Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead

Has anybody watched "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead"? It is a documentary and it is streaming for free on Netflix. What an inspiration on becoming healthy AND losing weight which many people have a hard time accomplishing together. It is worth watching. Plus they have a website that is inspirational.

Thanks I will have to check that out!

I loved this document, and I am thinking of juicing for breakfast every morning!

It was incredibly awesome. The story of the truck driver (I'm sorry, I'm blanking on his name) made me tear up when I saw all of his progress. It was such a good documentary, and it was very inspirational. I've been in a food documentary kick lately, so I watched Food, Inc., Food Matters, and another documenary about a man who decided to eat fast food for a whole month and still lose weight (again, blanking on the title). Watching Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead made me more conscious about my decisions with food. I purchased my own juicer and make juice in the morning for breakfast. It's going great so far, and I'm continuing to lose weight, probably quicker than I originally intended. At least I absolutely know I'm getting all of my fruits and vegetables for the day!

Makes me want to go get a juicer!

I haven't but that is now on my list of things to do this weekend. I've watched "Heavy" on netflix and that gets my butt off the couch like nobody's business!

We watched this documentary a few weeks ago. It was pretty good. In fact, my husband went out and bought that real expensive juicer from the movie. We had already change our diet to mostly whole food, plant-based items, so this was just another way to fit in more nutrients.

By far, the best documentary out there is "Forks Over Knives". This one is a life-changer. It is still playing in some theaters, but it is now available on DVD at Amazon and on the ForksOverKnives website. I don't know when it will be available on Netflix. Everyone that I have shown the film to has asked for extra copies for all their family members. My sister saw it and she and her daughter changed their diet as well. It is so motivational that I no longer feel tempted to overeat and I am in total control. I feel so much better now and I enjoy my food so much more than I did when I was eating cheesy fatty stuff. I cannot imagine wanting to give up all the positive changes in my life since we changed our diet on June 12, 2011.

I found the lady that said it gave her the poos to be the most inspiring.

Yes that is what happened to me too! But I do make a green smoothie with my Blendtec every single morning and it gives me a crazy energy boost for the day!

I make green smoothies with my Vitamix to last me through the day at work. So yummy!

Dang! Apparently Netflix is not available in Aus yet. *kitten*!....Does anyone have any other links to this movie?

Finally sat down to watch it.. I think it was inspiring. I want to try it out.. maybe not for 60 days rightaway.. if i could do 30 i'd be happy.. heck.. if i survived 5 i think i would be celebrating

One note- i have the vita mix - which is kind of expensive- and i don't think my husband would be happy if i mentioned i wanted " another juicer " .. owners of vita mix know how that thing works - and how expensive it is..

can you do this type of " diet " with vita mix- ? i mean vita mix - does " blend " everything .. and makes great smoothies.. but you don't get that " clear " type of juice like the juicer machines.
Now.. i have learned long time ago.. that the juicers kind of take all the fiber away and leave you only the sugary- juice.. which is kind of not healthy. Vita mix - blends everything- no things left behind- so you get the fiber and the juice - no left overs.. but it's just not " juicy " it-s smoothie..

Is this goign to do the same thing ?

Anyone interested to try a challange ?

yes, I saw it about 2 months ago. It was really inspiring. Made me want to start juicing. But then I realized there is no need for me to fast strictly on juice.
