One of the most popular new year resolutions is to lose weight. But if you don’t have the proper plan, the correct information and realistic guidance most people do not achieve their goals. And this is why I believe that our weight loss programs are so successful. Because we try our best to work with our weight loss patients in developing a realistic weight loss plan that they are able to do in their hectic and crazy busy life.
We also try to have people eat foods that they really enjoy. So our medical weight loss program goes way beyond weight loss pills, appetite suppressant medications, diet pills and vitamin B-12 injections therapy. In addition we will instruct you in a plan that will include the proper types of food that you should be eating for your metabolism, body type, how many calories you should be eating in a day and recommending the proper type of physical activities/exercise that will help you lose weight, burn body fat and not be bulky and blocky.
It’s unbelievable how many people come into our office and are exercising almost every day and they are just getting heavier, bigger and developing a body that looks like a block or a square. And most of the time this is because they are doing the wrong types of exercises.
If your goal is to lose pounds and inches there were certain type of exercises that work best for this. And they are totally different from exercises that are designed to increase muscle mass. So if you are exercising to lose weight and body fat and are just getting heavier and more bulky you’re probably doing the wrong type of exercises. So call us for your free consultation and let us help you design a plan that will assist you in achieving your goals. Call us now at 215-821-7336 and set up your totally free weight loss consultation.

Cookies and Cream Zero Belly Fat Recipe by Medical Weight Loss in Philadelphia
Hi everyone this is Dr. Kenny. I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season. In this blog post I’m going to give you an awesome recipe for a mug cake. It’s another twist on the recipe for a cookies and cream cake. This recipe is great because it’s loaded with cookie chunks and it’s super simple and quick to make. It has lots of good healthy protein, fiber and it’s also gluten-free, dairy free and paleo friendly.
During the holiday season of November and December statistics tell us that people can gain anywhere from 10 pounds and is much as 20 pounds during these two months.
Between family dinners, get-togethers and celebrations with friends and family and even people bringing lots of delicious but fattening goodies into the workplace it’s very difficult to maintain any type of healthy eating program let alone a weight loss eating nutrition program.
So that is why during these next few weeks I’m going to step up my game and try to add at least three new recipes to our website. Some of these recipes may be low carbohydrate and low sugar and others will be low-calorie versions of foods that we love to eat. I am also going to try to add some healthy ingredients to foods that are normally loaded with sugar and lots of calories.
And that’s exactly what I’m doing with this recipe for this cooking cream mug cake. Usually this type of recipe has nothing but lots and lots of sugar in calories and provide no nutritional value. But by using coconut flour and almond flour we are adding good healthy fiber and significantly decreasing the amount of sugar that we would normally be eating if this recipe was made from good old white processed flour. And because we are using Stevia or swerve instead of regular sugar we are decreasing the amount of sugar that would normally be in this type of recipe. By using unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk we are also increasing its nutritional value and eliminating lots of allergic reactions that are associated with normal regular dairy products such as milk.
If you want to make this recipe totally good for you you should probably decrease the amount of optional ingredients like in the unsweetened sugar-free chocolate or vanilla chips. I just added these in their because my son Noah saw me making this recipe this morning and he wanted to add some additional flavor to the recipe. If you like the addition of the unsweetened/sugar free chocolate or vanilla chips make sure you tell Noah when you see him working in the office this summer.
If you are not one of our Philadelphia medical weight loss patients or Bucks County medical weight loss patients and would like information on our weight loss program, I invite you to call us and schedule your free medical weight loss consultation. Call us now at 215-821-7336 and Lisa will be more than happy to schedule your free consultation.
Here is the recipe:
Creamy Cookie Cake Recipe – Low Carb
- Ingredients
- coconut flour – 1&1/2 TBSPS
- almond flour – 1 TBSP
- sea salt – just a dash
- baking powder – 1/2 TSP
- Swerve or Stevia – 1 TBSP
- Paleo cookie – any kind of 1-3 paleo cookies
- egg – 1 large egg
- unsweetened almond or coconut milk any flavor – 1/4 cup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract – 1/2 TSP
- Optional – unsweetened/sugar free chocolate or vanilla chips – 1 TBSP
Instructions: In an oversized mug or even a bowl mix together your coconut flour, salt, baking powder, almond flour, swerve or Stevia and your cookie.
Take another bowl and mix together your unsweetened coconut milk or almond milk, eggs and vanilla extract. Make sure that you blend this well together. Now that you have your dry ingredients in one bowl and your wet ingredients in another were going to combined the two of them and stir everything until it’s mixed together nicely.
Next get an over-sized mug or even better a nice sized ball and for everything into it. Place it in the microwave and cook it for about 45 seconds. Then take it out of the microwave and check it. At this point you can add your chocolate chips and place it back to the microwave and cook it for as long as it needs to cook everything thoroughly.
This could possibly take another minute or so. Total microwaving time is anywhere from 1 – 2 minutes. But again depending upon the strength of your microwave it might be a little bit more or even a little bit less time. When it’s thoroughly cooked take it out of the microwave let it cool down quite a bit before attempting to eat it. This recipe makes one serving.
So there you have it another fantastic low-carb recipe that not only taste good but it’s also very good for your waistline.

Biscotti Low Carb & Gluten Free
- Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- Swerve – ⅓ cup
- stevia extract – ¼ tsp
- butter – ¼ cup
- vanilla extract, sugar free – ½ tsp
- almond flour – 1 and ¾ cups
- xanthan gum – ¼ tsp
- unsweetened cocoa – ½ cup
- baking soda – ½ tsp
- salt – ¼ tsp
- cinnamon – 1 tsp
- Optional items include chopped nuts and sugar free chocolate chips
Instructions:
First we should preheat our oven to 325 F. Then in a bowl, stir or blend together the eggs, butter, vanilla extract, swerve and stevia. In another bowl stir together the remaining ingredients until they are mixed nicely. Then combine the ingredients of both bowls and you can add the sugar free chocolate chips and the nuts if you would like to.
Mold this into a nice big dough ball. Next grease a cookie sheet and spread the dough out and form your typical biscotti. Next we bake this for about 25 minutes, just until it’s slightly browned. Take it out of the oven and decrease the temperature to 275 F. Allow the biscotti to cool down for about 14 minutes and cut it into strips that are approximately one half inch wide. Then put the individual biscotti on their side onto the cookie sheet and bake them for another 25 – 30 minutes, or for as long as to takes for them to cook to a nice crispness.
This recipes makes about 15 biscotti and each has approx 2 grams of carbohydrates.
Oreo Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Low Carb
- Ingredients:
- Low carbohydrate chocolate cookies – one pound (the above cookie recipe is perfect for this)
- butter – ½ cup
- cream cheese – 8 ounces
- Swerve – ⅔ cup
- stevia extract – ½ tsp
- heavy cream – 1 cup
- eggs – 6 large
- coconut flour – 2 tbsps
- vanilla extract – sugar free – 2 tbsps
This is a really fantastic recipe. To start just take a 9 inch spring form pan and grease it. Then preheat your oven to 350°F. Next break up your cookies into very tiny crumbs. You can use your hands or just use your food processor to do this. Divide your cookie crumbs into two separate bowls and stir one half into your melted butter. You are going to take this butter and cookie crumb mixture and line the bottom of your springform pan with it.
After doing this place the pan in your refrigerator. Next you want to blend together your swerve, whipping cream and cream cheese. Make sure that you use a large bowl for this. When it’s nice and smooth you can add the vanilla, coconut flour and eggs and stir everything until it’s creamy smooth. Then take your springform pan out of the refrigerator and pour half of your cream cheese mixture over top of the crust. Then take the other half of your cookie crumbs and pour that over top and then just pour the rest of the creamy mixture over top of that. Next place this in the oven and let it bake for about an hour or so. You want to bake it for as long as it takes for the center to become very firm.
Finally take the cheesecake out of the oven and let it cool down. Personally I like to let it cool down for at least one hour and then you can remove it from the pan. For the best tasting cheesecake I like to leave it in the refrigerator until the next day. This is one of those recipes where there cake will actually taste better the next day. This recipe makes 12 servings each of them having about 3 – 4 grams of carbohydrates.

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.

Now, when I said most of our patients get to eat everything in moderation I was totally serious. Especially if they are making the recipes that I put on this website each and every week. 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.
Today I am going to give you the recipes for low carbohydrate bagels and my favorite scrambled eggs fiesta. These are to low carbohydrate recipes that go extremely well together. If you have a both of these together for breakfast you will be totally amazed that diet food could possibly taste this good.
Low Carbohydrate Bagels*
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of our vanilla gluten-free, soy free, sugar free and zero carbohydrate protein powder
coconut flour – 2 TBS
baking powder – 1 TSP
Sea salt – one quarter TSP
xanthan gum – 1/2 TSP
melted coconut oil – 1/4 cup
large eggs – 10
you may also add 2 – TSP of any type of slavery extract like vanilla or blueberry if you like.
Let’s begin by preheating the oven to 325°F. Then spray to 6 cavity donut pans with nonstick cooking spray. 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.

chopped fresh chives – 2 TBS

we are going to start this phenomenal recipe by melting the butter in a small pan over medium – low heat and then in a bowl mix together the chives, pepper, salt, diced tomato and eggs. Then pour this into your saucepan and allow it to cook for several minutes of course stirring it and keeping everything mixing nicely. When you’re eggs are finished cooking take them off of the flame and add the sour cream stirring everything together well. Finally mix in the bacon and serve this while it’s nice and warm.

Skinny Recipes For the Holidays by Medical Weight Loss Philadlephia
Hi everyone. It’s early Sunday morning after Thanksgiving and everyone it is still sleeping except for me, Rocky and Jasper (our 2 dogs aka our furry children). So of course what do I do while everyone else is sleeping? I write an article for our blog for our fantastic weight-loss patients.
(If you are not part of our weight-loss program and have some questions or looking for more information just call us and schedule your free consultation, Call us at 215-821-7336 and Lisa would be happy to answer your questions and schedule your free weight loss consultation.)
In this article I am going to give you the recipe for a delicious low-carb meatball with an amazing sauce, that my wife made for us this past Thanksgiving for all of us to enjoy. And I am also going to give you a recipe that I made myself for a chocolate peanut butter bar.
Meatball Recipe*
- Ingredients:
- Grass fed ground beef– 2 pounds
- Tomato sauce– 1/4 cup
- Minced yellow onion– 1/4 cups
- Gluten-free tamari sauce– one tablespoon
- Dry mustard– 1 tablespoon
- Minced garlic clove – one clove
- Sea salt– 2 teaspoons
- Ground black pepper – 1 teaspoon
- Liquid smoke– one teaspoon
- The ingredients for the sauce are:
- Unsalted butter– one stick
- Cream cheese– 2 ounces
- Beef broth – 1/3 third cup
- Grated Parmesan cheese – 1/2 cup
- Ground nutmeg – 1/8 teaspoon
Start by preheating your oven to 325°F. Then in a very large bowl combine all of the ingredients together and mix everything total it’s totally combined. After you have mixed all of the ingredients together it’s time to make your meatballs. Try to shape them into 1 1/2 inch meatballs and place them on a baking sheet and let them bake for about 45 minutes or 1 hour. Just make sure that they are totally cooked all the way through.
Now it’s time to make the sauce while meatballs are baking. Take a nice sized sauce pan and place the butter in there and heat until’s the butter starts to sizzle and you start to see brown flecks. Just make sure that you are stirring this because you do not want the butter to burn. Decrease the heat to a low setting and mix in the cream cheese, Nutmeg, Parmesan cheese and bone broth and let this simmer for approximately 16 to 17 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the oven when they are cooked. Now all you have to do is arrange to them on a serving dish and enjoy them with the sauce.
This recipe makes about 16 servings as an appetizer if you make the meatballs smaller or if you make them larger you should be able to make about eight servings.
