Sikes knew there had to be a better way. That's when he discovered the ketogenic diet and perfected it for the art of bodybuilding. Now, seven years later and after coaching more than 500 clients, he is detailing his story in his book, Ketogenic Bodybuilding to create a healthier narrative for mainstream ideals of bodybuilding nutrition.
"This diet allowed me to discover true health," says Sikes. "I've gained a better relationship with food, increased mental clarity, and have seen less inflammation and my hormones stay in a stable range. Bodybuilding is one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports one could pursue, but the rewards and satisfaction at the end of it all are unparalleled. The lessons learned in bodybuilding transcend the sport itself and bleed into all aspects of your life. Being a bodybuilder is what gave me the foundation to become a successful businessman, husband, and find purpose, and became the backbone of my values. In order to do it properly, you should follow a nutritional protocol that you can adhere to long-term and create a lifestyle around, and for me, that's the ketogenic diet."
