attention and even hand-holding.
Honestly any Medical weight Loss Physician can give you weight loss pills like Phentermine, Adipex and Bontril and even the newer diet medications like Belviq and Qsymia but without the proper guidance, without knowing what you should be eating for your body type and your metabolism type you will not be successful at losing weight and keeping it off permanently. That is why we put so much emphasis on educating our patients on what they should be eating and the type of exercises they should be doing in order to lose weight and keep it off for good.
The sad fact is there is too much wrong information out there on TV and the Internet. There are too many weight loss experts, gurus and even medical doctors on television giving information that is not totally true.
I see an example of this almost every day in the office. People come into the office and they are very proud of the fact that they are eating Greek yogurt, because a medical doctor on television told them that they should be eating Greek yogurt. However, most everyone is eating Greek yogurt that has tons of sugar in it and all of the extra sugar is going to make you fatter not skinnier.
Now the television Dr. should have said make sure that you are eating organic plain Greek yogurt with no added extra flavoring or sugars. So I don’t think that these people are intentionally misleading us, it’s just that they are not giving us totally detailed information.
That is why when you first visit with us we will spend time reviewing your medical history and finding a program that will be easier for you to follow and fits your lifestyle.
I spend a lot of time and put a lot of effort into keeping our patients educated. I am constantly adding recipes and reviews of new clinical weight loss research that’s being done to this website. And I try to put at least 3-5 new recipe videos on YouTube every week and also on our Google plus page.
So even after you have reached your target weight loss goals you can still come back to this website, our YouTube channel and even our Google plus page for delicious recipes and other information that will help you maintain your weight loss for the rest of your life.
So if you are trying to lose weight and if you are having a difficult time losing weight I invite you to call us and schedule a free consultation. Call us now at 215-821-7336 and schedule your free weight loss consultation.
There are a multitude of reasons why people gain weight are unable to lose it. Most of the time it’s not from a lack of effort on their part. When you come into our office; we will take the time to evaluate you and figure out why you are not losing weight and get you started on the right plan to achieve your weight loss goals.
If you’re finally ready to lose weight call us at 215-821-7336 and schedule your free medical weight loss consultation.
Now it’s time to get to the good part. Here are some delicious recipes that help our patients lose weight and fit into their skinny jeans again. I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do. Enjoy!

Chocolate Chip Strawberry Muffins*
This recipe makes 9 muffins. These muffins are very similar to the big products you can find in many high end coffee shops. They are deliciously chocolate , moist and studded with jewel like berries. You can also add 2 tbsp of good quality cocoa powder to the batter to create a double chocolate treat. Dark chocolate is actually very good for you because it contains antioxidants and is heart friendly.
Ingredients:
We will need coconut oil for greasing the muffin tin.
2 cups of almond flour
1/2 cup of mini dark chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
a pinch of sea salt
3 large eggs
1 quarter cup of maple syrup or honey
2 tablespoons of coconut oil melted
1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
1 cup of fresh strawberries trimmed and sliced
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Then lightly grease 9 muffin cups with coconut oil. Line the bottom of the cups with parchment paper and grease the parchment. In a large bowl stir together the almond flour, chocolate chips, baking soda and salt. In a small bowl whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, coconut oil, lemon juice and vanilla until well blended. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Fold the strawberries and spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffin comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let it cool on the rack for about 5 minutes in the muffin tin then turn out onto the rack let it cool and serve.
Chocolate Raspberry Donuts*
Ingredients:
Coconut oil for greasing the donut pans.
2 cups of find almond meal
1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa counter
2 teaspoons of coconut flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
a pinch of sea salt
4 large eggs
1/4 quarter cup of honey
1/4 cup of coconut oil
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
1 cup of fresh raspberries
1/3 cup of dark chocolate chips.
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a donut pan with coconut oil. In a large bowl stir together the almond meal, cocoa, coconut flour, baking soda and salt until well combined. Then in a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, honey, coconut oil and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to mix well. Carefully fold in the raspberries and chocolate chips. Spoon the batter into the donut pan and tap lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles. Bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes until firm. Let it cool before serving.
Banana Vanilla Pancakes*
Vanilla and banana go together splendidly in this recipe and using a vanilla bean creates very rich flavor. Vanilla beans contain some B complex vitamins and traces of many minerals such as calcium, potassium, iron and zinc. This means that the vanilla can help regulate the body’s metabolism and normalize heart rate and blood pressure.
Ingredients are as follows:
3 large eggs
2 large ripe bananas seeds from one vanilla bean
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons of coconut flour
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
a pinch of sea salt
coconut oil for greasing the skillet and fresh fruit for topping. Directions:
Place the eggs, bananas, vanilla seeds and vanilla extract in a food processor and pulse until very smooth. Then add the coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and pulse until smooth. Let this sit for about 10 minutes so the coconut flour can absorb the liquid.
Pulse again a few times. Place a large skillet over medium heat and brush with a bit of coconut oil.
When the skillet is hot add about one quarter cup of the batter and cook until bubbles appear on the top this should take about approximately 3 minutes.
Flip the pancake and cook until browned on the second side and cooked through. Repeat this process until all the batter is used. You can serve just topped with fresh fruit.

Recipes to Burn Fat and Look Great by Medical Weight Loss Philadelphia
Hello everyone Dr. Kenny here, if you are one of our medical weight loss patients you know that my mantra is “Losing Weight Should be Simple, Easy, Delicious and Fun. So with that being said here are a few more weight loss recipes that are definitely delicious and should help you achieve your weight loss goals of losing 2 – 5 pounds per week.
In my recent post of recipes on our website I have been giving you lots of weight loss recipes for weight loss smoothies and shakes in addition to regular appetizers, entrées, desserts and even snacks. The reason I have been posting so many smoothie recipes is because the majority of our patients are asking for quick and easy weight loss smoothie recipes because they do not have enough time for a regular breakfast first thing in the morning.
It just seems that everyone is always in a rush nowadays and there is never enough time to take care of yourself.
Most of the men I know are literally working 24/7 and most of the females that I know are also working 24/7 in addition to taking care of their children, getting them ready for school in the morning and then they head out to work or to take care of whatever responsibilities they have to attend to for the day.
So to me it seems that females have an even more difficult time taking care of themselves as compared to men. Now if you are man please do not be upset with me for saying this. I am a man, so this gives me the privilege to make such an observation. Honestly though, this is how it is in my house.
I do try to help with household chores and with the children but the majority of my time is spent in the office taking care of our wonderful patients. While my wife is taking care of the children, getting our youngest off to school in the morning and giving him a good healthy breakfast (because we know that young minds need good healthy food to fuel both their bodies and their brains to do well in school); in addition to this she also takes care of our three dogs and her parents. Not only does she do all of this but she also manages our offices and actually answers the phone and schedules the majority of appointments in our office. So when you call the office and if Elyse answers the phone you now know that she is my wife.
My wife is an amazing woman and she gave up her career in Pharmacy in order to stay at home and raise our three children and help us build our wonderful practice. So with all of this being said I know that women have a multitude of responsibilities and are not always capable of spending the time to take care of themselves. And that is why our weight loss program is designed to be simple, easy, delicious and fun and does not require you to exercise a multitude of hours each and every week.
Sorry! Sometimes I have a tendency to run on a bit LOL. But I am just very appreciative for the woman in my life and all the other woman in the world who are usually the backbone of their family and as such society.
Now! Here are the delicious weight loss recipes.
This is going to be a smoothie that is designed primarily for burning fat.
Nut-berry Fat Burning Weight Loss Smoothie
- 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries.
- 1 small apple, remove the core.
- 1 hand full of kale.
- 4 – 6 ounces of unsweetened almond milk, hazelnut milk or any other type of nondairy milk.
- 1 tablespoon of flax seeds.
- 1 – 2 packets of Stevia.
- If you are not using frozen blueberries you may want to add 1/2 – 1 cup of ice to make it nice and frosty and refreshing.
Now we just combine all of the ingredients into a blender and blend until it’s nice and smooth.
The Burn Fat and Look Great Smoothie:
- 2 handfuls of kale.
- 2 cups of cooled brewed green tea or any other type of tea.
- The juice of 1 lemon.
- 1/2 avocado that is peeled and pitted.
- ½ of pink grapefruit that is peeled and seeded.
- 1/4 cup of pitted dates –
- Or instead of the dates you could use 1 scoop of our Solutions4 protein powder that is totally sugar-free and packs the right amount of protein to get your body fat burning.
- 1 tablespoon of flax seeds.
- 4 – 6 ounces of unsweetened almond milk, hazelnut milk or any other type of nondairy milk.
Combine all of the ingredients into a blender and blend until it is nice and smooth.This recipe is taken from the book “The 10 Day Green Smoothie Cleanse” That is written by Jennifer Smith , However I did modify the recipe by adding flax seeds and substituting our protein powder in place of the pitted dates.
I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do.

Thank you and have a fantastic day!

3 Weight Loss Recipes to Satisfy the Biggest Appetite by Medical Weight Loss Philadelphia
If you are one of our medical weight loss patients you know that I am always trying new recipes that will make losing weight delicious, simple easy and fun. And if I may say so myself I have done a fantastic job in finding and experimenting with these 3 recipes. My favorite is the smoothie recipe because not only is this delicious but it totally satisfied my hunger. So in our efforts to have our weight loss patients lose 2 – 5 pounds a week here are the recipes:
Dr. Kenny’s Ultimate Weight Loss Smoothie: I just made this for breakfast this morning and it is one of the best tasting smoothies that I have ever had.
Ingredients:
- 2 ounces of any non-dairy milk product like unsweetened almond milk – hazelnut or coconut milk.
- 2 ounces of heavy cream.
- 1 scoop of our Solutions-4 protein powder that is sugar-free and is very low in carbohydrates.
- 1 tablespoon of either almonds butter or melted coconut oil.
- 1 handful of kale.
- 2 tablespoons of flaxseeds.
- 1/4 cup of blueberries – optional. The blueberries are optional. I made the smoothie for my wife with blueberries because she likes things to be sweet tasting. But I made mine without the blueberries because I am trying to keep my blood sugar levels as low as possible.
- Combine all of the ingredients into a blender and blend until nice and smooth.
- This is a fantastic recipe because it gives you good healthy protein, good healthy omega-3 fats and a nice dose of healthy nutrients and antioxidants from the kale and blueberries.
Egg Drop Soup*
Ingredients:
- 6 cups of low-sodium chicken broth
- 4 teaspoons of reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 clove of garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground white pepper
- 2 medium carrots
- 1/2 cup frozen baby peas
- 8 teaspoons cornstarch
- 4 eggs
- 2 green onions sliced
Instructions:
In a large saucepan combine 5 cups of the broth, the soy sauce, garlic and pepper. Bring them to a boil. Thinly slice the carrots and add them to the broth. Add the peas to the broth and return to boiling. Stirring the cornstarch into the remaining 1 cup of broth, stir into soup. Reduce the heat and cook and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly, cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat. Place eggs in a liquid measuring, and use a fork to beat the eggs. While gently stirring the broth, pour the eggs in a thin stream into the soup. The eggs will perform fine shreds.
This is a delicious low carbohydrate recipe that gives you plenty of good healthy protein and healthy fat. In order to keep my body weight down and also to keep my blood sugar levels down I eat this at least once a day. And I actually prefer it better with out the baby peas and carrots. But that is just my personal taste; my children actually enjoy it with the carrots and baby peas. So that’s all up to your personal taste. Again this is an awesome recipe if you are trying to lose weight because it gives you a good amount of protein and good omega-3 fats. I hope you enjoy this recipe is much as I do. *This recipe was taken from the “ultimate diabetes cookbook” and this is a better homes and Gardens book.

Perfect Quick & Easy Breakfast to Lose Weight by Weight Loss Philadelphia
Part of the reason why most patients in our medical weight loss program in Philadelphia and Bucks County are losing 2-5 5 pounds a week is because we are always trying to give them delicious recipes that taste wonderful and also facilitate weight loss. I would say probably 90% of the patients always tell us that they usually skip breakfast or they wind up having a bagel or jelly donut with a couple cups of coffee for breakfast. That old cliché that breakfast is the most important meal of the day is totally true. But even more true is the fact that the quality of the food that you eat for breakfast is the most important thing.
But everyone complains that they don’t have time to make a good quality fat burning breakfast first thing in the morning. But now I am happy to tell everyone that we have the perfect solution for this problem.
We have found a really tasty and super quality meal replacement shake. This shake would make an excellent breakfast that will give you tons of vital nutrients and enough protein in order to put your body into fat burning mode for the day. It comes in a variety of flavors like chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and even cream-sickle. Personally my favorite is the chocolate and also happens to be my wife’s favorite as well.
We’ve tried a multitude of different meal replacement shakes throughout the years and my wife told me that each and every one of them taste like cardboard. I am happy to say that this shake gets the approval from my wife because she thinks that it taste really good.
So if you are someone who usually skips breakfast because you don’t have enough time to make it, this is an excellent alternative for you.
The shake is ‘Soutions4’ and is only available from medical weight loss centers. It is made from quality products and just 2 scoops of this shake mixed with water will give you 20 grams of protein and only 180 calories and it is totally sugar free. It’s packed with vitamins A, B1, B2, B5, B6, B12, C, D, E, Biotin, calcium citrate, chromium, folic acid, magnesium and potassium. It will also give you a good healthy dose of important amino acids that are necessary in order to facilitate your body’s natural fat burning process.
The most amazing thing is that this shake gives you 20 grams of protein is totally sugar free and 2 scoops mixed with water is only 180 calories.
Not only is this shake awesome for breakfast but it also makes a great lunch as well.
In fact, lots of our patients are trying to lose weight a bit more quickly than usual because they are getting married or they have a class reunion or special function and in order to lose their weight quickly they will have a shake for breakfast and a shake for lunch and then for dinner they will have a good healthy meal. They may even have 1 or 2 snacks a day.
So if you are just looking for a quick healthy fat burning breakfast this shake is for you. And if you are looking to lose weight a bit more quickly you could have the shake for both breakfast and luch.
So in my opinion this is the greatest meal replacement / protein shake out there on the market today. And again this isn’t something that you can get in a vitamin shop or the nutrition store because it’s only available in medical weight loss centers.
If you do not want to lose too much weight too quickly you can always add half a banana or a half cup strawberries or blueberries to the shake.
Throughout this website and in our YouTube channel you could use this meal replacement shake in every place that I have noted to use protein powder. And you can also use the shake for an awesome recovery drink after your workouts and exercise sessions.
