About this episode

Robert Sikes discusses his sardine fast experience and reflects on loss with guest Greg Mahler.

The sardine fast is officially in the rearview mirror — and I'm here to give you the full debrief. Five days, 18 cans a day, 3,000 calories of sardines. Was it miserable? Mostly. Was it worth it? That depends on what you're trying to prove. I did it to cut through the noise around these viral "miracle" food fasts, and the takeaway is simple: there's no magic. Calories are calories, and context matters every time. Beyond the experiment, Greg and I get into what's moving at Keto Brick HQ — Primal Fudge is back in stock, apparel is closing in on launch, and we've got some new things in the kitchen we're not quite ready to talk about yet. We also touch on the upcoming bodybuilding shows we're involved with this month. And then the conversation goes somewhere real. With the anniversary of Greg's dad's passing coming up, we talk about loss, the passage of time, and why you can't afford to keep putting off the people who matter most. This one's worth a listen. Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/ Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2 Get Keto Brick…
