Right? I feel like he's hit just about every buzzword there is.... Give me Paleo and I can just call it a day.

Wrong post. Oops. Stupid commenting while using the app on my phone.0 -
I just watched it and it makes a lot of sense to me. Common sense tells me that veggies and clean, non processed foods are the best to eat. This is the message I received and yes it was motivating. So thank you for posting it.0

Common sense tells me if I eat well and in moderation I'll live a healthy life. Also my doctor is pretty happy as well. No extremes or restrictive dieting.0

I agree. If the majority of my nutrients come from lean meats, veggies and fruits, I can have a glass of wine or dessert not and then:)

This is a good attitude, what I don't like is the fear mongering that goes on in these documentaries. I have a friend who eats clean avoids soda and other processed foods and she's fighting advanced cancer. Clean eating didn't save her from it. Life is going to happen to you no matter what you do.0 -

Exactly. I'm very much in favor of eating a nutritious diet, eat lots of veggies, enjoy cooking, etc.
I still hate these documentaries and don't find them inspiring at all, because they seem based on fear and bad science.
They also offend me since they seem to generalize about what we are all doing and how we got fat. Sorry, but I was a scratch cook who didn't eat fast food and liked veggies when I was gaining weight too.0 -

Preach. But the generalizing isn't what offends me.
What offends me is the inherently ugly, polarizing aspect of the "message". Separate yourself from the toxin-filled uneducated pawns of the food industry and you can be thin!
And that message is complete and utter BS because THAT is not what is at the heart of obesity. ANY type of food can be overeaten, as people like you and me have proven.

Most documentaries on food are biased and rarely give even evidence or information for both sides of the industry.
Being that I use actual science when it comes to support beliefs on this matter, I'll forego the documentary.

OP here. I'm sorry you all felt this way. I just wanted to share it because I really enjoyed it. Juicing is definitely a good way to get veggies and the people in the documentary that weren't doctors still knew a fair amount. I don't know much about Mercola but he didn't make any crazy comments, just mainly talked about veggies. I'm not saying every single thing they said is amazing, just that a lot of the guidelines they present are key to a healthy lifestyle0

Thanks for the link. It sounds idiotic. Saved me from having to google to figure out what this one was scaremongering about.
And no, pretty sure I eat food.
The documentary just discusses how so much is processed? I didn't fear like they were usig scare tactics. Just telling me that when you do low fat or low carb, that's not always the best, you NEED those nutrients, just in better forms.0 -

Please, I just meant this to be a recommendation for a documentary, I didn't want people to start arguments. We're on this journey together0

This is fair! I didn't take it to mean that though, cause I'm smart enough to know weight loss isn't that easy! But I agree, there was a bit of generalization.
