Doctor Loses Over 30 lbs With Medical Weight Loss Philadelphia
In our medical weight loss program most of our patients lose 2 – 5 pounds per week. They lose all this weight by eating delicious tasty food. And on our weight-loss program you eat real food that you would normally buy at the supermarket. You do not have to spend hundreds of dollars on pre-packaged meals like many other weight-loss programs.
In fact using our own medical weight loss program I have lost quite a bit of weight myself. You see I suffered a significant back injury a while back from a car accident. And these injuries caused me to suffer pain all day long and severely limited my physical activity.
Suffice to say I just got fatter and fatter.
Finally after being diagnosed with Diabetes, I realized that I had to make lots of changes and get myself together. So in the beginning of this year, 2015, I made the promise to myself and my wife that I would follow our medical weight loss program exactly as I teach all of our wonderful patients.
And I am happy to say that I have lost quite a bit of weight following our medical weight loss program. It makes me even happier to fit into clothing that has been in the back of my closet for years.
Because of my Diabetes I decided to follow a program that really controlled the sugar in my diet. This is the same program that I give all of our Diabetic patients to do.
Not only did I lose weight, but now at 3 months into the program my blood sugar levels are normal.
I definitely appreciated all of the recipes and menus that we provide our weight loss patients because they made my losing weight easy – I just had to follow the plan – and the food and recipes we give our weight loss patients are delicious. So losing weight was simple, delicious and easy. All I had to do was follow the plan.
The Phentermine works really well at controlling hunger and cravings so it’s easy to follow the plan when you are never really hungry.
One thing I did make sure was that my first meal of the day consisted of delicious protein. This pushed my body into fat burning mode and not fat storing mode.
It’s funny that in our weight loss program we make you eat to lose weight… While other weight loss programs have you starve yourself to lose weight.
So here are 8 yummy recipes that I enjoyed on my weight loss journey. I have them labeled as breakfast but you can eat them anytime of the day for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
These recipes are taken from the book The 100: Count Only Sugar Calories Diet Book by Jorge Cruise. It’s a great book and has lots of low sugar recipes. I definitely recommend you read it.

3 Weight Loss Recipes to Satisfy the Biggest Appetite by Medical Weight Loss Philadelphia
If you are one of our medical weight loss patients you know that I am always trying new recipes that will make losing weight delicious, simple easy and fun. And if I may say so myself I have done a fantastic job in finding and experimenting with these 3 recipes. My favorite is the smoothie recipe because not only is this delicious but it totally satisfied my hunger. So in our efforts to have our weight loss patients lose 2 – 5 pounds a week here are the recipes:
Dr. Kenny’s Ultimate Weight Loss Smoothie: I just made this for breakfast this morning and it is one of the best tasting smoothies that I have ever had.
Ingredients:
- 2 ounces of any non-dairy milk product like unsweetened almond milk – hazelnut or coconut milk.
- 2 ounces of heavy cream.
- 1 scoop of our Solutions-4 protein powder that is sugar-free and is very low in carbohydrates.
- 1 tablespoon of either almonds butter or melted coconut oil.
- 1 handful of kale.
- 2 tablespoons of flaxseeds.
- 1/4 cup of blueberries – optional. The blueberries are optional. I made the smoothie for my wife with blueberries because she likes things to be sweet tasting. But I made mine without the blueberries because I am trying to keep my blood sugar levels as low as possible.
- Combine all of the ingredients into a blender and blend until nice and smooth.
- This is a fantastic recipe because it gives you good healthy protein, good healthy omega-3 fats and a nice dose of healthy nutrients and antioxidants from the kale and blueberries.
Egg Drop Soup*
Ingredients:
- 6 cups of low-sodium chicken broth
- 4 teaspoons of reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 clove of garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground white pepper
- 2 medium carrots
- 1/2 cup frozen baby peas
- 8 teaspoons cornstarch
- 4 eggs
- 2 green onions sliced
Instructions:
In a large saucepan combine 5 cups of the broth, the soy sauce, garlic and pepper. Bring them to a boil. Thinly slice the carrots and add them to the broth. Add the peas to the broth and return to boiling. Stirring the cornstarch into the remaining 1 cup of broth, stir into soup. Reduce the heat and cook and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly, cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat. Place eggs in a liquid measuring, and use a fork to beat the eggs. While gently stirring the broth, pour the eggs in a thin stream into the soup. The eggs will perform fine shreds.
This is a delicious low carbohydrate recipe that gives you plenty of good healthy protein and healthy fat. In order to keep my body weight down and also to keep my blood sugar levels down I eat this at least once a day. And I actually prefer it better with out the baby peas and carrots. But that is just my personal taste; my children actually enjoy it with the carrots and baby peas. So that’s all up to your personal taste. Again this is an awesome recipe if you are trying to lose weight because it gives you a good amount of protein and good omega-3 fats. I hope you enjoy this recipe is much as I do. *This recipe was taken from the “ultimate diabetes cookbook” and this is a better homes and Gardens book.
Olive and Mushroom Frittata*
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 cup of sliced fresh cremini mushrooms
- 2 cups of coarsely shredded fresh Swiss chard or spinach
- 1 large shallot thinly sliced
- 4 eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 2 teaspoons of fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/8 teaspoon of salt 1/4 cup of thinly sliced pitted Kalamata olives
- 1/3 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese

Then add the Swiss chard or spinach and cook for approximately 5 minutes or until the mushrooms and chart are tender, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, egg whites, rosemary, pepper and salt. Pour the egg mixture over vegetables in the skillet. Then cook over medium heat. Add the mixture sets run a spatula around the edge of the skillet, lifting the egg mixture so the uncooked portion flows underneath. Continue cooking and lifting edges until the egg mixture is almost set and the surface is just slightly moist. Sprinkle with the olives, and then add the cheese over top of everything. Broil for approximately 4 inches from the heat for about 2 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and the center is set you should let this stand for 5 minutes. This makes 4 servings. *This recipe was taken from the “ultimate diabetes cookbook” and this is a better homes and Gardens book.
