where does one find coconut oil, a specialty/health food store ?


Certain at specialty shops but it is pretty common in most major supermarkets.

jaytrainwreck -  What would be your ideal breakfast? Phone Post

Exactly what I eat almost every single day and so do most of my athletes.
It is my BREAKFAST BOWL as written in Living Lean.
Oats, chia seeds, strawberries, blueberries, raisins, almond butter, raisins, coconut slices, cinnamon and whatever else is fresh and delicious!

your thoughts on cardio right after strength training(weight lifting)?


Can be good for cosmetic purposes but I prefer to split up my sessions.

JamesDean57 - Really appreciate you doing this.
What do you recommend for a sweet tooth.

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.
That never does it for me. I like chocolate :( Phone Post

Look into Justin's Hazelnut Butter. Goes great with fresh strawberries. easy way to break the cycle.

I weigh 250 and have never been able to get anywhere near 250 grams of protein in me per day :-(


Nor should you!
What is your estimated bodyfat level and goal weight? how old are you and do you have any medical issues? What is your current training program and external life influences?
Focus on quality of nutrient not mere quantity.

Love seeing IAN LOVELAND and TOM SMARIO in the background! The foreground, not so much...

What foods in a weightloss diet are simply a must? what 'magic' foods you would reccommend to your athletes to help shed some poundage?.


DOLCE DIET 101

1) EAT EARTH GROWN NUTRIENT
2) EVERY 2 TO 4 HOURSE
3) BASED ON WHAT YOU JUST DID, OR ARE ABOUT TO DO
4) EAT UNTIL SATISFIED, NOT UNTIL FULL
5) BE ACCOUNTABLE

If you simply follow these principles, the whole world opens up.

UGCTT_SidRival -  How much water should we drink a day? I've heard a good measurement is half your body weight in ounces (i.e. I weigh approx 170 lbs, therefore I should drink at least 85oz of water a day). Is this true?

Also how does homemade unsweetened ice tea measure up against water? I drink as much water as I can but I love me some tea. Phone Post

When it comes to where I say drink as much as possible. I live in Las Vegas, this is a desert. I am 200 pounds and I drink 2 gallons of water per day every day when I exercise vigorously I sometimes drink up to 3 gallons in a day. My wife is 125 pounds and she drinks 1 gallon per day every day. Hydration is necessary. The three essential elements in human survival are oxygen, water and food. Water is the second most essential function for human survival. Unfortunately most people are extremely dehydrated.
Anything I drink tea, coffee, juice is bonus. it's on top of my water guidelines. This way I am always guaranteed to it me or exceed my expected water intake .

You must pee frequently.


at least every hour. i see it as purifying my system.

Mike - what are your thoughts on sweeteners, like for your coffee or tea ? Natural sugar, honey, Splenda.........?


Never ever ever do we use artificial products, especiall sweeteners.

As to coffee. I add 1 tsp of Coconut Oil per cup and love it!

I sometimes add a smidgen of Almond Milk and a touch of honey or agave but not recently.

myjawhurts -  Serious question Mr Dolce.
Would you be open to having your diet scientifically evaluated?
By this I mean, blood glucose, lipid profiles, hormone levels, VO2max, lactic threshold etc.
Making weight is an achievement but if you could prove that your athletes were stronger, recovered faster and had better 02 carrying capacity you would identify yourself as the greatest nutrition guru in the world. Phone Post

We do this most every training camp I am involved in.
Just like the NFL or NBA, UFC athletes are multi-million dollar business entities.
Their health and performance should not be left to a team of buddies or amateurs.
I require all my athletes to be under a doctor's direct care.
We ensure all health parameters are tested and optimal health is always our goal.
This has been done many times with my athletes but it is their information, not mine.
I care not about using this to promote my brand and instead simply want them to ensure optimal health.

We are in the middle of writing my new book, which will take a very close look into the health impact of following a life plan as presented in Living Lean.

Chaelismyhero - On fight night how much will Chael weigh vs. Bones?

Chael will likely be in the mid-220's (224)
I'd expect Jones to be 218lbs or so

Is vaporizing Cannabis actively unhealthy for weight loss or athletic performance? It is grown from the earth thus fits in with the dolce ideology of eating grown natural nutrients. Phone Post

I have not found any credible information to suggest a reduction in athleticism or weight-loss as a result of "legal" non-competition marijuana ingestion.
If discussing athletes, vaporizing would be preferred to traditional methods of burning and smoking, while edible consumption would be preferred to vaporizing.
Many studies report very favorable results of marijuana related products for use in the health and medical industry, especially when compared to artificial prescription drugs.
See a doctor and check all local laws.
