    Welcome to the first Spartan Brothers Podcast hosted by Dimitri and Vasily! 0:15 – Dimitri is in the Severely Obese Category and got there from sedentary lifestyle and poor eating habits. 1:40 – Vasily is a former Collegiate Athlete and is in good health. 2:20 – New York Times Article: American Adults Just Keep Getting Fatter. In 2016 40% Obese 7.7% Severely Obese https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/23/health/obesity-us-adults.html 5:30 – Correction: Underweight is less than 18.5 BMI, Healthy is 18.5-25 BMI, Overweight is 25-30 BMI, Obese is actually 30-40 BMI and Severely Obese is over 40 BMI 6:45 – Dimitri has gained and lost the same 50lbs over ten times through the years. 15:45 – Eating healthy is not just for overweight people. 17:42 – Dimitri’s Goals for the year. Lose 100lbs in one year, run a 7 minute mile, and do one pull-up all by August 26, 2019. 18:42 – Correction: Official weigh-in is 327lbs recorded on August 26, 2018. 19:50 – Vasily’s goals are: 5 muscle-ups in a row, 50 push-ups in a row, hold a handstand for 10 seconds, side splits. 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! See Ya!
