This was an inexpensive Kindle download. I had credit, etc.
Dolce is high profile and he's working with lots of MMA guys. Of course this is hardly an endorsement since you are working with the genetic elite, who train hard and have a powerful financial goal in front of them.
I haven't been impressed with the interviews.. too much woo amid a scattered evidence. But since the nature of this book was eating on a budget, with minimal equipment, I decided to take a look.
The Good?
-- He promotes lots of fresh, healthy foods and a wide, wide, variety of them. Simple methods of preparation and storage. [based on college dorms]. Some of the recipes are decent.
The Bad?
-- Most of it. Just outright horse shit. Calories don't count, chemicals in our foods, multiple feeding to speed up metabolism, yadda-yadda. Nothing you couldn't listen to at Whole Foods or read in an afternoon on Facebook. He's a terrible writer and his workouts are stupid. Just reading him almost forced me to give myself a Colombian Necktie.
Dolce is a classic example where as promotion times one thousand can make anyone seem like they can walk on water. He really wouldn't know evidence if it was in the form of a baseball bat hitting his knee caps.
Much better to invest in Research Review by Alan Aragon, any of Lyle's books, Tom Venuto's stuff.
The real secret to Dolce is probably the Chemist in the fight camp. Just my opinion.

I like how he promotes a whole food natural diet and pushing people to avoid processed crap but that's about it.

Buying the Dolce Diet for my kindle was the worst mistake I have ever made.

Sadly I know something of Soupbone's tale of Dolce Diet woe. Let's just say it left his sexuality in question, his felony record realized, 3/4 of his family dad from Nutella poisoning and abs so shredded he lost all his power.
3 cheers for Soupbone getting back after it guys!!!
