Book excerpt: Initially, Robert Sikes embraced "bro dieting" in order to win bodybuilding shows. He soon found out, however, that the side effects were disastrous.Despite athletic successes, Sikes' high-carb, low-nutrient crash dieting led to imbalanced hormones, a lowered sex drive, diminished strength and an unhealthy relationship with food. Struggling with disordered eating, Sikes could see no way out of his self-created hell-until, that is, he found the ketogenic diet.After seeing drastic improvements in his gym performance, relationships and overall health, Sikes pioneered a new method of natural bodybuilding that leveraged a ketogenic protocol with high dietary fats and nutrient-dense foods.The wisdom gleaned from his rigorous self-experimentation is compiled in Ketogenic Bodybuilding, a comprehensive guide to achieving show-level conditioning by following a healthy, sustainable ketogenic plan.In Ketogenic Bodybuilding, readers will learn:-The seven phases necessary for successful contest prep and reverse dieting-The mindset and manipulations required for success in each phase-Nutritional meals with enough "caloric runway" to properly fuel the training demands -How strategic ketogenic refeeds can control metabolism and help push through plateaus-The three levers to manipulate for optimal cardio (and progressive overload training)-Why safe "reverse dieting" after a show is as important as the prep itself-The ins-and-outs of posing, tanning, exercise, supplements and more in multiple appendicesIn Ketogenic Bodybuilding, Sikes has produced a guide that proves natural ketogenic bodybuilding isn't simply competitive; when used correctly, it is positively savage.
