Close the lid and cook it until there is no pink remaining. When everything is finally cooked just remove the turkey from the skewers.

Place the bread halves cut side up on a large baking sheet. Broil the bread 6 inches from the heat for about 2 minutes plus or  minus 4 minutes or for as long as it takes for the bread to become toasted. Then just spread the vegetable mixture into the bottom half of the loaf. Top with the steak strips and the cheese.

Then place the loaf top over the filling to serve and cut this to make 6 portions. Each sandwich has approximately 340 cal and 34 g of carbohydrates.

Italian Meatball Rolls

Ingredients:

• 1 medium onion – chopped
• 2 cloves of minced garlic cloves
• 8 ounce can of no salt added tomato sauce sauce
• 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar

• 1/2 teaspoon of dried crushed oregano
• 8 ounces of refrigerated Italian style cooked turkey meatballs – 8 meatball sliced in half
• 4 whole-wheat hotdog buns
• 1/2 cup of shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
• fresh oregano

This is a really good recipe and tastes exactly like my great grandma would make when we lived in South Philadelphia.

Start by preheating your broiler and coat an unheated large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Preheat this over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, onion and garlic to the hot skillet and cook for  anywhere from 7 – 10 minutes until it becomes tender making sure that you are stirring this. Add the tomato sauce, balsamic vinegar, rosemary and dried oregano. Bring this to boiling and then reduce the heat.

Simmer this covered for approximately 2 minutes then stir in the meatballs and cook for approximately 5 minutes or more until the meatballs are heated all the way through. 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. If you like you can even  sprinkled the fresh oregano over top. This makes 4 servings each of them has approximately 340 cal and 35 g of carbohydrates.

Cook this for approximately 2 minutes or until the bread becomes toasted. Make sure that you toast both sides of the Panini evenly. Be careful not to burn yourself.

• Topamax
• Topiramate
• Contrave
• Saxenda
• Xenical

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. The most common side effects that we see from people taking phentermine are: dry mouth, more energy, decrease in appetite, decreased cravings, and constipation.

And when you come in for your weight-loss consultation we will definitely have this discussion with you.

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.

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. When the fish is totally cooked just serve it with your green mayonnaise. If you are going to use your oven, instead of a grill, just preheat your oven to 375°F and place your salmon filet in your broiler pan and bake the salmon for about 20 minutes or as long as it takes for the salmon to cook totally through.

Remember do not place the woodchips in the oven, that is definitely a no-no.
