Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead Extended Trailer

http://www.fatsickandnearlydead.com/

100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Joe Cross is at the end of his rope and the end of his hope. In the mirror he saw a 310lb man whose gut was bigger than a beach ball and a path laid out before him that wouldn't end well- with one foot already in the grave, the other wasn't far behind. FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD is an inspiring film that chronicles Joe's personal mission to regain his health. With doctors and conventional medicines unable to help long-term, Joe turns to the only option left, the body's ability to heal itself. He trades in the junk food and hits the road with juicer and generator in tow, vowing only to drink fresh fruit and vegetable juice for the next 60 days. Across 3,000 miles Joe has one goal in mind: To get off his pills and achieve a balanced lifestyle. While talking to more than 500 Americans about food, health and longevity, it's at a truck stop in Arizona where Joe meets a truck driver who suffers from the same rare condition. Phil Staples is morbidly obese weighing in at 429 lbs; a cheeseburger away from a heart-attack. As Joe is recovering his health, Phil begins his own epic journey to get well. What emerges is nothing short of amazing - an inspiring tale of healing and human connection. Part road trip, part self-help manifesto, FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD defies the traditional documentary format to present an unconventional and uplifting story of two men from different worlds who each realize that the only person who can save them is themselves.

I like the movie im making a change in my life. Im 16 and 321 pounds ive lost 20 to 25 pounds from exercise and eating right. I completely cut out junk food

Juice only? How do you get your fiber, your healthy fats, your lean protein? Not to mention that no one will be able to keep up with a strict 'diet' for long. A lifestyle change and diet are too very different things. I've lost 55 lbs the old fashioned way - gradually substituting unhealthy foods for unprocessed whole foods and gradually increasing my exercise. Crash diets don't work. There's a 95% rate for regaining the lost weight.

theres different types of juicers, one slow juicer actually keps all fibers and everything, and if you juice avocado and tuff you also get healthy fats, a lot of protein is in a lot of vegetables and legumes too

It's really unhealthy not to have any carbohydrates, technically your brain won't work properly, and you'll be depressed...

Dunny, you have made the first big step when you decided that "you" would do it, no one can do it but you. you see what Joe did. he was 430 pounds and he lost 91 pounds in 2 months. I suggest getting some of your friends to do the reboot too. the more encouragement you have the more you will want to do it.so do 1 day at a time and remember to drink a lot of filtered water.2 cups as soon as you get up. also the more apple cider vinegar you can drink the better,mixed with water+grapefruit juice..

being fat actually affects your emotions due to an unchemical unbalance, fyi!
