#47 Natural Bodybuilder Keto Savage on Winning Contest Prep and Building Muscle on the Ketogenic Diet

How little protein can you eat and build muscle? That's not what you hear very often in the protein-obsessed fitness conversations... You need to take amino acids before a workout, a whey protein post-workout, eat only egg whites and get at least 3x grams of protein per pound of body weight, otherwise, you'll become catabolic and lose your gains... Welcome to the Body Mind Empowerment Podcast I'm your host Siim Land and let me introduce you to Robert Orion Sikes - the Keto Savage - who does natural bodybuilding and during contest prep eats about 65 grams of protein a day. Might sound bizarre for anyone who's into lifting weights but Robert's been seeing incredible results in the field of performance optimization with the ketogenic diet. Robert runs the Keto Savage Podcast, has a YouTube channel and a coaching business about keto bodybuilding. He's actually won several contests on keto and continues to hit personal records at the gym.
