Hey Mr. Dolce,

How come you make what seems to be outlandish claims of insert fighter here has cut an extreme amount of weight or has bulked up with crazy amount of muscle in short period of time under your guidance but lack Weight scale pics?  

Furthermore can we start to see the weight scale pics so we can put the doubt to rest with actual fact number weight of fighters you are coaching, thanks again.

Not sure what you're talking about. We don't make outlandish claims wer'e simply tweeting or showing pictures in a 'fly on the wall inside our camps. The claims may seem outlandish because you are not used to seeing what we do every day.

For example, with Thiago Alves in Sydney, we posted video of him on the scale the night before weigh-ins 177, morning of weighins 171 in his hotel room, official ufc weighins 170, on his scale a few hours after weighins 197 and before he left for the venue on fight day 195.
Don't think we can do any better.

We are often filmed during fight week and many of these stories are documented on the UFC behind the scenes option on the dvds.

Thanks for clearing that up, and thanks for the other info on other peoples questions.

GROUNDnLB -  I eat relatively healthy, but I do have a sweet tooth. I make relatively healthy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. (Healthy compared to store bought)

Is there truly a huge difference between 100% whole wheat flour and unbleached?

Also, is gluten the devil, or is it something I don't really need to cut out?

Recipe for said healthy oatmeal cc cookies? This thread is making me hungry:(

I sub raisins for the chocolate, but that thar am's a goodin ' !

what a great read. Thanks Dolce! Great podcast. Just had my sister order living lean!

Thanks again to all that makes this happen, if you can afford it I suggest you buy a blue name to support the UG, and to continue to offer us such outstanding opportunities like this and the UG meet ups with Dana.

Well done to Kirik, Dolce, and all involved for this effort.

If someone knows nothing about weight loss and working out, how should they proceed?

I don't want to continue to be accussed of smooching your asss, but I need to again. Thank you Kirik for putting this together, and to Dolce for giving us his valuable knowledge & input and contagious positive attitude.

Ok, I'm done :-)

(and thank you Rick Storm as well)

Have you heard of FitnessVT.com? If so, what's your opinion of this system?

 

Cindy

Hi Cindy, I have heard of Fitness VT. Their system seems to be clean as far as I can tell from their website. I have not seen their meal plans or complete philosophies. Their approach seems to be honest but their price seems to be very high.
You can obtain my books THE DOLCE DIET LIVING LEAN or the LIVING LEAN COOKBOOK for $9.99 on iTunes & Kindle and not have to spend another dime on a lifer plan again.
Fitness VT charges from $40 per month to over $300 per month.
I'm not trying to plug my books or bash what may be a good program but highlighting options. We have over 4,500 testimonials favorited on my twitter account @TheDolceDiet from people who are losing dozens to over 100 pounds from just reading one book.

I wanted to say, for everyone, that we appreciate your time and energy and advice. Thanks a million for the knowledge and inspiration.

Cindy

1 cup low fat margerine (melted)
2 eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp vanilla
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup truvia (or another natural sweetener)
1 cup unbleached flour
2 cups quick oats
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup chocolate chips

Mix it up in that order, put dough on a non stick pan, bake at 350 Celcius for 15-19 minutes, depending on the size of your cookies. (Bake until slightly golden brown on top)

This recipe is 20% the saturated fat of a normal choc chip cookie.

Happy eating!

Dayum, those sound yummy right about now! Not using real butter or sugar will be a big change. Do they taste different than traditional oatmeal chocolate chip cookies? Thanks:)

Snufulufugus - Hi Mike,

Thanks for doing this. I know you are proud of what you do...as you should be. It is a great gift to be able to lead people towards a path of better health. With so many things that we can not control, nutrition seems to a fundamental component to our health and lifestyle that we can direct.

With that said, being a single father and working full time, I am finding it hard to keep fresh produce in the fridge. I am trying to teach my 4 year old son to eat clean. Every morning i start the day with supplement called green vibrance ( purchased on amazon).

Mike, can you comment on using these plant powders as a supplement? Also, can you please point me towards some foods/meals you feel a four year old would have interest in?

Thank you again and I do look forward to reading your books.

Dan

Any literature you would recommend nutrition-wise?

And how'd you become the "weight cut guru?"

Thanks!

Read everything! Learn from all experiences.
Some of my strongest research comes from the fields of ultra-distance training and native species.
