The 6-Pack Checklist: A Step-by-Step Guide to Shredded Abs
Miles Away From the Body You’ve Always Dreamed Of?
Can you squat and bench heavy loads but are also carrying an extra load around the waist? Can you perform amazing boot camp and cross-training drills but don't look like you've ever exercised a day in your life? Can you hit amazing running times but are still soft, saggy, and flabby crossing the finish line? There is no doubt about it, Man Boobs & Muffin Tops are a tenacious tag team opponent that is hard to keep down for the count these days. Most of us are a long way from living lean year-round, even if we think we’re eating right and exercising the way we should.
Ditch the Fitness Myths & Find a Sustainable Diet Structure
The truth is, most of us are doing everything wrong when it comes to getting lean and finally getting that much-desired 6-pack. Those quick-fix, boot camp workouts you see advertised on TV? Not gonna cut it. Loading up on fat to be in a ketogenic, “fat-burning” zone? Nope, not going to work, either. So what’s it going to take to get the bikini or board short body you’ve always wanted? More diets, deprivation, and struggle? Or are there some simple strategies you can put into place that fit into your lifestyle that will finally get you lean?
Stop Wasting Hours in the Gym
Use the most efficient path to results possible. Nate Miyaki has condensed his 15 years of shredding experience into The 6-Pack Checklist, which will give you a step-by-step process for getting the body you’ve always dreamed about. No magic, no pills, no crazy diet plans that will have you feeling hangry by lunchtime. This is simple advice that anyone can implement. Miyaki walks his talk (and has pictures to back it up). So get out there and start attacking your goals today--not tomorrow, or some other time down the line. “Some other time” usually ends up being never.

Quick and easy read but comprehensive. A lot of myths and mistaken ideologies are addressed and demystified. I really appreciated that he touched on the differences between male and female weight loss as it's rare find together in the bodybuilding world. He's very objective about people finding what works for them regardless of lifestyle and eating choices as long as it adheres to basic weight loss principles. Took a few gems from this that I've already been applying and has made the "cutting" process much more enjoyable.

Seems legit
From what I know so far regarding dieting it seems scientifically sound. Only way to really know is do an experiment of n=1 and see if it works for you

Simple and practical
I enjoyed the writing style; checklist by order of importance and casual yet informative approach.
A printable summary checklist would have been nice.

Informative and practical
Great information, well packaged,albeit a bit crass at times. Backed in data and research. Starting content for what it sets out to do.

The Journey Continues
The latest iteration of good advice. The biggest thing I took from this was the specific training philosophies that go with this style of eating. I finally feel equipped to pursue his ideas in earnest, and I can't wait to see how it plays out.

Good read!
He breaks it down to simple steps that anyone can follow. Keep in a calorie deficit, eat whole foods and preform resistance training.

Not as gimmicky as the title may suggest. If you've read any of Nate's stuff before, you know what he's going to talk about - but having it in list form at the end of each chapter is nice.

In the book Nate Miyaki explains the 12 habits that have helped him keep a 6-pack. The main idea is to ditch all the new things that come in vogue and just stick to the basics, like counting calories, eating protein, and doing strength training. What I found very helpful was his explanation of the importance of eating carbohydrates while doing strength training, something we don't hear that much today.
My complain with the book is that it could have been much shorter. Miyaki writes the book the way he would have talked to a friend in person, so I felt he rumbled a bit. In addition, he includes a lot of paragraph quotations to support his claims. This information could have been paraphrased while pointing to the study.
