38:10 – What is a ketone? From WebMD: Ketones are chemicals made in your liver. You produce them when you don't have enough insulin in your body to turn sugar (or glucose) into energy. You need another source, so your body uses fat instead. Your liver turns this fat into ketones, a type of acid, and sends them into your bloodstream. Your muscles and other tissues can then use them for fuel.
42:00 – Dimitri and Vasily will begin 6 weeks of Keto on October 8, 2018 until November 19, 2018 finishing right before Thanksgiving.
44:15 – The goal of 6 weeks of Keto is to gain metabolic flexibility
45:30 – Dimitri thinks that Vasily eats more unhealthy than he does…He is wrong obviously :)
47:42 – The only thing you need to do to be Greek is cook with lemon and more lemon.
48:42 – Dimitri goes on a rant: I want to motivate people. I want to motivate myself. I want you guys to hold me accountable, because I have been here TOO MANY TIMES. It’s too easy to start. You feel great, you’re seeing results. Then one thing leads to another, and you fall back into the bad sedentary habits. We need to change our mindset as a nation, as a culture. The way that we eat, the foods that we eat, everything about it is wrong. We need to start facing reality. It’s not correct; it’s a very flawed mentality. It’s lead me to a life of struggle, to being in this severely obese category and it’s leading many others too. I am not a minority anymore. I am getting close to the point of being in the majority. And that’s not a good thing! Let’s change it!
