Of course these are not your typical diet foods and that’s part of what makes our program so unique from other Philadelphia DIet Programs.
Here are the recipes:
Avocado Egg Cups*

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Place your avocado hands with the cut side up in a baking dish or any other type of oven safe skillet. Crack open your egg and place it into the center and each of the avocado halves and then sprinkle your pepper and salt over top. Next let’s place this any of and for approximately 13 – 21 minutes – until the eggs cooked. When it is finished cooking just take it out of the oven and top it with any of the other additional toppings or even some of your own toppings that you really like.
This recipe makes two servings each of them has approximately 470 cal, 9 grams of protein and approximately 10 grams of carbohydrates. Go to sleep
Cheesey Zucchini Hashbrowns*

- egg – 1 large egg beaten
- Parmesan cheese – 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- green onion – 2 tablespoons of chopped green onion
- black pepper – 1/2 teaspoon
- butter – 1/4 cup
- hollandaise
This is a really great recipe let’s begin by taking the zucchini and mixing them in a bowl with the salt. After everything is mixed together nicely just let this sit for about 14 minutes. And then drain any extra liquid out of it. Next we and add the pepper, egg, green onion and Parmesan cheese and mix everything together well. After that place a skillet over medium – high heat, allow the butter to melt and make do zucchini mixture into 4 portions. They should be about 2.5 inches in diameter and a half inch thick. Put them in your pan and let them fry for about 5 minutes per side or for as long as it takes until they are nice and golden brown. Then remove them from the pan and place them on a cooling rack. After the cool down a little bit you can serve them with the holiday sauce.
This recipe makes four cakes and that equals four servings each serving has about 440 cal, 3 grams of protein and about 2 grams of carbohydrates.
Antipasto*
- Ingredients:
- mozzarella cheese – 12 ounces of fresh mozzarella cheese sliced
- extra-virgin olive oil – 2 tablespoons
- chopped fresh basil – 2 tablespoons
- oregano – 2 tablespoons
- ground black pepper and sea salt to taste
- olive – 27 pitted
- salami – 4 ounces thinly sliced
This of course is one of my all-time favorites! First I like to take the cheese slices and place them nicely on a platter and then drizzle the olive oil over top and of course sprinkle over top the oregano, black pepper, basil and salt. Now I just add the salami and the olives and it’s ready to serve. This recipe makes about 6 servings each of them has approximately 280 cal, 4 grams of carbohydrates and 18 grams of protein.
Cheese Wrapped in Prosciutto and Fried*
- Ingredients:
- coconut oil or olive oil – 2 tablespoons
- unsalted butter – 2 tablespoons
- frozen string cheese – 8 pieces
- prosciutto – 8 slices that are very thin
- any type of herbs that you like – oregano, tarragon, thyme or even sage.
- Marinara sauce
Of course this is another one of my all-time favorites! First I take up and and I heat the oil over medium heat. Then I unwrapped the cheese. Now comes the fun part, wrapped each piece of cheese with one slice of prosciutto making sure that you wrap up the entire piece of cheese including the ends. If you like you can actually now sprinkle your chopped herbs for more of the crust. Then just take each piece of the frozen cheese wrapped in the prosciutto and place it in the pan and just fry it. Make sure that you are turning it often until it becomes a bit crisp and the cheese starts to soften. This happened very quickly you should only take a few minutes. Now all you have to do is set them all the platter let them cool down a bit and you could dip them in the marinara sauce. I do have to say once again this is one of my all-time favorite recipes. This recipe makes eight pieces and two of the make up a serving. Each serving has about 18 grams of protein, 330 cal and 2 grams of carbohydrates.
So there you have four great recipes that are lower in carbohydrates and recipes that are not usually considered diet food.

Here are the recipes:
Avocado Salad*
- Ingredients:
- avocado – 1/2 of an avocado
- Olive oil – 2 teaspoons
- line – 1/4 line
- salt and pepper to taste
To make your delicious salad just slice the avocado and half and set the slices nicely on a plate and then sprinkle with the olive oil and squeeze the lime over top. Add the salt and pepper to taste. A nice little gadget that I suggest that you purchase is an avocado slicer. Since avocados are a big part of my daily diet I always make sure that we have plenty in the house. This recipe makes one serving and it only has 9 grams of carbohydrates and 246 cal.
Guacamole Dip*

- crushed garlic clove – 1/2 garlic clove crushed

- Olive oil – 1 tablespoon
- hot sauce – to taste
- salt to taste
- 1/2 tablespoon of minced cilantro
Let’s start by mincing our onion and crushing are garlic and combining them both in a bowl. Cut your avocado in half and scoop out the meat into that ball that has are garlic and minced onion. Mash the avocado with a fork. But do not make it to smooth, you should leave it a little bit chunky. Add your lime juice by squeezing the lime and then add the cilantro, hot sauce, Olive Oyl and salt. I usually like to serve mind as soon as we make it because it really doesn’t last that long. This recipe makes about two servings each of them having approximately 220 cal, 20 grams of fat, 2 grams of protein and 9 grams of carbohydrates.
Cheese and Pepperoni Chips*
- I know, I have you thinking here – what are pepperoni chips? So just continue reading and you will see what I mean.
- Ingredients:
- pepperoni slices – 1 ounce of pepperoni slices
- whipped cream cheese – 2 tablespoons of cream cheese
Place your pepperoni slices on a microwavable safe plate and microwave them for about 60 – 90 seconds or for as long as it takes for them to be crisp. Now all you have to do is spread the whipped cream cheese over top of them and enjoy. This recipe is for one serving and it contains approximately 200 cal, 7 grams of protein and 2 grams of carbohydrates.
Jalapeno Poppers*
- Ingredients:
- jalapeno peppers – 2 fresh jalapeno peppers
- cream cheese – 1.5 ounces of cream cheese
- bacon – 2 slices of bacon
First let’s start by slicing open are peppers and remove the stems and scrape out the seeds from the inside. Next put half of the cream cheese into each of the peppers. Then just take your bacon and wrap it around the pepper covering as much of it as you can. You should use a toothpick to keep this together. Next just grill or broil them until the bacon is totally cooked. And now all you have to do is eat them! This makes one serving and it has approximately 215 cal, 7 grams of protein and 3 grams of carbohydrates.
Blue Cheese Celery Slammers*
- Ingredients:
- cream cheese – 1.5 ounces of cream cheese
- heavy cream – 1 tablespoon
- crumbled blue cheese – 1 tablespoon

instructions:
Place your cream cheese, heavy cream, blue cheese, garlic and hot sauce into a ball and mix everything together with a fork. Make sure that you stir and mashed together well to have it form a nice dip but be sure to leave a few chunks of blue cheese. When everything is mixed together well just stuff your stalks of celery with the blue cheese mixture and enjoy. This is enough for one serving and each serving has about 230 cal, 6 grams of protein and 5 grams of carbohydrates.

3 Low Carb Recipes for Fast Weight Loss with Medical Weight Loss in Philadelphia
If you would like more information on our medically supervised prescription weight loss program call us at 215-821-7336 and schedule your free weight loss consultation. In our Philadelphia medical weight loss program we use appetite suppressant medications, weight loss pills and diet pills along with vitamin B-12 injections therapy and nutrition and physical activity plans to help you achieve your weight loss goals. Even though you might not really be hungry when you are taking our weight loss pills you still need to eat good healthy nutrition.
And that is why we are constantly updating this blog every week with healthy recipes and today I going to give you the recipes for nacho cheese crisps, a low-carb version of chocolate bacon toffee ice cream (according to my son Noah everything taste better with bacon – lol) and a low-carb version of chocolate soufflé.
So here are the three recipes:
Nacho Cheese Crisps
- Ingredients:
- frozen shredded sharp cheddar cheese – 2 ounces
- egg whites – three large egg weights
- cream of Tartar – 1/8 teaspoon
- taco seasoning – 2 teaspoons
Let’s start this fantastic recipe by preheating are oven to 300°F. Next we take a piece of parchment paper and place it over top of a baking sheet. Now the fun begins. Take your frozen cheese and put in a food processor and chop it into tiny pieces. In a mixing bowl mix together the cream of Tartar with the egg white’s and then add the cheese over top. After that mix the cheese into the cream of Tartar and egg white mixture. Try to keep the mixture nice fluffy but you definitely want to make sure that the cheese is all the way through out the mixture. And here is where it gets really fun, take this mixture and you could place it into a pipette bag and squeeze this mixture onto your baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You want to make strips at least 2 – 3 inches long and about 1/2 inch wide. (My son Noah made these at college and instead of using a pipette bag all he did was get a large Ziploc bag put the mixture into their could a whole and one quarter of the bag and squeezed out some pretty heavy duty strips of this delicious mixture.) After you have major strips on the baking sheet just sprinkle over top your taco seasoning. Then let this bake any of and for approximately 25 – 30 minutes. I like mine to be very crispy and the longer that you bake them the crispier they will become. But just make sure that you do not burn them. Sometimes after the first 25 minutes I will shut off my oven and just leave them there for about another 20 minutes or so so that they are nice and crispy but they are not overly burn. Of course, it’s always best when you eat this soon after it’s made at least within a couple days but if you use a really good container should be good for approximately 5 – 6 days. This recipe makes about 5 – 6 servings and each has around 55 calories, almost 2 grams of carbohydrates and about 4 grams of protein.
Chocolate Bacon Toffee Ice Cream – Low Carb
- Serves 8
- Ingredients:
- Swerve, erythritol or any other sugar substitute – 1 cup
- Eggs – 3 large
- cocoa powder – 1 cup
- unsweetened vanilla almond milk – 1 cup
- heavy whipping cream – 1½ cups
- pinch of salt
- xanthan gum – ½ tsp
- 90% chocolate – 4 squares
- heavy whipping cream – 2 Tbsp
- ¼ cup chopped crispy bacon – ¼ cup
- Chopped sugar free toffee – 3 squares
This is a really great recipe were going to start by mixing together your cocoa powder, xanthan gum, almond milk, eggs and sugar substitute. After everything is mixed nicely make sure that you are using a microwave safe bowl and put this into the microwave and microwave for about 1 minute or so. Take it out of the microwave, stir it and then put it back into the microwave for about another 30 seconds. Then stir up one more time and microwave for another 30 seconds. Hopefully, by this time the mixture should be a bit second. If it is not; continue to microwave for 30 seconds and then stir until it’s thickened a bit. When you finally have the proper consistency mix in your heavy cream and a little pinch of salt. Let this cool in the refrigerator overnight.
Melt the chocolate together with the 2 tablespoons of whipping cream and then mix in the bacon. Spread this mixture out on either wax paper or on parchment paper and let it chill until it’s hardened. Once it’s nice and hard you can break into pieces and set it on the side. When your ice cream mixture has thoroughly chilled you can put it through an ice cream maker. Just follow the instructions that came with your ice cream maker and I’m sure everything will come out the way it should be.
Wait until there is about two minutes left for your ice cream and to be ready and then mix in the bacon and toffee. Let it process for the final 2 minutes and then you can either serve it as soon as it is ready or you can place it in the freezer and let it firm up a bit. If I am placing it in the freezer to be served later I just make sure that I take it out of the freezer for about 20 minutes before we are going to eat it. Just leaving it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes or so will allow it to become nice and soft to see you can totally enjoy all the rich flavors of this ice cream. This recipe has about 300 calories per serving, 6 grams of carbohydrates and 5 grams of protein.
Low Carb Chocolate Souffle’
- Ingredients:
- butter – 1 tablespoon
- Monk fruit sugar – 1/3 cup
- unsweetened chocolate – 5 ounces
- egg yolks – three large egg yolks at room temperature
- egg whites – 6 large egg whites
- whipped cream – 1 cup
Let’s start by preheating the oven to 375°F. Then butter your soufflé dish with your 1 tablespoon of butter. After that let’s melt your unsweetened chocolate in a bowl, you should stir this while it is melting.
When the chocolate is melted remove the ball from the heat and whisk in the egg yolks until it hardens a bit. In another bowl whisk your egg whites with a pinch of salt, use an electric mixer while adding the 1/3 cup of monk fruit. Just make sure that you at the monk fruit a bit at a time. Now stir approximately 1 cup of your egg whites into the chocolate mixture and then add this mixture to their remaining egg whites. Just mix everything together nicely.

The recipes I am giving you today are: Pepperoni Cheese Baskets, Parmesan Chicken Balls, Chocolate Macadamia Ice Cream, Chocolate Fluff and Fettuccine Alfredo.
Pepperoni Cheese Baskets*
- Ingredients:
- pepperoni – 3 ounces sliced into four
- full fat cream cheese – 4 else’s
- sour cream – 1/4 caught
- garlic – 2 cloves of grated garlic

Mix your full fat cream cheese, sour cream, grated garlic, red bell pepper, Tabasco sauce and salt-and-pepper until it’s combined in nicely. Take a muffin hand that will allow you to make 4 muffins and line the muffin cups with cling wrap. Next place a slice of pepperoni into the bottom each of the muffin cups and evenly divide your cream cheese and sour cream batter into the 4 muffin cups. After that just placed them in refrigerator for at least 1 hour. After about 1 hour they should be firm enough to eat but I like to leave them in there a bit longer so that the flavors really intensified. When you are ready to eat them just remove them from the muffin cups and you can enjoy them with some delicious veggies. Each muffin has approximately 240 calories and 3 grams of carbohydrates.
Parmesan Chicken Balls*
- Ingredients:
- chicken breast – 3 ounces of ground cooked chicken breast
- Parmesan cheese – 1 ounce grated
- cheddar cheese – 1 ounce shredded
- full fat cream cheese – 10 ounces

Start by putting the sour cream and cream cheese into a bowl and mixing them until they are smooth. After that start in the chili sauce, chicken, Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese and salt-and-pepper. Kathy then take a plate and mixed together the cilantro and green onion. Now divide your chicken mixture into 12 equal portions and put them onto the herbs. Gently roll each of the first to form balls and then place them in the refrigerator and give them time to set. This is a really fantastic recipe and has only 124 calories and 1 gram of carbohydrate.

- liquid Stevia extract – 1/4 teaspoon or more depending upon your taste
- macadamia nuts – 1 ounce of chopped academia nuts.
We begin this great recipe by placing all the ingredients, except for the nuts, into a food processor or blender and mix until everything is nice and creamy smooth. After that if you have an ice cream maker just charted the ice cream maker or if you do not have an ice cream maker you could just place it in the freezer. Just make sure that it’s in a freezer proof container. If you do not have an ice cream maker you will have to stir this about every normal 30 minutes or so to make sure that it does not crystallize. Let it freeze until you have the ice cream texture that you like. I usually like to take mine out of the freezer for about a good 15 minutes before serving it. When you are ready you can just sprinkle the chopped macadamia nuts over top of the ice cream. This recipe makes six servings.

Why You Can’t Lose Weight No Matter How Hard You Try? The Real Reason by Philly Diet Dr
If you have been trying to lose weight and no matter what you do you just cannot seem to lose any pounds or inches then this article is a definite must read for you.
In today’s world most of the people are just like you. Everyone is on a diet, everyone is doing low-carb or high fat and no carbohydrates or they are doing a low-calorie diet. And then we have other people that are doing nothing but smoothies and drinking juice all day long. Other people just eat fruit. And then we have people that are vegetarians but they only eat a small amount of vegetables and most of what they eat are starchy carbohydrates like pizza, pasta and rice. In fact most of us eat more bad starchy carbohydrates than any other type of food.
Most of us are eating bread, pasta, rice and potato chips and crackers all day long. Almost all of these foods are not even food. They are products made by man and there are man-made manufactured foods. They are not natural real food. They have nothing but calories and sugar and they provide no nutritional value to you.
Instead of eating all of those potato chips, pasta, bread and pizza eat some carrots, celery, lettuce, cucumber, bell peppers and broccoli.
And the problem is the so-called nutrition experts, the authorities told us along time ago that we should be eating lots of grains. But the problem is when they made this statement and said that this is the way to true health and wellness they really did not do enough research to look into the type of effect it has on our body’s chemistry. Eating nothing but bad starchy carbohydrate type of foods does nothing but increase your blood sugar level. And when your body has excess sugar floating around in your bloodstream your insulin levels go very very high and the only thing that the body can do is to store this excessive amount of sugar ias body fat. And the reason why it does this is because the sugar is very dangerous, It causes a tremendous amount of damage to the various organs and systems of your body.
And if your hormones are not in the proper balance in your body you are just going to be sick and overweight. And honestly it’s not your fault. You were just following the guidelines that have been set forth by the so-called experts in the field of health wellness and nutrition.
So again I want to tell you that if you have been doing everything that you have been told to do and you’re not losing weight it’s not your fault. You have just been given wrong information and wrong instructions and directions. Now in order to truly be healthy you have to get your hormonal levels under control. And one of the easiest things that you can do is to control this by the foods that you are eating
One of the most important hormones in your body that will have an effect on whether you are fit and trim or overweight and fat and sick is insulin. Insulin is one of the most important hormones in your body. When your insulin levels are excessively high they put you into fat storage mode. Meaning everything that you eat is going to be stored his body fat.
This means that in order to stay fit trim and healthy you have to keep your insulin levels at a relatively normal level throughout the course of your day. And the way that you do this is to control the amount of foods that you eat that turn into sugar. And as you may have guessed the type of foods that turn into sugar are your bad starchy carbohydrates that are processed and man-made such as your bread, pasta, rice, pretzels, potato chips and all those other yummy snacks that we love to snack on.
Now of course I am a firm believer in eating good healthy food and that includes lots of vegetables, every color of vegetable and every type. Vegetables are a carbohydrate but they are nutritious healthy carbohydrates that are loaded with good nutrition and healthy fiber that will help to keep us healthy. And if we are healthy most of the time our weight will be controlled.
So for me the perfect diet would consist of lots of vegetables, a modest amount of good healthy protein, a small amount of good healthy fats and a little bit of fruit and your other starchy carbohydrates.
So you see that I am not totally against your starchy carbohydrates like bread and pasta it’s just that I believe that we should be eating much less of these types of food than we are eating in today’s society.
A few paragraphs up, I told you that hormones control your health wellness and the amount of weight fat etc. that you have on your body. And this is another key point because as we get older our amounts of hormones decrease in quantity over the period of time.
And this is the reason why most of us hit a certain age usually somewhere in the mid 30s and we start gaining weight every year. First we may start out just by gaining a couple pounds a year and then that increases to as much as 5 pounds or 10 pounds a year. Then we finally wake up and realize that we are 60 or 70 pounds overweight and we need to do something about it.
You see you when we were younger and we had an abundance of hormones; they helped burn that extra sugar out of our body. They helped keep the insulin at lower levels. But as we get older and our body’s natural hormones level decrease our body is not able to burn up that extra sugar like it did when we were younger.
This is why you are now gaining weight even though you are eating the same type of food, following the same diet plan and even exercising the same way as you did when you were much younger.
Losing weight and being fit and healthy just comes down to eating the right types of food in the proper portion sizes.
And please do not forget that calories do matter.
We have lots of people coming to us from other medical weight loss centers and they were told to eat a high-protein low-carb diet and that they could eat as much meat protein and cheese as they want.
But this is not healthy and it’s not true. Your body can only handle so much protein and process it properly. Excessive amounts of protein do you turn into sugar just like your bread and pasta.
I know some of you were probably reading this article and just shaking your heads in disbelief because if you would have been given this information long ago you would not be overweight now.
So now that you have the right information let’s get you on the right path. Let’s start developing healthy lifestyle habits. Little changes over the course of time that are going to add up to lots of pounds lost and a healthier and more fit you.
Trying to do all of these changes at once can be a little bit overwhelming so I advise you to start out slowly.
If your hormonal system is totally out of balance it’s always a good idea to work with a Weight Loss center. Especially one like ours where we have medical physicians that can assist you with the use of prescription weight-loss medication appetite suppressant medication.
The government has realized that obesity is a major health crisis in this country now. And it’s my belief that that is why the FDA has approved quite a few new weight-loss medications over the past several years.
In the past most weight loss pills were only meant to be taken for a short period of time but now we have newer weight-loss medications that are approved by the FDA for long-term usage.
So while some people may only need to be on the weight-loss medications for short period of time others may need to take them for the rest of their life because of hormonal issues. And that is why the pharmaceutical companies have spent billions of dollars in research and development of these drugs to help with this major health crisis. And that is why the FDA is now approving these weight-loss medications for long-term use.
Now there are certain qualifiers that have to be met in order for the physician to prescribe these medications for you. Some of them are your BMI, your height, your weight, your waist circumference, your pant size, your dress size, if you or family member have the following illnesses: diabetes, heart attack, stroke, cancer, high blood pressure, hypertension, hypothyroidism and sleep apnea – difficulty sleeping
The weight-loss medications to a great job of controlling the appetite and hopefully limiting your cravings but you still have to eat the right types of food to and that is why we spend quite a bit of time reviewing good healthy eating nutrition plans with our weight-loss patients. And getting some exercise – physical activity is also highly recommended.
