Weight Loss and a Healthy, Happy Life in Florham Park, NJ
Do you feel like you are constantly struggling with weight loss and nutrition? Staying on track with diet can be difficult but I’m here to help with options that have been proven to work and backed up by happy patients. My patients have not only lost weight but treated serious health conditions and stayed on a consistent path while keeping a healthy relationship with food.
Dr. Bijal Dave and Methods to Lose Weight
I am a bariatrician, which is defined as a medical weight loss doctor who specializes in the treatment of obesity and its associated conditions with non-surgical methods. Based on a person’s goal weight and current medical conditions, I use a variety of the following methods tailored for each patient:
- Optimization of current medications, removal/substitution of obesogenic medications if appropriate
- Prescribe weight loss medication
- Diet advice
- Meal planning (upon request)
- Treatment of phycological conditions that might be contributing to emotional eating
- Employment of intermittent fasting
Weight Loss Success Among My Patients
My patients have succeeded by achieving their goals, sticking to a healthy plant based diet, and living an active life. By focusing on clean eating and the methods I employ, past patients have lost up to 115 pounds, battled obesity, and have even reduced or eliminated the need for insulin. There are numerous conditions that differ from person to person and I will work directly with you to ensure each method is correct for your lifestyle.
Eating Clean is Simple
Eating clean is a way to not only eliminate food that’s not good for you but it allows individuals to embrace endless amounts of nature’s plant powered nutrition. Fruits and vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, and whole grains make for creative, delicious meals everyday. I try to encourage my patients to steer clear of processed foods, fried foods, and foods that are high in saturated fats or sodium.
A Few Recipes to Try:
Breakfast:
Orange Cardamom Pecan Muffins – High fiber, healthy fats, protein packed, spices that aid in digestion, hold anti-inflammatory effects, and can reduce blood pressure

Cool Cucumber Gazpacho Recipe – Avocado has heart healthy monounsaturated fats, plant based milk provides protein, and mint helps to improve digestion
Dinner:
Spicy Braised Tofu – Has heart healthy fats, high in protein, magnesium, helps to strengthen bones, aids in maintaining cholesterol levels
Heart Healthy Methods for Florham Park Residents
As you can see from the recipes shared, heart healthy nutrients can come from all sources. My meal plans encourage plants that are not only delicious but carefully chosen to heal from the inside out. In addition to diet, staying active is an incredibly important part of our methods. Florham Park finds all sorts of ways to keep the community active and healthy. There is a municipal pool with membership options, great for swimming laps. Florham Park offers a variety of recreational leagues, not just for children, but adults too! These include men’s softball and yoga classes. There’s a Trader Joe’s with lots of vegetarian and vegan options. A Chop’t Creative Salad spot for lunch, and Jungle Juice bars in the nearby surrounding areas.
