“So this is the deal. I want to see you at 185 by the first of the month (4 weeks away, a 10-pound loss). You are restricted to 1200 calories per day
Your trainer sucks. He may have been a good top, but that's a recipe for burning muscle, not fat.
quote:
I was allowed three meals a day and two pieces of fruit mid-morning and mid-afternoon. I was to do my hour of cardio before eating anything in a day, and I was not permitted to eat after 8pm at night. I was most certainly hungry almost all the time, since I was maintaining a very active workout schedule—daily workouts of at least 1.5 hours—but I knew he was correct, that such strictness was necessary. I also was highly motivated by the idea that he and I would have sex once I “made weight.”
Okay, your trainer *really* sucks. You needed to be getting more complex "slow burn" carbs like raw oats, sweet potato and brown rice and less fruit during a cutting cycle to even out your insulin/glucagon response instead of spiking it with simple sugars. If you make one of your five daily meals nothing but simple sugars and a little fiber (eg, a piece of fruit) instead of being protein based, it's not productive at all for cutting fat. Also, WTF was he thinking with 60 minutes of cardio plus 90 minutes on the weights AND running a basal kcal deficit of over 2,000? Catabolism city, a recipe for losing as much muscle as fat.
quote:
Having only lost 5 pounds in three weeks and therefore 5 pounds away from goal with only a week to lose it, he said to me casually, “Let’s see how you do with no food tomorrow. Nothing for 24 hours. And I think on days when you aren’t lifting you should do an extra half-hour of cardio, just to get that fat off you.” [...] I almost passed out in the afternoon from very profound fatigue, but after sleeping for about 2 hours, the hunger pangs and exhaustion passed and the next morning I had actually lost 3 pounds on the scale.
Of glycogen and muscle. I promise. Did I mention that your trainer sucks? Body fat is the last thing to get burned with a routine like that. This guy may have been a hot top, but he was a total waste of oxygen in the gym. If you want to lose muscle and almost *no* fat, follow this routine and that is what you will get. The scale means jack shit; you needed to check your body recomposition progress with calipers or better yet water displacement to get an accurate picture of how your percentages of lean body mass and fat mass were shifting. Hint: if what you are doing is decreasing your lean body mass and not doing much to your body fat, you're doing it wrong.
quote:
That was the point at which I was restricted to 1000 calories per day, with the standard one-day weekly fast, and my diet was now to be stripped of nearly all carbohydrates, leaving me as many vegetables as I wanted, along with at least 100 g of protein per day. I was permitted coffee but no sugar. Likewise, no more rice, potatoes, bread, starches of any kind, really—nothing but meat, broiled or grilled, vegetables/salad and water. Lots of water—3-4 liters per day. I was permitted one tablespoon of olive oil for my salad but no other fats of any kind –no butter, no nuts, no other oils.
Okay, the basic composition of this diet is fine, it's a SKD (standard ketogenic diet) for cutting, but WAY THE FUCK too low on the calories and the protein. And fasting is Right Out if you want to lose fat and preserve lean body mass.
quote:
When I achieved goal—10% bodyfat, at 179, with 161 lean pounds (losing some more muscle but more fat)—he made good on his promise and we began a sexual relationship since I was now “in acceptable condition.”
Ya know what? You would have made 10% or lower bodyfat a hell of a lot faster and lost very little muscle if you had followed a proper bodybuilder's diet and workout routine instead of this insane and counterproductive crap. Either your top intended to delay you along the way for sadistic fun, or he is abysmally ignorant about bodybuilding.
quote:
I began to become a little afraid of endangering my health—though I really was in the best shape of my life—and I also could feel that as bizarre and extreme as this had become—all of it a secret from everyone who knew us—it was also sort of losing the “oomph.”
Well, at least you started to get a clue even if he never had one. I hope you didn't wreck your metabolism too badly.
Feel free to hop on over to the alt_fitness group over on Yahoo groups to chat more on the subject of pervy/GLBT oriented body recomposition; it's pretty much what the group is for, and I moderate it.

) but from what I have seen this idea happens a bit in reference to those who give themselves over as slaves (well at least I know of some rt who do this). And as a control kink it definately has merits (would drive me nutty but each to thier own)
