Here in Minnesota I can tell spring is coming because the sun sets a little later every day. I leave work at 5 p.m. and last week it was pitch black walking out to the car. This week has brought a surprising change, it is not quite that dark! I know, it’s the little things in life …
Time to start on that biker body?
This got me thinking about riding my motorcycle. Which lead to getting back into exercising and eating right. And then, I found a copy of this diet. A friend received this from a doctor several years ago. The first time I looked it over I thought she was kidding. Believe it or not neither she nor her doctor meant this as a joke.
Dr. McGillicutty’s Diet
No sweets
No snacks
No seconds
Smaller helpings
Smaller bites
Chew more
Eat slowly
Drink a glass of water 1/2 hour prior to a meal to stretch the stomach, which lowers the appetite when you are ready to sit down to eat.
NO EXCUSES!
Watch out for the word, BUT, it usually means an excuse is coming.
Weigh yourself daily and record it.
Continue to weigh yourself even when you get to your “ideal” weight to keep from regaining the weight you worked so hard to lose.
You should be able to lose at least one pound per week on this diet.
Personally, I have not tried this diet! My friend lost over 60 pounds quite a while ago. She has kept the weight off by continuing to follow this diet!
Bon Appetit!
Disclaimer: Try at your own risk. Wisdom would dictate that if you need to lose weight seek doctor’s advice before starting any diet and/or exercise program.
My name is Pam and I am so glad you stopped by today to read Time to Start on that Biker Body? I started this blog to document my journey into motorcycling and along the way I met so many other lady riders with inspiring stories to tell I began to share theirs as well.
About the same time I started this blog I joined Twitter (@helmetorheels) and began to meet other female motorcycle riders. These ladies were so inspiring to me because I found other newbies like me to life-long experienced riders who were willing to share encouragement, tips, and their friendship. I was welcomed where I was on my journey. What an incredible community I found online to fuel my desire to ride.

The best way to have a healthy body is to accept and to start loving the form we are given by nature (not everybody can be a Barbie), and do some exercise like walking. Come on, where would be the fun in life if you would follow this nazi-like dictate, and live by the rule of the scale. Fries with that? Yes please, and make it extra greasy.
ROFL! Super-size me and I’ll take a diet with that! I think many of us know when it is time to adjust the food in-take and when to enjoy the food and company.
This diet is pre computer – typed out!
Someone just sent this to me! I had to add it here …
A bald, wizened little man was rocking in a chair on his porch, smiling happily. A passerby, charmed by his smile, came up to him and said, “I couldn’t help noticing how happy you look. What’s your secret for a long happy life?”
“I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day,” he said with a toothless grin. “I drink a case of whiskey a week, eat fast food, and never exercise.”
“No way! How old are you?”
“Twenty-six.”
