149 | What It Really Takes to Be the Leanest Man in the World with Robert Sikes
In this raw and honest conversation, I’m joined by Robert Sikes—natural bodybuilder, entrepreneur, and (literally) the leanest man in the world. We talk about what it actually takes to get that lean, what it costs physically and mentally, and why chasing “leaner” isn’t always better.
We also unpack both of our personal journeys through disordered eating, unrealistic standards, and the pursuit of something deeper than a six-pack. This one goes beyond macros and workouts—it’s about mindset, priorities, and what a sustainable, fulfilling life really looks like.
What We Cover in This Episode:
- The hidden costs of extreme leanness (and why Robert doesn’t recommend it for most people)
- What most diet culture gets wrong about fat loss and body composition
- Why building muscle is the real secret to lasting results
- How keto helped Robert heal his relationship with food—and why it’s more about real food than rigid rules
- The unexpected spiritual growth that came from pushing his body to the limit
This episode is your reminder that real success in fitness isn’t just about how lean you can get—it’s about who you become in the process. And sometimes the healthiest thing you can do... is choose a different goal entirely.
