    I watched it a couple of years ago and it is very inspirational because he loses weight which helps him get off of his medication for the autoimmune disease he has. He does juicing, which is controversial because you are drinking your calories and a lot of people don't agree with it because you are likely to gain the weight back once you start eating actual food again. Some people do juicing to jump start their weight loss. I have considered it but never have tried it, and I got a juicer at a rummage sale last summer. I was told by others who have done juicing that they can't make it last longer than a couple of days because they said you are REALLY hungry doing it. I may try it just to replace like one meal sometimes. The guy on the documentary just loses a lot of weight and changes his whole lifestyle, which is an inspiring story to say the least.

    thanks for recommending it, I watched it this weekend. To me, the real hero is the truck driver he just happens to meet at a truck stop... now THAT GUY really changes his life! I am not sure I could do juicing, I would be too hungry. I need to fill my stomach with salad, etc... hopefully my stomach is gettign smaller... :-)

    You don't have to JUST drink juice. Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead changed my life! I figured out that what I hate the most about fruits and veggies is mostly the texture. No problem with the juice. Most of the juices I make I don't like but I can drink them down fast like a medicine and get my nutrition. I make one juice a day for a snack and now that my body is getting the nutrition it's been screaming for I'm just not as hungry. 75 pounds down! (45 to go)

    It's a really long infomercial. For juicers.

    @fat2fit4good when you juice or use a Nurtibullet you are full from what you have.

    @mnsmileys I had the same problem when I juice but what I found out really quickly are 3 things that chance the flavor 1) Ginger 2) Pineapple 3) Berries.

    If you like any of those 3 just make sure there's enough to effect flavor. Ginger is the most powerful flavor changer and I love it but even I can't have too much.

    I don't. It's an informercial disguised as a documentary. You don't need to juice to lose weight. Just stop eating so much damn food.

    There's always someone willing to part with their money.

    My cousin and her husband watched this and did it for about 2-3 weeks. They lost about 20 pounds (both were about 300 # each). In that time, they had nausea, diarrhea, lethargy, and migraines. The day they gave it up, they went out and ate 2-3 weeks of calories in solid food in about 3 hours.

    That was about 4 years ago. They are still 300# each.

    From what I read juicing is not that good. They say (and everyone knows 'they' are always right) that by taking the fiber out in the juicing process the body had a harder time controlling the sugars. The fiber aides in balancing blood sugar during digestion. If anyone has done more research on this topic I would appreciate hearing their thoughts.

    What is it about?

    Its about a guy with a really cool blender and he travels around with this really cool blender, blending stuff and this blender is awesome.

    I think its a really long infomercial about his blender! I only watched the the first 10 minutes and was distracted by how awesome his blender was, then went online to see where I could buy one!

    Also - blendings okay to have as part of a diet, but its not very nice to have as your whole diet - although if you do have it as your whole diet, you get to use your awesome blender loads!

    I found Ironman pretty inspirational too, but it doesn't mean I'm going to build the suit.

    It's an enchanted money-making blender. Wish I had found it first though :/
