In our medical weight loss program located in Philadelphia and Bucks County Pennsylvania you get to eat real delicious food all while losing weight.

Add the egg mixture to the chocolate along with the cocoa and coconut flour. Fold to incorporate all of the ingredients well.Spoon the batter into the prepared ramekins so they are about half full.Transfer the ramekins to a baking sheet and bake for 12 – 15 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still soft.

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.

Guide To Successful Weight Loss
In our weight-loss program it is recommended that you eat your first meal within the first 60 minutes of waking up. This is important because this first meal will provide fuel for your body to carry on throughout the day. If you do not eat within the first 60 minutes of waking up it will adversely affect the hormonal and chemical systems of your body. Your body will actually think that you are starving and as such you will tend to store the calories consumed throughout the rest of the day as fat. If you are not a breakfast person you may just eat a cup of sugar free yogurt and a cup of fruit or one of our Meal Replacement Shakes. Now remember just eating fruit alone is not recommended. You must have a small portion of protein for breakfast in order to set your body in fat burning mode for the day. This is why the Meal Replacement shake is ideal.
After breakfast I would recommend that you eat a meal or snack every 3 to 4 hours.
It is also recommended that you do not eat past 7 PM or 8 PM. This is because the mobility of the stomach tends to decrease significantly after 7 PM. Therefore, the majority of the calories consumed past 7 PM are usually stored as fat on the body. If you must eat past 7 PM I would ask that you eat vegetables and a very lean protein. Do not eat starch carbohydrates containing any type of flour or wheat.
In addition to your recommended diet / nutritional food program I would ask that you try to eat 2 pounds of vegetables daily. I would suggest that you eat 1 pound of raw vegetables and 1 pound of cooked vegetables. Raw vegetables include leafy green vegetables, lettuces, spinach, celery, cucumbers, etc. One or two large salads during the day will make it easy to consume a pound of raw vegetables daily. I also recommend that each every day you have with you a Ziploc bag filled with celery, carrots, cucumbers, peppers and any other types of vegetables that you enjoy. Now if you do get hungry during the day just open up your Ziploc bag and you can eat as many of these vegetables as you would like.
7 to 9 hours of sleep are recommended each every night. This is because your body actually metabolizes or burns your fat while you are sleeping. So if you do not have an adequate amount of sleep you will not burn as much fat and you will not lose as much weight as you should be losing on this program.
A common side effect of the medication is constipation. If you do experience constipation Miralax is recommended as well as sugar-free Metamucel.
It is also recommended that you drink approximately 64 ounces of water every day.
The following teas are recommended to assist with your weight loss: Yerbamate assists in metabolizing fat, Green Tea assist in metabolizing fat and Eleotin. Start by just drinking one cup of tea a day of any of the three teas listed. You can add more cups of tea if you would like.
Instead of skipping a meal have – Herbalogica Meal Replacement Shake – You need to eat to lose weight.
Foods to Avoid:
Stay away from all types of cream in your coffee because cream has a tremendous amount of calories. Avoid all types of sugar. As long as there is any type of sugar in your body your body will not burn fat. Avoid dried fruit as it contains empty calories and a tremendous amount of sugar. Fruit juice purchased at the store must say no sugar added. I would prefer that you only drink freshly squeezed juices. Alcohol is to be avoided. Alcohol adversely affects your liver and other systems of the body and can actually inhibit the fat burning systems of your body for several days. Do not eat any type of food containing wheat, flour or rice past 7 PM. Slim fast is not recommended contains lots of sugar.
