So today I’m going to give you a really fantastic recipe for a low-carb spinach dip. It’s quick and easy to make and you can whip it up before you are heading out to a social gathering and you have something that you can enjoy while you are enjoying time with family and friends. Without having the stress over not following your nutritional diet plan.
Spinach Dip*
- Ingredients for the Dip:
- roasted garlic – one head
- frozen chopped spinach – a 10 ounce package – make sure it is drained and thawed
- chopped green onions – 1/2 cup
- cream cheese or sour cream – 1 cup
- mayonnaise – 1 cup
- chopped fresh thyme – 1 teaspoon
- fish sauce – 1 teaspoon
- Sea salt – 1/2 teaspoon
- smoked paprika – 1/4 teaspoon
- cayenne pepper – just a pinch
Let’s start by squishing the roasted garlic from the head and to either your food processor or even a blender. After that add the sour cream or cream cheese (whichever one you have chosen to use), spinach, thye, salt, paprika, spinach, mayonnaise and fish sauce. I would recommend that you take a small taste of this mixture while you are making it so that you could add more ingredients if necessary. Now, you can use this as a great addition to any meal, party event, watching football on Sunday and even watching the 76ers as they evolve into a major powerhouse. If you like you can search our website and find the recipe for the low-carb breads that we have listed here and you can use this for your dip.

The Best Weight Loss Diet Doctors Program in Philadelphia and Bucks County
Ever since we started our weight loss programs in Philadelphia and Bucks County it is always been my goal to be the best weight-loss program in Philadelphia and Bucks County.
And we strive to do this by giving you the best quality FDA approved medical weight loss pills and appetite suppressant medications combined with lots of individualized attention.
Any doctor can give you diet, pills but taking diet pills alone does not guarantee that you are going to be able to lose weight and successfully keep the weight off.
That is why we differentiate ourselves from the rest of the medical weight loss centers by spending a tremendous amount of time educating our weight loss patients on the proper nutrition plan that is best for their metabolic type to assist them to safely lose as much weight as possible.
We will also review the best type of exercise program that is best for you to burn as much body fat as possible. for some reason lots of people are doing the wrong type of exercises for weight loss.
They are doing exercises that are designed to build muscle and bulkiness. Suffice to say people are spending hours in the gym and doing programs that are just making them bulky and increasing their body weight.
For a regular person like you and me it’s literally impossible to burn fat and build muscle at the same time. That’s why I design programs that are made up of phases. Phase 1 is designed to lose pounds and inches, to burn body fat. When you come in and we agree that you have lost enough weight and that it is now time to start building muscle we will switch into the toning phase of our program. In this phase the exercises you will be doing are intended to develop nice long lean tone quality muscle.
Even when you’re done with us and no longer need to come into our weight loss centers you can still come back to this website each and every week and benefit from the various recipes that I post here for our patients.
I admit that it can be quite boring eating the same thing each and every day that is why I post different fantastic recipes here every week that are totally delicious and will tantalize your taste buds. So even if you are not one of our weight loss patients, I invite you to come back to our website once a week and just copy these recipes and postings in your Gmail account as a Google document so you have an ever growing and expanding cookbook of recipes that are going to be low-calorie, or low carbohydrate and low sugar; depending on the individual type of nutritional weight loss plan I have made for you.
If you are not one of our weight loss patients I invite you to call us and schedule your free medical weight loss consultation. Call us at 215-821-7336 and Lisa will be glad to schedule your free weight loss consultation.
Now, finally here is another one of our great recipes for a low carbohydrate pizza.
Pizza Noah’s Favorite Barbecue Chicken Pizza*
- Pizza Crust Ingredients:
- eggs – take 6 large eggs and separate the whites and the yolks and place them in different bowls
- cream of Tartar – 1/2 teaspoon
- vegan protein powder – 1/2 cup
- cream cheese – 3 ounces
- Ingredients for the Sauce and the Toppings:
- Bacon – 3 slices diced up
- yellow onion – 2 tablespoons diced
- chicken breast – to boneless and skinless chicken breast cut in to cubes
- tomato sauce – 1 cup
- tamari sauce – wheat free – 1/4 cup
- swerve – 1/3 cup
- Coconut vinegar – 1/4 cup
- cloves of garlic – 3 cloves smashed
- liquid smoke – 2 teaspoons
- shredded cheese – 1 cup, I like mozzarella cheese but you could choose any cheese that you prefer
Let’s start this great recipe by first preheating our oven to 325°F. After that take a 12 inch skillet preferably a cast-iron skillet and grease it with a cooking spray of your choice. Then mix together the cream of Tartar and egg whites for about five minutes or so.
Then add in our protein powder, incrementally, blending every time you add a portion. After that mix in your cream cheese. This will give you your dough mixture and then just spread this out into your skillet. After that let’s bake this for about 15 minutes or so until the crust is nicely browned. While the crust is baking we can start making the toppings and the sauce.
Take a sauté pan and sauté the onion and the bacon until the bacon is nice and crisp. Then add the chicken pieces and cook them all away through. After that removed cooked chicken from the pan. Make sure that you leave the onions and the bacon in the pan and stir in the tomato sauce, vinegar, garlic, liquid smoke and tamari sauce and stir this all together until it’s nice and smooth.
You can also just put this whole thing in a blender and let it blend until it’s nice and smooth. Using a blender is actually be a bit more efficient. When your crust is ready remove it from the oven and top it with your chicken, shredded cheese and the sauce and then increase your oven temperature to about 400°F.
Put the pizza crust with everything on top of it back into the oven and let it bake until the cheese melts and it starts to become golden brown. This usually takes about 5 minutes. This should give you a nice size 12 inch pizza and I would suggest that you cut this into six slices. Each of these slices has approximately 600 calories, 52 grams of protein and 5 grams of carbohydrates.
I hope you enjoy this recipe is much as Noah does. If you are a loved one or friend need help with achieving your weight loss goals I invite you to call us for totally free consultation. Call Lisa now at 215-821-7336 and schedule your free weight loss consultation.

Eat More To Lose More Weight by Medical Weight Loss Philadelphia
Yes, that’s right. With our weight loss program you get to eat more to lose more weight. Losing weight with our medical weight loss program does not mean that you have to give up all of the foods that you love.
You just have to eat sensibly and have a game plan. For most of the patients in our Philadelphia weight loss program and our Bucks County weight loss program this means that they can enjoy most of the foods that they love.
They just have to pay attention to portion size and make the right decisions. Most of our weight loss plans allow you to eat almost everything in moderation. So, this means that you are going to eat lots of good food and enjoy yourself.

On this site you will find recipes for low carbohydrate and low sugar cheesecake, low-calorie lasagna, sugar-free ice cream, and even low carbohydrate and sugar free dessert recipes like tiramisu, cannolis and Panna Cotta.

In a bowl mix together the xanthan gum in a coconut oil until it splendid nicely together and very smooth. And in another bowl stir together the baking powder, vanilla protein powder, salt and coconut flour. After this bowl is combined nicely together add the extract, eggs and coconut oil and stir this together and then combine the ingredients of all the bowls together. Mix everything together until it forms a nice doughey texture. Then all you have to do is spoon this into your doughnut pans and bake for about 18 – 22 minutes, or just until the top becomes a light golden brown. I usually stir these in a Tupperware container that is airtight in the refrigerator and they normally stay for about 1 week like this. But I have put them in the freezer for as long as three weeks and they were perfectly fine. This recipe makes 12 bagels and each of them has 119 cal, 2 g of carbohydrates, 8.9 g of fat and 7.8 g of protein.

That is why we offer the free consultations, to determine if you are a candidate for our program. When you first come in you will be evaluated by the healthcare provider and then they will their clinical skills and expertise and make the recommendations as to what would be the best weight loss program for you. This includes the appropriate weight loss medications, best nutrition – diet meal plan and what would be the best target weight loss goal for you. And in addition to all of this we give you lots of fantastic recipes to help you lose your weight. We have recipes that we had every week to our website that are usually low-calorie recipes and/or low sugar low carbohydrate recipes.

Avocado Soup*
This is a phenomenal recipe it makes 6 servings and each has 64 cal, 5 g of fat, 5 g of carbohydrates in 2 g of protein.
- The ingredients are:
- 2 small peeled and seeded avocados – cut up
- 1/2 cup of seeded and peeled chopped cucumber
- 1/3 cup of chopped onions
- 1/4 cup of shredded carrots
- 14.5 ounces of reduced sodium chicken broth
- 1.5 cups of water with several dashes of hot pepper sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/3 cup of refrigerated fresh salsa
- snipped fresh cilantro
For this recipe we’re going to start by combining the avocados, onion, carrots, cucumber, garlic and the chicken broth in a blender and blend until everything is nice and smooth. Next add the water, hot pepper sauce and salt and cover this again and blended until everything is combined nicely and it’s creamy and smooth. Then all you have to do is pour the mixture into a large bowl or Tupperware container and cover and refrigerate this for several hours. I usually like making this a day of head of time so we are enjoying a nicely chilled avocado soup when we do eat it. When you are ready to serve all you have to do is spoon the soup into your soup bowls and then sprinkle each serving way after paprika, salsa and snipped cilantro.
Black Bean and Chicken Pesto Wraps*
This is a great recipe that makes approximately 4 servings each of them having approximately 300 cal, and 35 g of carbohydrate.
- The ingredients are:
- 15 ounce can of no salt added black beans – rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup of loosely packed cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup of chopped onion
- 3 tablespoons of lime juice
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- two cloves of garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon of salt
- 12 ounces of skinless boneless chicken breast sliced in half and cut into strips
- 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano – crushed
- 1/8 teaspoon of salt
- 2 teaspoons of olive oil
- 4 multigrain flatbread wraps
- 2 cups of fresh shredded fresh spinach
- one small red pepper – cut into bite-size strips
In a bowl let’s combine the beans, onion, cilantro, 1 tablespoon of the lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon of the chili powder, the garlic, crushed red pepper and 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Mash all of this together until it’s just about smooth. You can use anything you like to mash this I use a potato masher. Then just set this on the side. In another bowl toss the chicken breast strips with the rest of the chili powder, oregano and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix this nicely together so that the chicken absorbs all of the spices. Then you want to use a large skillet and cook the chicken in oil over medium – high heat for 4 – 5 minutes or for long as it takes for the chicken to be thoroughly cooked so that there is no pink remaining. After that remove from the heat and stir in the leftover 2 tablespoons of lime juice. To make the wraps all you have to do is spread the bean mixture evenly on each of the 4 wraps. Then top with the spinach, sweet pepper strips and the chicken and just roll them up and enjoy.
I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do.

Fat Burning Hunger Killing Sweet Snacks
Hi everyone, today I’m going to give you one of my favorite sweet treat recipes. I am going to give you the recipe for an awesome totally delicious peanut butter cup.
The best part about this recipe is that it tastes great and is low in carbohydrates and low in sugar. So if I ever get unusually hungry and craving something sweet I just eat one or two of these and my cravings go away.
If you are new to our medical weight loss program and you would like more information on our medically supervised weight loss program just call us and schedule your free medical weight loss consultation. Call us at 215-821-7336 and you can schedule your weight loss evaluation for any of our office locations.
Now here is that awesome recipe I told you about:
Low Carbohydrate Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
Ingredients:
coconut oil – 2 tablespoons
unsalted grassfed butter – 2 tablespoons
all natural organic (preferably sugar free) peanut butter – 4 tablespoons
cocoa powder – 3 teaspoons
stevia – 3 green packets
vanilla extract or any other sugar free flavor (I really like caramel so I use a sugar free caramel syrup quite often)- 1 teaspoon
Full fat cream cheese one and a half tablespoons
Instructions:
If you have a hand mixer or blender I suggest that you use it for this recipe. Start by adding all of the ingredients into a microwavable save container and use your hand mixer to blend everything together. After everything is mixed nicely place it in your microwave and set this for 20 seconds. Then let it cool down, mix everything again and then place it back in the microwave for approximately 10 more seconds. At this point if it is too chunky or thick stir everything again and then set it back in the microwave for approximately all 10 – 30 seconds. After that take it out of the microwave, please make sure that you do not burn yourself. And pour the mixture into a mini cupcake pan. This many cupcake pan should have a serving size of 12. After pouring the mixture evenly into the 12 sections place it in your freezer for at least one hour. This recipe will make 12 many chocolate peanut butter cups and each of them will have approximately 1.25 grams of carbohydrates, approximately 7 grams of fat and about 1 gram of protein.
I really do hope you enjoy this recipe is much as I do. It is one of my go to snacks. And I really love that it taste just like a regular peanut butter cup but it does not have all of the bad sugar and carbohydrates. This is great for me because as a diabetic I have to be really careful when it comes to the sugars and amount of carbohydrates that I eat during the day.
