Why I NEVER Cheat on Keto: How Discipline, Fat & Focus Unlocks a "Savage" Life | Robert Sikes

There’s something about building from the floor up that changes a person. For Robert Sikes, that’s not a metaphor. He and his wife Crystal literally slept on the floor of a warehouse while starting their business. I remember meeting him early in Pluck’s journey, before this podcast even existed, and feeling the conviction behind everything he shared. He’s one of the first people who believed in what I was doing. The way he lives is focused, disciplined, and completely dialed in. It left a lasting impression.

Robert is a lifetime natural bodybuilder and the founder of Keto Brick. He’s also someone who doesn’t do “cheat days”. Not just with food, but with life. He talks about keto the way other people talk about spirituality or craft. It’s not a tool for fat loss. It’s a foundation for clarity, discipline, and building something real. We talked about how fatherhood has shifted his priorities, what it means to truly grind with purpose, and why simplicity is one of the most overlooked superpowers.

This conversation is not about macros or performance. It’s about doing what you say you’ll do, letting the hard things forge you, and showing up for the people who matter most.

Key Takeaways

No Cheat Days – For Robert, consistency around food is about mental clarity and alignment with purpose.

Brick By Brick – Keto Brick was born from necessity and vision, developed on a warehouse floor with his wife by his side.

Discipline Is A Practice – Removing distractions and limiting choices has allowed Robert to go all-in on the things that matter most.

Fuel Like It Matters – Keto isn’t a short-term strategy. It’s how he unlocks focus, endurance, and presence every day.

Legacy Mindset – Fatherhood didn’t slow Robert down. It gave every hustle a reason.

Keep It Simple – Whether it’s business, food, or fitness, doing less and doing it with intention creates the space to do it better.
