“This is the key to changing your life. This is the chance you’ve always hoped for.” – UFC president Dana White

LAS VEGAS, May 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — The secrets of the Ultimate Fighting Championship(R)’s elite athletes are finally revealed in UFC FIT(TM) – the UFC’s first ever in-home fitness and nutrition program. Developed with renowned strength and conditioning coach Mike Dolce, UFC FIT is a lifestyle program based on the same methods the world’s greatest athletes use to prepare for the Octagon(TM).
A celebrated training coach and former mixed martial artist, Dolce has earned his reputation as the greatest conditioning and nutrition expert in the sport, helping top contenders including Johny Hendricks, Gray Maynard, Michael Bisping and Thiago Alves prepare for competition. Now, for the first time, Mike Dolce shares the knowledge and techniques that have turned athletes into champions in this in-home training program.

UFC president Dana White said: “What makes UFC FIT different from every other workout is Mike Dolce. The UFC doesn’t cut corners or do anything halfway, so when we decided to create UFC FIT, we knew we had to work with Mike. He’s someone we respect, someone we believe in and someone we know gets results. To compete in the UFC, you have to be proficient in five Olympic sports including boxing, wrestling, taekwondo and judo on top of having world class strength and cardio. And Mike Dolce takes these guys level to another level – just imagine what he can do for you.”
Dolce said: “The methods you’ll see in UFC FIT are the same ones I’ve used with the top stars in the UFC, but I actually developed them for men and women of all ages. I used to weigh 280 lbs, I had elevated blood pressure, my cholesterol was high and I had sleep apnea. Using the principals I share in UFC FIT, I dropped 100 lbs and now am down to five percent body fat. UFC FIT is a fun, challenging program developed for everyone and every fitness level. We all deserve to be lean, to feel confident and to be healthy.”

— 12 dynamic workout DVDs
— Plus 3-Day Shred, a jumpstart to weight loss

MyDolceDiet.com member Travis Reynolds began his journey not too long ago at 265 lbs and is now 244.5! He lost an additional 5 lbs after writing the blog post below. That’s more than 20 lbs obliterated so far following The Dolce Diet Principles! Here’s a glimpse into his experience thus far. Enjoy!

by Travis Reynolds
Four weeks later, fifteen pounds down and all the big lifts remain stable.
Since I picked up the Mike Dolce books, “Living Lean” and the “Living Lean Cookbook,” this guy has drastically cut down fast food intake and almost completely eliminated junk food. I haven’t experienced success like this since the first weight cut back in ’09 and I can’t stress enough how helpful those books have been.
Lunch changed from two to three burritos at Taco Bell (!) to something like the green leaf lettuce/tomato/apple/walnut salad seen above. Dinner has changed from more Taco Bell to homemade stir fry with grapeseed or coconut oil. Delicious food for a fraction of the calories, people.
It’s not that I didn’t know how to do it, as I’ve lamented before. It’s just that I always felt so aimless in how to put things together. The Dolce Diet isn’t so much a template with day-by-day instructions as it is an inspirational set of principles; it doesn’t hold my hand in the process, only puts the way on display in big, broad strokes.
It isn’t easy, not when I’m surrounded by quick, cheap and hyperpalatable options on all sides and at all times. But it’s fulfilling, and that’s important. It isn’t easy when there is a metric butt-ton of cake on consecutive days at the office, or when friends and family make jokes about my food choices or pressure me to eat the same processed stuff they do. But rising above all that feels good, feels righteous.
I still have a long way to go, starting at 265 and shooting for 200. I weighed in at 250 on Thursday. I’ve come too far already to turn around and give up.
