  • Just curious, has anyone tried this? I watched it and it was inspiring, but now I need to buy a juicer. :(

  • how is he nearly fucking dead MISLEADING TITLE!!! WORDT MOVIE I EVER SAW BORING PIECE OF WANK

  • It's an hour and a half commercial for juice-making machines, and full of vegan propoganda too.

  • I love documentaries about food and this is a great one!!! Just saw this now I'm going to watch "Hell and Back Again" on Netflix instant watch. Has anyone seen it? bitly .com/zJDaIj

  • You guys should research what veggies contain protein, and nuts and legumes. Educate yourselves. Did you know Albert Einstein didn't eat meat? Nor did Carl Lewis.

  • so he wanted to lose weight and therefore he went to America? genius.

  • @79Everlast79 You'd think that and yet, he did anyways. He said at the beginning, "I'm the sort of bloke that likes to tackle my demons head on." The idea is that he gathers help and support for himself and others as he goes along.

  • all this diet will get you, is a skinnyfat body.

    eat protien and liftweights bitches, gain aesthetics

  • @KiwiDillan23 Very good point. They're probably also making their already bad metabolisms worse.

  • @KiwiDillan23 That's what I was thinking of. Where can I get any protein if I don't have any meat? :-(

    Or may be only 60 days then back to normal diet, I guess.

  • @skm61 hmmm, you're the smart one dude. veges ain't got no protein man. right

  • American's are nutritional losers and this documentary proves it! Great show and very inspiring! Obese people inspire me. HCRV!

  • here is the movie; isohunt dot com/torrents/?ihq=fat%2C+sick+­and+nearly+dead

  • I'm on my 3rd day of veggy juice, and I already see the difference!

  • @heliek Did you keep juicing? How did it go?

  • Estrogen dominance s the biggest factor in obesity. it messes up your endocrine system which lowers thyroid function which lowers metabolism

    Contributing factors are Fluoride in tap water, pesticides, herbicides, hormones in meats, chemicals in cleaning products, bug sprays, artificial food additives, sugar, wheat, soy, grains, cows dairy, medicines, PCBS, radiation, the pill, alcohol (esp beer),

    Time to get back to basics & natural hunter gatherer lifestyles, no more CHEMS!

    see Xenestrogens

  • I love this movie. It DID inspire me to get a juicer like the one in the movie after I figured out that I am reacting badly to corn ( It' s in everything.) I just added the juice to my diet to get more veg in me. Super how the juice can satisfy this former junk food junkie's sweet tooth. My favorite is Kale and apple! My long lost energy is returning.

  • It is also free on Hulu.com...(Hulu is a LEGAL site too!)

    

  • Looks great. Sadly I don't have netflix.

  • great movie , ima start today , come on guys if they did it why can we du it ? WE CAN Do it

  • people should watch this 5/5 

  • Excellent documentary. I have watched it 5 times the past 10 days because I keep showing it to family and friends. I think you can take the diet even a step further by drinking fresh juice AND green smoothies. It's all about balance and green smoothies provide everything fresh juice does PLUS fiber and nutrients from the skin. Good stuff!

  • this was a fantastic film. watched it yesterday. phil's story was really touching.

  • Comment removed

  • this movie was amazing. 5 stars.

  • Its on NETFLIX

  • And Phil what a badass!

  • Amazing documentary!

  • watch the whole video for free at hulu!

  • Great video.

    Personally, I've never been overweight. I've stayed healthy because I've stuck to the genius, Dr Joel Fuhrman's (he makes an appearance in this film already) completely vegan diet. (or "nutricarian", as he calls it). It's fantastic. I actually feel good after every meal :D

    When I first became vegan, I thought I'd be eating boring BORING shitty food...but I've fallen in love with this diet. Believe it or not, I can actually live without meat, dairy, salts, unhealthy sugars oils. <3

  • your a champ mate .. an absolute champ .. god bless you

  • After over three years of carrying around over 80 lbs of excess pregnancy + stress weight, I began a Juice Fast on 8/7/11 after watching this documentary. I juiced for 60 days & lost nearly 50 lbs! I am now on a high raw (90+%) foods diet/lifestyle & since 8/7 have dropped nearly 70 lbs!! This film changed my life! I knew what to do (I am a holistic wellness coach) but stress & family problems had me too depressed to do it. Watching these guys push themselves & win helped push me to win too!

  • Comment removed

  • Looking forward to seeing this. Consider this link shared!

  • motivating!

  • After seeing this movie, you should see the movie "Forks Over Knives" to help make these changes in your diet permanent.

  • I love watching this movie. The trailer is a great way to introduce people to it. I hope more people will watch this.

  • I'm loving the juice fast. Day 22 and I am down 31 pounds and feeling great! Thanks, Joe, for making that documentary.

  • I have the video and it is great.

    Thanks, Joe...

  • what IS this??? i must have it lol

  • Wow, this trailer has me CRYING!! I'm going to hunt down this documentary with the quickness..I'm fat sick and dying at 445lbs and I want to live!! Any help or just some encouragement would be greatly appreciated..

  • @MrsBabyfat you can do it

  • @MrsBabyfat

    You're fat!

  • @MrsBabyfat This movie is on netflix if you're trying to hunt it down.

  • @insomniaczack not the Canadian version :(

  • @lee3nfi3ld460 :( how lame -_-

  • @insomniaczack not in the UK, unfortunately ;/ I'll find it somehow...

  • @whothehellisthat I found it on Hulu as well.

  • @MrsBabyfat

    You CAN do it; don't give up!

  • @MrsBabyfat

    eat healthy and only as much as you need to and EXERCISE!! its not a science fatty

  • @MrsBabyfat I know doctors wont recommed this, But I have found the only way to really lose weigt is to shrink your stomach.. And the only way that you can do it is by starving yourself.. You have to put less food than your body needs in order for it to shrink.. The problem is. The fatter you are the larger your stomach is.. It can be done. There is only one person who can do it and that is you. Its tough but can be done..

  • @ncunico WTF. ..Why would you recommend that she starves herself? You're an asshole.

  • @MrMaryJanes

    Hey Fuckwit, obviously you cant read. I stated that doctors would not recommend it, and I also said that it was the way that "I" found to lose weight. Notice the word "I" ... That means "me".. My experience.. So keep your big fucking trap shut before you go round calling people assholes...

  • @ncunico You're cursing me out because I called you out on advising people to starve themselves? You are seriously messed up man. I don't blame ya though... if i was starving, glycogen depleted,etc, i'd be pretty angry too. Get some food dude!

  • @MrMaryJanes

    No. I cursed you out because of your poor comprehension skills and willingness to call somone an asshole over them.

  • @ncunico As i said; starvation makes ya do some crazy things. If you need help affording food, i suggest you get Government assistance..or better yet a job.

  • @MrsBabyfat it's also available on Hulu (regular)

  • @MrsBabyfat You can do it! Keep trying and be patience! Woohoo I believe you can do it! It's hard to do something alone so here "take this Fluttershy" (<- type that into google images if you dont know what i mean :)

  • @MrsBabyfat You can do it!!! You go, girl!

  • @MrsBabyfat Yo go girl. You can do it. Joe did. I'm behind you 100%. 

  • @MrsBabyfat Start off your New Years with a 30 day Juice and Green Smoothie fast! It is awesome!

  • @MrsBabyfat Chin up, boobs out! You can do it! Love and hugs!

  • @MrsBabyfat You can change your life! x

  • @MrsBabyfat You must watch 3 very good films, #1 Food, Inc -- #2 Food Matters and #3 Forks Over Knives, it will changed your life forever. I am about 120 lbs over weight and I getting my life in order and these videos truly has helped me get on the road to battle this weight. Good luck. I am sending prayers from South Florida, USA

  • @MrsBabyfat (It's on netflix my friend!) :)

  • @MrsBabyfat You can do it MrsBabyfat. We're behind you 100%!!!

  • @MrsBabyfat Do what they do on the documentary and I guarantee you will drop the pounds. You can never go back to your old ways and you can never give up. The sacrifice will seem big but when you will look back to it, you'll realize it was all worth it. Good luck to you.

  • @MrsBabyfat it's on netflix, if you don't have a netflix membership, you can find it on hulu for free. I ran across this by mistake on hulu. Now I'm 6 days in and 10 lbs lighter. :D

  • @MrsBabyfat Just started the Fasting tonight on My birthday... You got my support and encouragement!!

  • I have not seen Raw for 30 days. Where can I find it?

    Follow me on my channel!

  • I have not seen Raw for 30 days. Is it on youtube or netflix or what?

    Follow me on my channel!

  • I start my juice fast tomorrow!! Here we go!

  • The 60 day juice fast really works! I am diabetic and have been doing it for about a week now and I have seen amazing results with my blood sugars and energy levels. Don't be fooled by the fools that say you won't have energy or the protein that you need. Follow me on my channel as I go through this fast!

  • @chrisleeqb, Have you seen Raw for 30 days by any chance?

  • Comment removed

  • great documentary!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Great documentary and very inspirational. In fact, I've decided to get a juicer myself. Other than to tone my body a bit more, I don't really need to lose weight but I can sure use the extra energy. Thanks for making a difference Joe. You've made a wonderful contribution to humanity. Watching the video felt like one big blessing...

  • I think this is a detox i could do. everyone needs to flush out the bad and put in good for a bit. my friend is doing this for ten days i might also now.

  • I love to see people succeed .... this is awesome stuff ! I need to break out my juicer again!

  • Well done! Brilliant stuff!

  • one of the best documentary i hav seen just love it <3 

  • Very cool

  • i just bought a juicer after watching the movie (available on netfix instant watch) and can't wait to start using it on monday! the university gym membership is going to finally be used too!!!

  • so you just buy a juicer and drink juice? Are their recipes? can u still drink water?

  • @sweetestsin71 yes you can drink water.

  • this documentary CHANGED MY LIFE!!!! scared the CRAP out of me that a heart attack costs $56,000......I juice m-thursday and have lost 15 lbs and feel GREAT!

  • Comment removed

  • omg people all he does is change his diet and work out... PERIOD! its what people been saying all along its just people don't have the discipline to do it they wait it easy and fast just like there food...eat better and work out and you will loose weight

  • @broadcast1010 "Change" is a very broad description of what he did to his diet. I believe he was hooked on ubiquitous high salt, high fat, high sugar foods. He broke this habit by fasting on juice from raw foods. It is simple and effective. Joe's change is effective. You could say that he made an effective change that anyone can do. And, by the way, the results are amazing. I have lost 20 pounds. You can do it too. Anyone can. This change is real. I like that it uses raw foods.

  • @jlang13 ubiquitous high salt, high fat, high sugar foods what else is on the side of the road? Look i'm not saying this isn't going to work out it will work because he is changing his diet dropping his calories and working out, i'm a nutritionist and a trainer and this is what i tell my clients "change your diet stop eating fast food drop your calories and work out" and weeks they loose so much weight the only thing they needs is a hand holding them which is where i come in

  • @broadcast1010 As your clients become dependent upon you for guidance, your revenue increases. "Hand holding" is in your best interest. One way to increase a client's dependence is to provide vague advice such as "stop eating fast food" and "work out." Their likelihood of succeeding without "Hand holding" might increase if they received inspiration, knowledge, and motivation. Joe's DVD is about $20. That's a good deal.

  • @jlang13 I do more then just tell them that, every week they get nutritional facts about food, new articles that come out, every day i send them a text talk to them ask them whats going on, i also take the one who looses the most weight out for a nice healthy lunch i do more then just tell them "stop eating fast food" and my revenue is the last thing on my mind and its cheap, and any one can inspire any one to do anything, like i said people just need some one next to them to help them out

  • the best thing is that after a while of doing this you really see processed food for the junk it is. I used to love junk food. I hate it now. My health is better, my moods are better, and Im only doing 2 juices a day. I still eat. but i eat healthier now. p.s. I had a liver infection that lasted over 6 months. No medicine would get rid of it. I have not had any effects since doing the juice diet 5 weeks ago (cross fingers)

  • Excellent documentary! I highly recommend it to EVERYONE!!! It could save your life.

  • i have just seen this movie and it's amazing!!!way better than super size me!!

  • Im not a big girl, I have some fat around my waist, but thats not my problem...

    I drink too much coke, and I eat too much junk.

    I dont sleep so much, and Im always sick.

    I started having these juices once a day, 3 days ago.

    I replace one meal... I plan on doing this forever...not only that... since Im not replacing all meals, coca cola has got to go!

  • as much as I liked the movie, can't help but know its an ad for a Australian company that makes juicers - Breville

  • @loopba Documentaries like this need funding from SOMEWHERE...better than being an ad for some terrible company.

  • This is one of the best documentaries I've seen in a long, long time.

  • @dman-good for you, mate!

  • I started Aug 4th. After I watched this on Netflix. Today is day 8 with no exercise and I'm 16lbs lighter. Part of day 3 sucked, cranky, depressed and tried. Day 4 I woke up earlier then I ever have and feeling great. I'm doing 30 days added some cardio to the mix.

  • End of week two - lost 22 lbs. 78 to go. Would have lost more but I ate too much protein and drank too much fruit - extra sugar and fat I don't need. Feel great - knee surgery from Nov. healing better, rash all over cleared up, energy, motivation, clothes not tight, already look better. And motivating others.

  • @taylorkimtaylor just eat high fat, low carb, moderate protein. food can come from meat, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and oils... avoid bread/pastas...

  • @mjm2005 "just eat high FAT". What? are you serious? the fat you eat is the fat you wear. The reason this guy lost weight is because he was eating low fat, low protein. Most of his calories came from Carbs in the fruit and veggies he was juicing. Stay away from the oils and nuts. Just fruit and veggies guys. Read the book "the China Study' then read "the 80 10 10 diet" by Dr Doug Greham.

  • @bigamejames1 say that to the four inches I just had taken in on my jeans...which I bought in january.

    until then... yes, high fat, moderate protein, low carb. it sounds more ridiculous than it is...i just eat a lot of meat and vegetables cooked in animal fat. and i prefer it oh so much to some silly green shake for every meal... eating like that certainly would not have boosted my testosterone as much as my way has... (and kept my cholesterol low) as per my bloodwork 2 weeks ago

  • @bigamejames1 Also, there was a calorie restriction study done recently. Each group only ate 1000 calories a day. One group ate carbs, the next protein, the last fat. Read that again... 1000 calories per day.

    Guess what happened? The carbs group GAINED weight, the protein group lost a bit, and the fat group lost THE MOST. I don't know about you, but I sometimes eat 1000+ calories PER MEAL, so that would never work for me. Good luck though brah, maybe you'll find enlightenment soon. ;)

  • @mjm2005 can you share the link to the study please? I'd like to have a read, sounds interesting.

  • @bigamejames1 yeah sure...but by no means am i recommending you eat only 1000 calories a day. it was discussed in tim ferriss's book "four hour work week" among others... it's called the kekwick/pawan study.

    honestly, id look into more of a paleo or primal way of eating. you can google those... (or google marks daily apple... or robb wolf).

  • @bigamejames1 and oops... by recently, i meant it's been discussed recently...it was done in the 50s.  not that it impacts it's validity.

  • I thought this would be super hard and I would feel crappy all the time but I have been on the fast for four days and lost 9 pounds!!!! That is the honest to God's truth and I feel great. I changed one thing to make it a little easier. I eat a banana in the morning and fruit Juice mixed with all types of fruit and then Mean Green juice at lunch and afternoon a little more. For dinner some steamed vegetables with nothing on it and more mean green. I have not been hungry, dizzy or tired at all.

  • I'm going to reboot friday wish me luck!

  • Hi Guys! love your film and have been on the detox juicing 15 days now, my fibromyalgia symptoms are vastly improved!!! Down 8 lbs too. Can't help but wonder about all the nutrients I was missing thru the years. Good luck everyone juicing :)

  • Ive gone from 220 to 195 in 20 days Thanks I feel better too

    Got more to go and Im never hungry

  • Inspiring!...;)

  • The wife, me and my oldest daughter watched this documentary. I'm 80 lbs overweight, the wife is 100. Daughter is really pretty close to a hardbody. She's just doing the 15 day cleanse. I've weighed in twice and lost a total of 17 lbs in two weeks. My wife lost 14. It's not bad. I really haven't suffered. Giving up the coffee was the hardest. Week three on saturday. I know I've lost quite a bit more. I'm starting to see it. My wife too. This works and it's harmless.

  • I am not fat and I never thought I would juice. Now I have a juicer and I juice. The movie really made the case for juicing. Join the movement. Start juicing and start feeling better!

  • So how did the first guy lose all the weight, by juicing for 60 days?

  • Watched my 12 year old Rat Terrier die of a heart attack two weeks ago and it drove home just how real death is. So fast forward to three days ago and I'm at the Dr office for som skin issues and the put me on the scale before see the Dr and I tip the scale at 313 lbs. I get sent off to the little room and while i am waiting I start looking at Netflix on my iPad and Netflix suggest this film "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. I start watching and with the first 5 min I see myself

  • @BOOYAAUSA Get Juicing it works and fast :-)

  • Awesome and congratulations Joe Cross!!!!! Can't wait to watch the whole movie! Have been preaching raw health benefits/no SAD for 20 years! I haven't been sick in 15 years! No colds, no flus, no, headaches, no sinus, no congestion, nothing, nada - just great health physically and mentally!!!! It all has to do with our foods folks.

  • Just watched the movie. Was great and I'm so happy for all of you! I am doing it differently ( low carb and running) but I love the change in my energy levels and thinking. Good luck to all of you who are trying the reboot. Good on ya!!

  • Day 6 for me - lost 10 pounds thus far!

  • Hi Guys, sorry for the late response to a lot of the great questions and comments here. We have a very small team and are digging out from a ton of wonderful outreach. About the EMBEDDING issue: YouTube has flagged this video for some reason and are preventing it from being embedded. We are working on that. Be sure to join us at JoinTheReboot (dot) com!

  • Looks amazing!

  • I saw it on Netflix last night and it's such a heart felt and inspiring documentary. I very rarely get moved by watching radical weight loss shows but this struck a chord with me. I shall have to do the challenge in improve my life and those around me.

  • Why would you not allow people to embed this video? You don't want people sharing it with their friends?? STUPID!!

  • @papatoony

    You Tube is blocking the embedding not Joe..

  • Lost 7 lbs in 3 days, and had poison-ivy like rash clear up on day 2.

  • Saw on Netflix and begging my friends to all see it. 12 are coming over Thursday night to see it, drink juice (and eat meatloaf and mashed potatoes - had to get them over some way!).

  • Love the movie, buy it for a loved one and watch it with them

  • Accidentally came across the movie last night on Netflix. Started to watch it, didn't stop until 3am this morning. At 9 am, ordered my juicer. At 3pm today, went to Costco and bought all the stuff I will need for when the Juicer arrives on Tuesday. Everything in this movie is common sense and basic knowledge...however we don't listen to our own intellect. Movie is a great kick in the butt. I hope I can keep this going for the 15 days I have committed to this...I hope the word spreads.

  • Comment removed

  • Joe: "I'm on a juice fast."  Ribeye-eating Texan: "A what?"

    LOL!!

  • hahaha the accent is so aussie <3

  • AMAZING VIDEO and I'm off to a 6 week cleanse folks!!

  • Wow, I love to see other people who have come to realize that our food industry is about profit & not our well being! Thks so much for this video now that I've seen the clip Im off to buy it!

  • I call this a kick in the pants motivator. What a great inspirational film!!!

  • Does anyone know the brand of juicer used in the film?

  • @OrenjiOrange Breville

  • I'm a little confused, I joined and took the assessment and was given the 15 day method, but it includes cooking meals? It seemed in the documentary they were juicing for all meals of the day? For up to months at a time? Even looking at the 5 day method includes cooking meals? Are the actual meals an alternative to juicing for a day? Can juice only be used everyday for all meals in that day/week/month?

  • @KingBonacci Green juice as much as you want for months at a time. No cooked food, just green juice.

  • movie is so motivating! I'm doing diet now it know nd hes 100% how much better i and all the weight lost feels great..

  • One fat ass doesn't like the truth.

  • amazing movie

  • This documentary was amazing and changed my life i bought a juicer and alot of veggies and fruit. Today was my first day.

  • What do they do for fibre if they're only drinking

    the juice from veggies?

  • @isitabirdnoitsaplane the body is just fine for a period of time without fiber. that's what makes juice feasting so powerful, you give your digestive system a break from having to break up fiber, starches, and other solid molecular structures and feed your body unusually high amounts of enzymes, phytonutrients, amino acids, alkalizing salts and other elements that help with detox. this wakes up the rest of your body and tells it to get to work on some major healing.

  • @benjorgensen1 thanks for taking the time to respond, i appreciate it!

  • i saw this movie about 2 weeks ago on netflix, it was really amazing. i have actually decided to go get a juicer today from kmart and hopefully by friday i can go shopping for fruits and veggies. im gonna try this diet and jogging for 1 month and if i see real results like some of the people in the movie, i will continue this diet intil i lose between 50 - 80 pounds. hopefully if i lose my goal weight i will be motivated to lose more.

  • I just saw the movie. It is life changing, I recommended it to everyone !

  • gosh, 10:30pm. I wish it was tomorrow already so I can go to Sam's Club to get bulk fruits and vegetables!!

  • gosh, 10:30pm. I wish it was tomorrow already so I can go to Sam's Town to get bulk fruits and vegetables!!

  • everyone watch dan mcdonald!!! the liferegenerator and ull see how to really heal yourself!

  • Just watched the documentary, man I tell ya, it was very inspirational. I am going to get a juicer and veggies right after I am done typing this.

  • only problem is that if we ever figure out whats really going on the govt freaks wont like it and they will do crazy shit like chemtrails and lowering standards for organic food/fertilizer/approving more toxic pesticides etc. but thats more of an advanced thought. for now drink up!

  • Great movie that really inspired me. Started my juice fast today :)

  • @nibbs42 Do you know where i can find the diet? I just can't seem to find it anywhere online.
