I got this article from a Diabetes Daily. It was written by Elizabeth Edelman
In the months leading up to our wedding (almost 2 years ago!), I was on a low carb diet. I ate around 55-80 grams of carbohydrates per day and dropped weight faster than I could have imagined. Now, I’m not a big person by any means, but these recipes are enough to satisfy even the biggest appetite.
- Bacon and eggs. Sure, this one’s a classic. But there’s a reason that it’s everyone’s go-to, low-carb breakfast. It’s delicious, easy to make, and has zero carbs per serving. With the high protein and high fat content of this yummy combination, you’re sure to stay satisfied for hours.
Cantaloupe and cottage cheese. Yes, fruit has carbs in it. But one cup of sliced cantaloupe has only 16g of carbohydrates. And the protein and calcium you’re getting from the cottage cheese is through the roof. Plus, your sweet tooth can get satisfied at the same time. It’s the perfect combination.- Low-carb tortillas with scrambled eggs, cheese, salsa and jalapenos. If you’re craving a breakfast burrito, look no further than this tasty dish. All you do is scramble the eggs with jalapeno. Put the eggs and jalapeno in the tortilla, top with cheese and salsa and you’ve got a delicious and healthy breakfast. The carb total is dependent on the tortillas you use, but when I made this, I bolused for 20g of carbohydrates.

Filed under Our Program - FAQFeb 14Unfortunately over the past two years our costs for medications, shots, foods and facilities have gone up. We have not passed any of these costs to you, however now we must. The total cost of a weight loss visit with shots would go up only about $5.00 to $6.00. We apologize but still know that our prices are very competitive (a new patient visit at one of our competitor is $300, ours is about $180). Please click here to see our new prices.

Medical Weight Loss – Call us if you are struggling
Filed under Natural Weight Loss, Weight Loss TipsFeb 6As we move forward I will share more patient success stories of what works. One confusing thing to me, is when I make a check in call and people tell me they are frustrated because the pill is not working, or they are not losing weight fast enough. Some even say they are so frustrated they are not coming back. Some even quit the program because phentermine makes them jittery. First off, why didn’t they call and tell us they were having a problem. If you took your car to the shop for a new transmission, and a week later your car was still “acting up” you would call the mechanic and take your car back in. Weight loss is all about chemistry and hormones, if it were easy there would be no need for specialist. Take a look at the link below to see how complex the hormone and neurotransmitter system that regulates weight is…..Its way more than eating less and exercise.
THE HORMONE SYSTEM IS THAT CONTROLS WEIGHT
When you come to this clinic you are paying for our expertise. CALL US IF THERE IS A PROBLEM – WE WILL MAKE ADJUSTMENTS. If the pills making you jittery, we have 3 other diet pill options (Bontril, Didrex, and Tennuate) and short and long acting pills (I take pill called Didrex where the only thing I feel is appetite suppression no jitter or rush)
If you are not losing weight send us your food journal. Today a frustrated patient who thought they were doing everything right sent us a 3 day journal. Dr. Valentine went through her meds to make sure she was not taking other pills like anti depressants or steroids that cause weight gain (so does Benadryl). We then went through the journal item by item and realized she had been eating double her carb number. I sent back an analysis with solutions. The case below is about a lady frustrated because she felt hungry because the pill stopped working

Weight Loss Warriors
As a warrior in the battle against weight. You need to stock yourself with weapons for this war and be prepared. The real soldiers who protect our lives do not go to battle with just one weapon they have a backup weapon. I want you to start thinking about getting yourself a backup breakfast. That’s right a backup breakfast. With our busy lives it is sometimes hard to prepare a good low-carb breakfast, so I’ve listed a couple of things you can go out and buy to make a quick breakfast and under three minutes.
- Cornerstone Shake – This can be made in 3o sec with a hand blender (see the quick breakfast article). This shake is the tastiest medical protein shake around. Its high in protein and low carb. Our pateints who lose the most weight are on the Cornerstone Meal Replacement plan and a significant number of pateints uses shake for breakfast only.
Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowls – many people who come into the weight-loss clinic are shocked to see Jimmy Dean and the light breakfast bowls on my desk. Go out and get 10 of them right now. Put half of them in your freezer at home at take the other 5 to work. Building up supply of food at work is good for when you have to run out of the house.- Jimmy Dean Omelets
Greek Yogurt (fruit Flavored) and Almonds – Make sure your protein and carbs are equal. Some brands like Yoplait and Dannon are too high in Sugar. Stonyfield Oikos, Athenos, and Kroeger brands works.- Greek Yogurt (Plain) and Almonds & Fruit
- Meal Replacement Bar - When selecting a meal replacement bar make sure its one where the protein and carbs are equal. Many people have accidentally bought high-carb “protein” bars that were for body builders. We have the Weight Sense Meal replacement bar (4 carbs) that is perfect for a quick breakfast. If you eat a meal replacement bar you must eat again in about 2 hours. If you don’t you will probably over eat at lunch or dinner.

As part of your medically supervised weight loss program we want you to workout daily. Studies show that you need a 60 minute walk daily or 30 minutes of something more intense daily to lose weight and keep it off. you can break your workout up as long as you workout in increments of 10 minutes or more. Lunchtime is a great time to sneak in a quick workout. The link below has a detailed article on how you must plan for lunchtime workouts. Here is an excerpt from the article:

Lose Weight Quick 100 % Natural – Valentine Weight Loss
Filed under Natural Weight Loss, Weight Loss TipsJan 28LOSE WEIGHT SAFELY WITH THE CORNERSTONE MEAL REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
If you want to lose 10-20 lbs* quickly or 50 – 100 long term, this is your best option. People who get lap band or bariatric bypass surgery are put on diets similar to Cornerstone so they can lose weight and shrink their liver before surgery. You can read about the program by clicking the link below or you can watch the video below.
Cornerstone Information Packet
The major reason why 95% of low calorie diets don’t result in long term fat loss is that with significant calorie restriction muscle tissue is lost along with fat. Because the metabolic rate at which one burns calories at rest is primarily dependent on the existing amount of muscle, any loss of muscle on a low calorie diet would therefore sabotage any fat loss efforts.
The best way to combat this fat loss sabotage is to consume more protein during dieting which will largely prevent muscle from being depleted. Protein has a much higher appetite blocking effect compared with fat or carbohydrates. The best way to take in large amounts of protein without significantly increasing intake of fat or carbohydrate is with the use of high protein meal replacement milk shakes. Every single scientific study has shown that diets based on the use of two high protein meal replacement shakes results in greater long term weight loss, less hunger, better compliance and greater health benefits than low calorie diets with food alone.
In addition to a high protein meal replacement program, there are certain nutritional supplements which can aid in fat loss efforts and ensure maintenance of good energy levels and overall healthfulness.

The individual cost of being obese is $4,879 and $2,646 for women and men respectively, and adding the value of lost life to these annual costs produces even more dramatic results: $8,365 and $6,518 annually for women and men, respectively. The analysis demonstrates costs are nine times higher for women and six times higher for men who are obese, which is defined as an individual with a Body Mass Index (BMI) more than 30, than for an overweight person, which is defined as someone with a BMI between 25-29. The findings also reveal a significant difference between the impact of obesity on men and women when it comes to job-related costs, including lost wages, absenteeism and disability. The cost figures are based on increased medical costs for obesity and its related conditions like high blood pressure, and diabetes. It also includes the increased healthcare premiums based on BMI, fuel costs, and lost wages. Because many people have health insurance through their jobs they do pay the full $3000 – $4800 directly, but these cost must affect wages. To read the full report click here.
