In 2007, Dolce published The Dolce Diet: 3 Weeks to Shredded. He then published The Dolce Diet: Living Lean in 2010 and The Dolce Diet: Living Lean Cookbook in 2011.

His career highlight as a coach so far has been successfully managing the 45-pound weight cut for Quinton Jackson in 2010.

He was voted the 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 World MMA Trainer of the Year, an award given to the leading and most influential strength and conditioning expert, sports psychology mentor or nutrition advisor in MMA. In 2014, Dolce was inducted into the New Jersey Martial Arts Hall of Fame for his contributions in the area of health and nutrition.

Dolce is best known for managing the weight cuts of UFC athletes such as Johny Hendricks, Ronda Rousey and Thiago Alves. He was voted as the 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 World MMA Trainer of the Year.

George Lockhart, nutritionist to Conor McGregor, Daniel Cormier and other UFC champions, claimed in 2014 that he had never seen any real science from Dolce, and pointed to the fact that four athletes coached by Dolce had been caught using performance-enhancing drugs. UFC commentator, Joe Rogan, refuted these claims in episode 579 of his podcast, stating, “no Dolce athlete… ever tested positive for any banned substances, while working with Dolce.”

In 2014, Dolce coached BJ Penn for his third fight with Frankie Edgar. Penn lost the fight via TKO, and said afterwards he would “never hire Dolce again for anything”. Dolce responded to the criticism and cited stress and pressure as reasons for Penn’s loss.
