The Truth about Carbs: How to Eat Just the Right Amount of Carbs to Slash Fat, Look Great Naked, & Live Lean Year-Round
Free Yourself From Carbophobia
Carbs. The very word strikes fear in the heart of many these days. They make you fat, right? And they lead to diabetes and a host of other ailments…right? Chances are, if you’re trying to lose weight, you’ve probably tried a low-carb diet. But did it work for you long-term? If you’re still stuck in the yo-yo diet rut, still struggling with a muffin top, still reluctant to attend that high school reunion or beach vacation, then you need to get your facts straight. Wouldn’t it be nice to finally get your diet ducks in a row and be lean for life?
Carbs Aren’t the Devil
Did you know that both high-carb diets and low-carb diets can help you lose fat? The trick is figuring out which diet will work for you. Up until now, that was a guessing game that involved a lot of self-experimentation with a host of possible negative side effects if you chose incorrectly—fatigue, depression, anxiety, sexual dysfunction. This happens a lot if your diet doesn’t match your lifestyle. But how do you know which diet will work for you? How many carbs should you be eating? After all, you want all the benefits of eating carbs—sound sleep, better performance, improved mood (and help “below the belt”)—but you don’t want to run the risk of gaining body fat or losing muscle.
Finally, a Sane and Sensible Weight Loss Plan
Whether you’re looking to get ripped or simply looking to get off the couch, Nate Miyaki has the diet plan for you.
The Truth About Carbs
is way more than a book about carbohydrates; it’s a complete, step-by-step fat loss system that can fit any lifestyle and help you attain whatever goals you’ve set for yourself. This book contains everything you need to know to slash fat and build muscle, whether you’re an office worker or an elite athlete. No more guessing games. No more excuses. Do some simple calculations and head out to the grocery store, then get ready to get lean for life. It’s really that simple.

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.

A super quick, yet informative read. Nate's approach combined science and pragmatism with an engaging writing style. If you are at all interested in fat loss, I would suggest reading it. I would have given it 5 stars if he had've included a couple of sample meal plans.

Every person should own and have thyuan yuanHyannisis book
Wow cleared up a lot. This is a must read for every person from the regular couch potato, fitness craze, athlete, you name it. No true words can fully cover what this book has brought in overall health.

To many people may also be eating the wrong kind of diet for their body type, but you can find what is right for you. You could also be one of those parents with kids and need something that works for your crazy life style, such as basing your workouts on what you serve your family at night.

Astounding and (thank goodness for this!) logical explanations that anyone can understand! I devoured this book and came away with awesome knowledge about how to work carbs into my everyday diet and more importantly, why! A must-read for anyone who's ever wanted to understand the logic behind 'dieting' to lose weight, get a great/er shape, or even if you're an athlete.

Good short read. Dropped a lot of knowledge bombs and definitely cleared up some questions I had. One of those books where it's tough to absorb all the information at once, which means I'll be revisiting this many times in the future.

Really useful set of thoughts on carbohydrates. Esp useful for people on ultra-low carb nutrition but who are finding difficulties squaring that with the other things they're doing during the day.
