TheAssMurderer - Slow metabolism is common with age. You can also speed your metabolism up through regular exercise. Also a balanced diet of earth grown nutrients will certainly allow you to make progress. Yes we have the DolceDiet living lean which has recipes and workout programs and we also have the living mean cookbook which is the companion book to living in all there are a bad 180 recipes. Quinoa chia seeds avocado kale red grapes Actually, that was a one time promotion but it sounds like fun! For limited time we will give a free T-shirt to everyone that it's a worthy review on Amazon or iTunes. |

RobinHood - Hey Mike, MCT or medium chain triglycerides and coconut oil are amazing. I first learned about the powerful benefits of MCT oil in the early 1990s from John Parillo. Parrillo was ahead of the time in those days preaching the benefits of MCT oils, like coconut oil. Parrillo even had his own line and I believe still does to this day. Over the last 20 years I have also used coconut oil and different MCT in my diet as many of you know through my famous recipes Coconut Fried Chicken or Coconut Baked Pancakes. Many of the Dolce Diet recipes include coconut oil. I even add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to my coffee every morning and it is absolutely amazing and nutritious. |

phillymmafan - What's the science behind fat loss? Deeper than all that less calories in more calories burnt. Much more determines body fat than the simple calorie in vs calorie out equation. In my opinion, calories have a much reduced role in lean mass and overall health than a focus on quality of nutrients. It is very difficult to overeat when simply consuming supreme nutrients. I have found, that when fed and rested optimally, the human body will naturally gravitate to a state of vital health. |

RobinHood - Hey Mike, Check back a few posts ago for my take on supps. I'm not talking about the one pictured or any in particular but as a rule most are unnecessary. |

Mike Adrian - Thoughts on farm fresh dairy? I'm not really a fan or advocate of dairy as a rule. There are some good farms out there and a few good products but they are truly few and far between. Health & sanitary guidelines must be of the utmost quality and really it's just not cost prohibitive to run a profitable and healthy dairy farm. |

UGCTT_Dinamita - Best snacks or bars to eat between meals? You should always bring your own Apple and almond butter and avocado and and orange are great on the go snacks a bag a Ziploc bag of cashews and dried fruits with coconut slices is amazing so you don't need bars. Lara bars and Kind bars are okay in a pinch. |

JamesDean57 - Really appreciate you doing this. My pleasure. I suggest frozen red grapes for a sweet tooth. These are absolutely amazing. Also YouTube my video called blueberry madness. That recipe is awesome if you have a sweet tooth. |

berger - I would love to hear your thoughts on the Wheat Belly book and the idea that wheat in its modern form is no longer good for anyone. Is this just incorrect, or maybe just taken too far and moderation is the key? I do have the Wheat Belly book and though I like some of the concepts, I do believe that the principles were taken too far to sell the title and sell the book and sell the life I understand that. I just do not agree. I believe most of the problems with wheat product is the high processing and chemical additives. I believe our body has a much harder time breaking down these chemicals then it would organically grown nutrients such as wheat. I live what I call a gluten modified diet. Never do I eat processed wheats and we rotate other grains through our diet not relying solely on wheat like many Americans do. |

UGCTT_SidRival - Questions I had off the top of my head.. Getting shape is 100% diet. Without diet you cannot train. Now one should not be without the other but if you only train hard you will go nowhere if you only eat well you will go very far. Generally 2 to 4 days of resistance training per week and 24 days of cardiovascular based flexibility mobility training per week would be a great starting system. From that point you can make additions based upon your specific goal. I prefer to work in three weeks cycles. Targeted goals every three weeks. |

Cementhead - Hi Mike, The best time to work out is when you work out. Let's not put obstacles in front of us let's find routes to success. Can you do 10 bodyweight squats tomorrow morning and do a 20 minute workout tomorrow night? If you say yes tomorrow do a 11 bodyweight squats in the morning and continue on with your 20 or 30 or 40 minute workout in the evening. Allow your body to make progress slowly but definitively. One rep per day one minute one second one exercise one thought one decision per day can make the difference! |

Ray Elbe - Thoughts on interval swimming...as I've been running for cardio for years, no alternating swimming which seems to be lower impact, just not sure if the workout transfers the same What's up Ray?! I am a fan of interval swimming. Many of my athletes have used it quite effectively and torn his reign in pride show gondola was associated with swimming as his primary mode of conditioning training in those days show gun was a conditioning machine. Personally I swim like Rocky Balboa, so I prefer to run! |

quarcus - What protein source has the best amino acid profile for recovery? How many grams of protein do you Allow per meal? And also maintenance caloric needs calculation/ macro split. Thank you. There are different schools of thought using way protein sources isolates, casein and other blended protein powder sources. Personally I prefer to get my amino acids from real food. Animal proteins are very high in amino acids as are certain plant-based sources like quinoa. I prefer a wide variety of diverse protein sources. In my experience I found high protein consumption to be much less important for health fitness performance across the board. The common bodybuilding perception of 2 g per pound of body weight is far in excess of what any hard training healthy adult would need. I prefer and have seen tremendous success at a general protein ratio of .8g to 1.2g per lbs of lean body mass. We don't focus on calorie needs or macro splits the principles are much simpler gripper nutrients even intervals. |

gooddoc - 2 words I believe in evolution of progress as the true means to succeed whether it be weight-loss or performance or anywhere in life. Progress that is constantly evolving. For some, Nutella sandwiches are much healthier than what an individual might be currently eating. So if I can suggest an athlete eat 2 tablespoons of Nutella with one half banana 2 tablespoons of almond butter on one slice of a sprouted grain toast instead of their typical Snickers bars he would normally eat, well the Nutella sandwiches are a positive step in the evolution. Eventually and in short time the athlete will be making their own butters at home similar to myself. It is all about progress and forming new habits. |
