Open the buns so that they are lying flat in place on the baking sheet cut sides up. Broil them approximately 5 inches from the heat for about one minute or for as long as it takes for them to become lightly toasted. Spoon out the meatball mixture evenly over top of your bonds and sprinkle with cheese. Broil for approximately two minutes or as long as it takes for the cheese to melt.

In our own personal experience and in our weight loss center we have found that phentermine and phendimetrazine seem to be the most successful in helping people lose weight and in our opinion our weight loss patients seem to have less side effects from these two medications as compared to lots of the other weight-loss medications.

- Liquid hot pepper sauce – ¼ teaspoon
- Light tuna packed in water – 1 can – drained
First Baker potatoes in a 400°F oven for approximately 45 minutes. You can even cook them in a microwave at full power. Usually if I am using a microwave I poke holes in the potato with a fork and I set the timer for approximately 3 minutes. It usually takes a good 15 – 20 minutes to totally cook a raw potato in the microwave. Next heat the oil in a large skillet and add your garlic, oregano and scallions and salty this for approximately 1 minute. After that add the olives, capers, tomatoes and pepper sauce and cook this until it is slightly reduced, this usually takes about 3 minutes. After that add the tuna and remove from the heat. Now this gets fancy. Score the top of your potatoes with a fork in a cross pattern then push the ends of the potatoes together. This will cause the potato to open up and then you just spoon the tuna mixture over top of your potato and serve.

Roasted Salmon* Just 170 Calories!!!!
Ingredients:
- Sugar – 1 Tablespoon
- Grated Lemon Rind – 1 Tablespoon
- Salt – 1 Teaspoon
- Black Pepper – ¼ Teaspoon
- One Salmon Filet – Approximately 1.5 Pounds
First mix together the sugar, lemon rind, pepper and salt in a bowl and rub this all over your salmon. After that cover your salmon and let it refrigerate for a good half hour. When you are ready preheat your oven to 425°F and coat a baking dish with some type of olive oil cooking spray. Cut the salmon into 4 beautiful pieces. Next placer salmon with the skin side down in a baking dish and roast this for approximately 10 – 12 minutes, plus or minus a few minutes until the fish is cooked thoroughly. This is one of my favorite recipe it makes 4 servings each of them having 177 calories, 5 g of fat, 28 g of protein and 3 g of carbohydrate. For me because I am diabetic instead of using a tablespoon of sugar I prefer to use 1 tablespoon of Stevia that way it does not spike my sugar levels in my bloodstream as much as a normal sugar does.
Moroccan Style Salmon*: if you would like a Moroccan flavor for this recipe all you have to do is add 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the rub that’s noted in the roasted salmon recipe above and then follow the rest of the directions as I have laid out in the roasted salmon recipe.
Latin Style Salmon*: for more of a Latin flavor just do not add salt to the rub and instead add 1 tablespoon of jarred bitter orange flavored adobo seasoning. Then just roast the fish as you would in the above recipes. You can usually find the adobo seasoning in the Spanish food section and even the spice section of your local supermarket like Acme or giant.
Smoked Lemon Salmon*
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups of Mesquite Wood Chips
Green Mayonnaise:
- Light mayonnaise – ½ cup
- Fresh lemon juice – 1 tablespoon
- Chopped fresh dill – 2 tablespoons
- Snipped fresh chives – 1 tablespoon
- Salt – ⅛ teaspoon
Salmon:
- Grated lemon rind – 1 tablespoon
- Chopped fresh dill – 1 tablespoon
- Salt – ½ teaspoon
- Black pepper – ¼ teaspoon
- 2 pounds of salmon fillets with the bones removed but leave the skin on
- Vegetable oil – 1 tablespoon
Start by soaking the wood chips by following the package directions for at least one hour. To make the green mayonnaise in a food processor or a blender pulls together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, chives and salt and blend us all nicely together. When it’s finished just scoop it out into a bowl. Then just cover this and let it refrigerate. Next drain the -soaked woodchips and put them in a small foil pan. Set up your outdoor grill with hot coals like you normally would for indirect grilling. Placed a foil pan with the chips in the corner of the grill and over direct heat.
Or you can heat your gas grill for indirect grilling but the foil pan. The girl is ready when the chips begin the smoke, this usually takes about 5 minutes. For the salmon combined the lemon rind, salt and pepper and dill. Next a brush the salmon with your oil and rub the lemon mixture over the salmon.
When I make this recipe I like to place the fish in a fish basket and then grill the salmon over indirect heat, covered for about 30 minutes or so.

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.

In our medical weight loss program we give you the best weight loss and diet pills to help decrease and eliminate your hunger and cravings in combination with energy boosting vitamin B12 injections and a total weight loss blueprint that outlines everything from the types of food you should be eating, how often you should be eating and even the type of exercise you should be doing.
And believe it or not, the only exercise that most of our patients are doing is walking and they are losing lots of weight.
When you come in for your initial weight loss consultation we will ask you what your goal is. If you want to lose body fat and lose pounds and inches there is a specific way to exercise to achieve this.
I hate to tell you this but most of the people that come to us wanting to lose pounds and inches are exercising on their own (before they come to us) and doing everything totally wrong.

How I Lost 7 Pounds in 5 Days by Medical Weight Loss Philadelphia
Hello everyone this is Dr. Kenny. And yes over 5 days I have lost 7 pounds and in this article I’m going to outline how I did it.
If you are one of our weight loss patients, you know that over the course of 2015, I lost approximately 80 pounds and I have succeeded in keeping it off.
But while on a beautiful cruise vacation with my wife I’ve recently gained 6 pounds back. I actually wrote about this here on our blog, and the post is titled, “How I Plan to Lose 6 Pounds in 1 Week”. And in the article I explained how I gained 6 pounds while on a cruise and I shared some of the recipes (Chocolate Mousse and Cheesecake) that I was going to enjoy to get rid of those 6 pounds quickly. Well I am happy to say that I actually lost 7 pounds in 5 days and yes I did enjoy the chocolate mousse and cheesecake for dessert a few nights of the week.
Here is the plan I followed to lose those 7 lbs in 5 days.
Breakfast: Okay, in a perfect world where all of us have our own personal chef cooking breakfast for us every morning, a nice breakfast would be 2 or 3 eggs, some vegetables and even a small piece of whole wheat toast with just the right amount of butter on it. But sadly, I do not have my own personal chef and most of the time life is so hectic that I never have the time to eat breakfast.
So for me, breakfast has been a cup of coffee with half-and-half and Stevia, Truvia, Splenda or equal. And that’s it for my breakfast. Now I know our parents have always told us that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But if you need to lose 5 pounds or more and you skip breakfast your body will actually burn your body fat for fuel and energy. So if you are a normal and healthy person just having coffee or tea for breakfast is perfectly fine. Just make sure that in your coffee you’re just using half and half, light cream, skim milk or heavy cream and do not use any type of flavored sugar creams and do not use real sugar.
Lunch: Depending on my day and depending on the amount of time that I have for lunch I do a few different things. If my lovely wife is joining me for lunch she will usually meet me at Panera Bread. Especially during the cold months when they have the butternut squash soup because she loves that soup. I usually enjoy their chicken cobb with avocado salad and I will ask him to put extra avocado in the salad for me. Now depending on my mood I may just eat the salad and not have anything on the side with it. Or I might get the bag of potato chips on the side and just eat about 5 chips. And then sometimes I might enjoy their fresh bread baguette but I only eat about a quarter of this. And if I’m in the mood for something sweet I will just have an apple on the side instead. For my beverage I will have a bottle of water, diet soda or another cup of coffee.
Other times I am going to one of the local diners and enjoying a fantastic lunch of 3 eggs, 4 – 5 pieces of turkey bacon and a small slice of whole wheat toast with some butter on it. For my beverage I will have water with either a glass of diet soda or another cup of coffee.
But if I am short on time and hungry believe it or not WAWA is my go to place. What I usually do is get two of their large hot-dogs, throw one roll away and eat half of the other roll with the 2 hot dogs. For my beverage I will have the same as I mentioned above, usually a bottle of water with either a diet soda or a cup of coffee.
Dinner: Dinner is a meal that I really enjoy ( because I like food) and for a perfect dinner I will have 4 – 6 ounces of a good healthy protein such as steak, chicken and even fish. Because of me being diabetic usually we try to cook with spices that do not have any sugar so we’re using the good old reliable spices of black pepper, garlic, oregano and a touch of salt. I prefer the Himalayan salt because it has a better taste and supposed to be healthier for us. But just use a touch of salt because too much of it can cause you to retain water weight. For vegetables we will make something like roasted Brussel sprouts with garlic and oil, sautéed string beans with garlic in oil and some nights we may even have microwavable or frozen veggies with melted butter over top. We actually enjoyed frozen broccoli and cauliflower last night for dinner with some melted butter poured over top and it was quite delicious.
Some nights we may order takeout. I would say once or twice a week on my way home I pick up Chinese food. But I ask them to leave certain things out when I order Chinese food and I almost always order the same thing. I usually have chicken chow mein with no MSG, no corn-starch and no sugar. I may also order egg drop soup and again I ask them to not put in MSG, corn-starch and sugar. Sometimes I may order an egg roll but I usually split this with my wife. For some reason I remember egg rolls tasting so much better when I was a teenager and in my 20’s so honestly I don’t even enjoy egg rolls anymore, It’s just a mental thing so the Mrs. and I usually split one.
If we are going out to a restaurant for dinner I will usually order steak, chicken or fish as my entrée and I will have a nice large salad as an appetizer. If I am at a good Italian restaurant and they have calamari I will usually 100% of the time order that, especially if it’s not breaded. I especially love a nice Italian antipasto with cured meats, olives, artichoke hearts and vegetables.
As a snack or dessert for most nights I’m enjoying the desserts that I have all recipes for in this website; like the Chocolate Mousse and Cheesecake. And if I am lazy that night I will just have sugar free jello.
I hope you enjoy the reality and simplicity of this meal plan. I call it my real world diet plan.
In a perfect world without stress, strain, responsibility and work and we all have our own personal chefs we could all eat that imaginary perfect diet of 5 small meals per day. But that’s almost impossible for most of us.
Even though my life is filled with stress, strain and responsibility I still consider it to be perfect because I’m blessed with wonderful family and friends and the best patients anyway weight loss doctor could ever ask for.
So I found the perfect diet for my version of a perfect life.

Here are 3 more great recipes to add to your cookbooks.
Elyse’s Cheesecake
Okay, I know that if you are one of our weightless patients you are saying not a another cheesecake recipe from Dr. Kenny but the truth is that I absolutely love cheesecake. So here is another cheesecake recipe.
- 4 ounces of Philadelphia cream cheese
- 1 cup of Stevia
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup of sour cream
- 4 eggs
We are going start by preheating are our oven to 350°F and then we are going to whip the cream cheese until it’s fluffy, for about 4 minutes. Next we will combine the Stevia, sour cream and vanilla extract and mix this for about 4 minutes. Next we will add the eggs one at a time mixing until everything is creamy for about a minute or so after each egg. After this we grease a 9 inch springform pan and put the springform on a baking sheet and then pour the filling into it. We are going to bake this for approximately 50 – 55 minutes, plus or minus a few minutes until it’s lightly brown around the edges and fluffy. When it’s done you definitely want to let it cool down for a bit. I usually like to let it cool for approximately 2 hours. This makes about 10 servings. I have tried eating it after only letting it cool for about 30 minutes but believe me it tastes much better if you let it cool for 2 hours. When my wife makes this for me she will usually make 2 at a time. Because I will always start eating one as quickly as possible and she lets the other one cool overnight. And it does taste much better the next day.
Blueberry Yogurt Bars
- 1 cup of full fat Greek yogurt
- ½ cup of Stevia
- ¼ cup of blueberries
Mix the Stevia and yogurt together and pour this into a freezer safe dish. We are then going to put the blueberries over top of the yogurt and stevia mixture and then place it in the freezer and let it freeze until the yogurt is nice and solid. This may take anywhere from 2 – 3 hours. After its solid take it out of the freezer and let it just sit for about 10 minutes and finally break it into pieces. You can enjoy this immediately or you could put in freezer bags and save it for later.
Snack Bars
- 1 cup of peanut butter
- ½ cup of Stevia
- ½ cup of flax seed meal
- ½ cup of almond meal
- ½ cups of sugar free chocolate chips
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon of Chia seeds
- ½ cup of almonds
- ½ cup of cashews
Preheat our oven to 350°F and line 8 x 8 or baking dish with parchment paper. Then mix everything together until it’s totally combined. Pour this into the 8 x 8 pan and flatten it. Next we bake this for approximately 10 – 15 minutes and let it cool for a bit and then refrigerate for at least one hour. Then all you have to do is cut it into bars and enjoy. You can also keep whatever you have left over in the refrigerator so that it stays fresh.
