Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead

Anyone seen the streamable documentary on Netflix called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead? Anyone out there tried this and gotten good results? i'm curious before I try out the diet.

I saw it too, I want to try it, as soon as i get a juicer. Even the cheap ones at walmart are like 70 bucks, going to have to budge it in. Not to mention the veggies costing a lot. But worth it, I would think

It was a great documentary. This is obviously just my opinion, but anyone doing such a program should see results, the results will just vary depending on each person's body and the length of time they do it. If you have health issues and/or plan on doing it for an extended time, you should meet with your doctor to make sure they think it is okay for you, and how long they think it would be safe for you to do. I just finished a cleansing program that was six days. I feel lighter and my head feels clearer. Got rid of cravings I had as a result of food I ate while on vacation and lost six pounds. But extreme cleanses/detoxes that are maintained for a long period of time should really be monitored, even though I think a juicing fast is much healthier than a lot of stuff out there. Doing a detox or cleanse for three days or seven days is much different from doing it for a month or longer like in the documentary. If you meet with your physician and they say it's okay, make sure you get at least to day four! The first few days you are very likely to feel junky, in a fog, hungry, as your body adjusts, but it does pass. It will be worse depending on a person's current diet, like if they drink caffeine and eat a lot of processed food.If you get past it, you will reap the rewards - just check with your physician!

ok so I was really interested in this cleanse and I even went to his website and looked at the starter meal plan. And it actually looks pretty balanced and comes out to about 1200 calories. So what I dont understand is how you loose so much weight. If its all about calories in and out how are you going to loose like a lb a day?

in that case I think I will do it just for the health benefits and to "cleans" and see what happens

yeah I'll admit, every time I've gone on a diet I can lose 30-40 pretty fast. its getting through the next 30-40 that gets rough. thats with any diet I've done though and I havent tried that one.

I am in the last 30 lbs to loose range. But dont see how it will hurt to loose 5-10 lbs this way.

I watched this documentary yesterday and was inspired! I bought a Juiceman juicer from Target for $79 (if I like the program I'm going to buy Jack LaLanne's most expensive juicer online) and bought a week's worth of organic fruits and vegetables from a local food warehouse that gets produce that is picked from local farms that very morning. I started the program today and we'll see how it goes!

bump, this was on TV today here in Australia on gem - as it was raining pretty much all day here in South East QLD/Northern NSW I'm sure a lot of us Aussies were stuck indoors watching TV on yet another rainy weekend. What is it with the rain lately!!
