So you're not really talking about a submissive, but about a live-in/partner type deal? I am all for taking anyone's dietary requirements into account, but if I read you right you're talking about a lifestyle change, and R/T living together. That has little to do with D/s. Or am I missing something here?

I would alter it...but not all. I would make her food as she needs it...but I will demand my desert once in a while.
I think their should be some caution in the beginning..not eating sweets around her..or so..but in time..she must know that not every oen can give up things because she is ill.
Think their should be soem mutual understanding

MzMia sounds like you’re going great. Congratulations on losing 20 pounds.

I’m a vegetarian. I don’t aspect anyone I’m with submissive or otherwise to have to eat a meal with no meat in it. I do aspect them to have enough sides (meatless) so that I’ll be able to eat a decent meal. I also don’t aspect the people I live with to be vegetarian, I do aspect them to make sure that I have a balanced meal if they are doing the cooking.

Wonderful answer!
I am sure your submissive would prepare you a sugary dessart and enjoy it while she eats her
sugar-free jello {which I eat often for dessert}.

Well, I am also a vegetarian.
But, I have been bad!
MzMia loves CARBS {pasta, potatoes, popcorn, rice, bread, did I say pasta?}
I am going through some serious changes, but I have to do it.
Thanks for the post.

I am a Pre- Diabetic, who has blood sugar that can drop and rise
quickly. {Hypoglycemic}
I do not want to become a diabetic, so this is something I will have to watch
the rest of my life.
I am exercising more, losing the 20 pounds, and more importantly
changing my dietary habits.
 
Okay Masters!
Question!  What IF you have a submissive that had to alter the way she ate the rest of her life?
 
Would you be willing to drastically change how you ate, so that you could both be healthier?
Would you cut down on sugar, rice, potatos, pasta, all damn carbs in general, etc. and support your partner by willing to eat the way she has to eat?

Would she have to fix and prepare your meals one way, and her meals another way?
Often, having to create seperate meals?
Would you go ahead and live as IF you had the same dietary restrictions?
 
These dietary changes and restrictions are not limited to pre-diabetes or diabetes, but also
those with high blood pressure, and those trying to lose weight or maintain weight loss, and
also people that are trying to just eat healthier!

How are you gonna support your submissive?
Truth please

My Gorean master husband was diabetic and 40 lbs. heavier when we first moved in together. I am an avid nutritionist and use herbals in my practice on a daily basis. He was eager to learn of ways to balance his blood sugar without resorting to medications and by doing so, he was able to lose weight despite the fact he's an over the road trucker.

Now, we compromise--he doesn't eat sushi but he will eat his fish cooked. I have added a few alternative sweetners to my diet so we have desserts we can both share. And neither of us touch soda in any form--diet or otherwise--especially since studies are showing it is a major cause of problems for diabetics.

Anytime you live with someone it's a matter of give and take. Motivation and caring about the other person is the best way to go anytime you are trying to work out day to day living and dining.

Blessings,
Sage
