READER REVIEWS
“I love Nate Miyaki’s no-bullshit approach, and his straightforward style.You won’t find filler in this book – unlike most of the longwinded fluff you see on the self help shelves. What you’ll find is a good swift kick in the ass that will motivate you, give you strategies to turn your life around, and help you stay true to YOUR purpose, and to the life you truly want to live. If you’re stuck in a rut or suffering a setback – whether it’s a small one or the biggest that life throws your way – this book will help. The answers may not be the ones you want to hear. But they work. And as the author writes, yes, it really is that simple.” – Ryan M.
“I began my journey in the quest for optimal health about a year ago, when on a lark, I decided to ditch grains, processed foods, and sugar from my diet for 40 days. What happened was nothing short of miraculous. My results prompted me to begin reading everything I could get my hands on about nutrition, health and the human body, which included a lot of famous books like Grain Brain, Wheat Belly, Good Calories Bad Calories, Eat the yolks, Big Fat Surprise, and many others. 15 books total. I can say with certainty that the author of this book is VERY knowledgeable about the human body and the role macro-nutrients play in our overall health. I could have just read this one book and learned everything I needed to know in order to make the right food choices for my particular lifestyle and fitness goals. Nate presents an honest and no nonsense approach to eating and maintaining physical health.” – Silver F.
“Over the last couple of years, I have implemented a lot of Nate’s nutritional ideas into my daily life. His diet recommendations are always practical, sustainable, and without the pointless fluff and confusion of many of the popular fad diets. For all of that, one of my favorite aspects of Nate’s writing has been his fusion of philosophy with nutrition and fitness. Where else can you get Bruce Lee mixed with calculating macros? When I learned about Rise Above, I ordered it almost immediately and, just as I expected, more great stuff. No bull or overused self-help clichés, just practical and workable strategies. Best of all, is Nate’s lack of ego in his writing. Take what you is helpful, lose what’s not, and start fighting for a better life. Nate says it best himself, “Put your head down and do what you need to do to get better at whatever you are pursuing in life. The rest is just noise.” Awesome read. I cannot recommend it enough-thanks Nate!” – Dave M
“Very indebted to Nate Miyaki. With the help from his blog posts, videos, and books. I went from 325 lbs. down to 254 lbs. now I am hovering around the 200 lbs. mark 3 years later! Never felt better and looked better! What I enjoy most is his no-nonsense, lets cut the crap and get down to it attitude. He also uses humor to soften it up a bit. When doing my research on how to best lose weight, this really appealed to me. He tells you what to do as well as why you should be doing it. Pretty much what I wanted: Tell me what to do and how to, then let me get at it lol.” – BJ K.
“This book is amazing. Definitly one of the best of its kind. I like that is very precise, straight to the point, no chit-chatting around the subject like most books. The author took the essential stuff of every strategy and put them all together in this great book. A must read!” – Dragos
“No fluff here. Just the practical science of how to eat carbs to maximize your body composition.In this book, Nate takes a look at carbs through the lens of fat loss and fitness. He shows you the practical science of exactly how to find the appropriate carb intake that’s right for you, based on the 3 major factors that impact how many carbs you should be eating. Perhaps most importantly, Nate makes sure you keep the big picture (calories in, calories out) in mind and don’t start getting wrapped up in the nutrition pseudoscience around carbs that’s all too common in today’s day and age. All in all, a solid book packed with practical science-backed advice on how to look and feel awesome! Well done, Nate! And thank you for this great contribution to the field!” – Ari W.
“To say this book hit me at the the perfect time is an understatement. I felt lost, and it was just the wake up call that I needed. It helped me realize that a significant amount of my disappointment, frustration, and stress has come from trying to control things that I can’t, doing what I thought I was expected to do (instead of what I really want), focusing on the wrong things in life, and staying trapped just because it is comfortable. This book has motivated me to make some changes and take back control of my life. It’s a short and straightforward book that I read in one sitting. I recommend it to anyone going through personal or professional struggles.” – Jay
“A very straightforward read, this book cuts through the marketing fog when diets are concerned and concentrates on the basics.I’ve tried numerous diets so far, some with more and some with less success, but the more I experimented, the more this sane approach, described by Nate Miyaki, proved to be the right one.” – Davor T.
