Living Lean...key word; Living. I'm in my late 20's and ever since I can remember I have been overweight, recently to the point where I was 230+ pounds and my blood pressure was skyrocketing by the day. With heart disease in my family history I decided to make a change. First I must let you know that I have always been one to go for the quick fix, the easy solution, diet pills, fad diets, skipping meals, etc. and I would always lose weight, but undoubtedly gain it back...with interest. I was looking for a diet where you could function, without starving yourself, without skipping meals, without pills...enter The Dolce Diet. I'm a huge MMA fan and familiar with Mike Dolce and his work with the MMA community and helping them make the cut, so to speak. At the weigh-ins, I would always see Mike and the fighters wearing the shirt and think it was a cheesy marketing gimmick for selling shirts to Bro's who are all out of TapouT gear. Boy was I wrong. I came across this book on Amazon and thought I would read the sample for the Kindle edition, after a couple of pages I was hooked. I'm not a reader at all, but I found it hard to put this book down, Mike does a great job of injecting stories from his past, that you can relate to, and some really great quotes, that are truly inspirational, into a book that teaches the reader that, not only is it possible to change the way you think about food and dieting, but you can also "Live" while on it. You don't have to be miserable that you are missing out on certain foods or eating only one food group, you can enjoy what you are eating, it will taste great, and you can move forward with the confidence that you are putting quality calories into your body.
The book is an easy read and doesn't overwhelm the reader with scientific terms and more than anything it is very relatable, Mike Dolce is Mike Dolce, but you can see that he started as a regular Joe, he gives you the tools and the lessons to go forward and be proactive in your own search for what you are looking for, whether you're an athlete, or just want to live healthier, it's all here, Mike lays out the theory behind truly Living Lean. After reading this book I would highly recommend it to anyone, you don't have to break your head searching for the food he highlights, you probably have it in your pantry now, you can make it yourself, with the easy to follow instructions, and it will not only taste great but you can take the satisfaction of knowing that you are doing the best for you. There are no gimmicks here, just a man trying to do his part to spread the word on Living Lean, and I for one, finally weighing under 200 lbs., am happy that Mike decided to put this book together, and if you buy a copy you will be as well.
