Yes a science that is heavily debated by expert on different approaches and what is optimal.
Calorie restriction vs Types of food restriction (low carb diet) for best weight loss, is one example of the problem with science in Nutrition.
Then on top of that you have factors that change the debate when diets need to be taylored for athletes are are trying to cut weight in the most effective way while not compromising there physical performance.
Yes it a science that is not as exact or precise as other fields, hence Y there is so much bro science in the industry.
What do you do after spreading the avocado on toast?
In 2001, he squatted 635 in competition and then bombed out on Bench. He weighed 242 then. http://www.usapowerlifting.com/newsl...s/thunder.html
His UFC profile during TUF (now pulled) made other claims - deadlift 705 lbs, squat 840 lbs, and bench 535 lbs. This thread had it when originally posted: http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f13/mike-dolce-766221/
I know I've found other interviews where his "all time bests" don't match up at all. It's hard for him to keep his lies straight.
Edit: That same thread found other comp #'s where he benched 335. That's what I was talking about earlier where it's fucking hilarious he claims to have added 200 lbs to his bench in that amount of time. He's a joke.
Can't find pictures of him as a powerlifter, does anyone have some?
In this article: http://www.knucklepit.com/mixed-mart...mike_dolce.htm
he says his biggest squat was 845lbs and his biggest dead was 765 lbs. Those seem like... crazy numbers given what he looks like now at least.
Camps average ten weeks give or take. The calories they are burning just from training should be significant. Other than putting them on a diet with good work out food and limiting their calories, what else can be done other than dehydrating at the end if need be? I'm asking sincerely.Yeah that's great if you're a 40 year old secretary, but it becomes a bit trickier if you're trying to maintain optimal athletic performance while dropping massive amounts of weight.
No, the problem is that there is more than one way to skin a cat, but "experts" believe their way is best. However, they all agree on the basic fundamentals of nutrition.
At least Dolce promotes a better diet than the average dietician I've met. I don't have a high opinion of most dieticians, as they promote faulty advice IMO.
e.g. they advise cardiac clients to eat high carb, low fat diets (& avoid saturated fat), avoid eggs, etc. They ignore the fact that such a diet promotes obesity, high liver enzymes, homocysteine levels, etc, and that the best evidence shows there's no reason to avoid dietary fat and cholesterol. I've followed a high carb diet within the recommended caloric intake, and it's very difficult to intuitively eat the right amount compared to a higher fat/meat diet.
They give pretty similar advice to diabetics - a client group who uniquely have poor metabolism of carbohydrates, and who would be ideal for high fat, low carb diets. Their justification is that having a set amount of carbohydrates make it easier to regulate blood glucose levels via medication, i.e. instead of just eating suitable food for that person's physiology in the first place. You know, something that an expert in nutrition ought to be able to figure out.
First of all, plenty of diets work. Nobody says his system can't make you lose weight. It's that his system is the basic-bitch of nutrition and he overcharges for it thanks to bullshit connections to the UFC.
but why are guys paying for it, and why did the two most famous TRT guys pay him? Hmmm, maybe there is some connection there.

Wait, you lost me, I'm no Julia Child, how do I make this "toast?"
Plenty of signs point to Dolce's "Nutrition" expertise. That said, I think guys are not paying as much as they say. I think the UFC is supplementing their use of him to prop their own UFC-Nutrition bs.
But that's all conjecture on my part and just as likely false as it is true. I'm just using the ooooole thinky-box.
