ORIGINAL: NuevaVida It is my opinion that even if a master/dom is not overweight, he/she ought to educate him/herself on healthy eating before helping a slave/submissive diet, or it won't work anyway. All those crash diets out there serve to drop pounds but they don't teach people how to eat, so people gain the weight back. Not everyone is educated on healthy weight loss, so to decide someone is fit to "cure" someone else's weight problem just because they themselves aren't fat. My owner is only a few pounds overweight, but if I ate what he did (even smaller portions of it) I would not have lost all the weight I lost. He is certainly fit to master me, even though he is not educated in the ways of eating. I don't need him to be educated in everything in life. I need him to know me, love me, and lead us in our relationship. i'm with you completely on the statement in bold. proper education in nutrition and exercise is important, and one shouldn't assume that someone has that knowledge simply because they aren't overweight. but i don't think anyone made that claim exactly. i wouldn't assume a man to be a fitness expert because he happened to be of a healthy weight...but i would assume that at least in the area of weight, he was able to maintain some kind of self-discipline. but if i actually needed help in losing weight, then yes it would be crucial that he would have the education and knowledge to do so. you said you need your Master to lead you both in the relationship. well i need that too, but i also need direct guidance in very specific areas. and obviously in order for that to happen, he has to be knowledgeable enough in those areas in order to instruct me as well as keep me on the proper path. it's a demanding job, but then it's not as if i actually need all of the knowledge he has available to provide (for instance, i have no need to ever learn how to balance a checkbook or file taxes)...our focus is only in those areas which will help me grow as his slave. in relation to this thread, my Master does happen to be somewhat of a fitness buff, who works out intensely 4-5X a week on average. He is also well-versed in proper nutrition, and taught me early on what types of foods to prepare for us and how. meals are always well-balanced, we snack on tons of veggies and fruit, and though occasionally cooking can be time-consuming, the results more often than not tend to be pretty delicious, if i say so myself. so i definitely trust him in helping me to maintain a healthy weight. for me, having a supportive partner just wouldn't be enough...i need the demanding Drill Sgt, behind me cracking the whip every inch of the way.
