“I started after feeling lost, ashamed, and out of control with my eating and body. I started simple by adding in approved Dolce diet foods and then started to eliminate processed foods one meal at a time. It only took about two months to cut out all the bad food. Then I started going to […]
“On my 32nd birthday, I decided I no longer wanted to be fat and unhealthy. I wanted to be here for my two beautiful children. I asked my doctor to send me to a dietician where things got worse. The woman was about 5’2″ and would have probably weighed around 250 lbs. I wondered how […]
“I came across Living Lean online while looking for tips on health and nutrition. I’ve always struggled with sticking to a proper diet while training, mostly because of the old school belief that starving yourself is the best way to lose weight. Within two weeks of using the Dolce Diet lifestyle, I was down 8 […]
