Summary

Hi friends! This episode is with Robert Sikes a.k.a Keto Savage! In this episode we talk all about YOUR questions on muscle building, women's physiology, dieting, reverse dieting and cutting fat, carbs vs total calories, resetting the metabolism and much more!
 
Robert Sikes, AKA Keto Savage, is a lifetime natural competitive keto bodybuilder. Using the ketogenic diet, he has seen consistent gains in building lean muscle mass, finding it to be much less stressful on the body than bulking and cutting the traditional way with carbs.

Robert Sikes went from a 115-pound kid in high school to 230 pounds in college and started competing in 2010.  A few years ago he began transitioning to a keto bodybuilding approach and found that his body recovered faster after competitions and that the ketogenic diet provided a much more sustainable and healthier way to building lean muscle.

When not training, you can find Robert providing online coaching through his company Keto Savage

Prior to beginning a ketogenic diet you should undergo a health screening with your physician to confirm that a ketogenic diet is suitable for you and to rule out any conditions and contraindications that may pose risks or are incompatible with a ketogenic diet, including by way of example: conditions affecting the kidneys, liver or pancreas; muscular dystrophy; pregnancy; breast-feeding; being underweight; eating disorders; any health condition that requires a special diet [other conditions or contraindications]; hypoglycemia; or type 1 diabetes. A ketogenic diet may or may not be appropriate if you have type 2 diabetes, so you must consult with your physician if you have this condition. Anyone under the age of 18 should consult with their physician and their parents or legal guardian before beginning such a diet.

Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the Optimal Protein podcast. I'm your host, Vanessa Spina,

0:10.1

and I am so pumped for today's episode. I am getting my pump on as we speak because we are talking

0:16.5

to Robert Keto Savage Sykes. He has been on the podcast before and you probably know him well

0:23.7

if you're in the keto community. He has established him for being a successful trophy winning

0:29.8

0:37.4

doing keto bodybuilding. He's also the author

0:41.0

of the ketogenic bodybuilding book, A Natural Athletes Guide to Competitive Savagery, and also the founder

0:49.1

of Keto Brick, which is an amazing company that provides ready to eat bars that are with ketogenic macros.

0:57.1

So really the only bar, I think, on the market that actually is just pure ketogenic macros

1:02.9

and doesn't have a ton of hidden carbs and all these things.

1:06.5

So really amazing stuff.

1:08.2

I know he's going to just keep doing amazing things. I was so happy to

1:12.5

have him back on the podcast today because I know that a lot of you who are members of this community

1:17.9

and are in our members group on Facebook in particular have a lot of questions about fitness,

about body recomposition, reverse dieting, lifting. And it really is amazing because

1:30.8

1:37.0

resistance training, which apparently according to Dr. Stu Phillips is probably closer to 5%,

1:42.6

which is a really small number. So I know a lot of you in

1:46.1

this community, you are either starting a new resistance training program. You are encouraging
