Yes, but it's the older seasons.I googled something similar awhile ago but couldn't find much. This is a great topic!
to the person who said biggest loser series....is that on watch instantly? I'd love to start watching it...0 -
Spirit of the Marathon is pretty good... Non food related, quite inspirational. You may even want to run a marathon after watching it.0

I like to watch Run Fatboy Run....it's not a documentary...
but it's definitely entertaining and gets me in the mood to run0 -
Bump for later. I watched Fat Sick and Nearly Dead the other day. I plan to check out some of the others ya'll have suggested.0

Don't watch Supersize Me. It's a load of bull dung. I think we all know eating a burger, biggie fries, and a large coke is not good for you. Nevertheless, Morgan Spurlock fills the doc with misinformation, lies, exaggerations... it is a propaganda piece.
That said:
FOOD MATTERS - I have seen every food doc out there and this one is the best in my opinion.
FAT HEAD - This is the most entertaining food doc, and makes you question all that we have been taught.
FOOD INC - Also a good watch.
I have seen all of the others and wouldn't recommend any of them, mainly because they are written from a point of view and not really objective.0 -
I don't see it listed on Netflix but Pumping Iron is a great docudrama about weight lifting.

Oh bull. Supersize Me is ten times the documentary that that Fathead piece of garbage is.0 -
Fat Head
Watching this now. Great show debunking a lot of current held beliefs about fat-causing things we do.0 -
thanks for posting this topic. i want to watch some of these!0

Watch "Supersize Me" and then watch "Fat Head" and draw your own conclusions. Supersize me has no science, just shows that you gain weight by eating 5000 Calories of fast food per day like we already know. Fat Head is backed up with science and he basically goes on the same fast food diet but restricted to a reasonable daily Caloric limit and sugar-free drinks to show that it wasn't the content of the fast food that made Morgan Spurlock gain weight but the quantity of the food.0

Has anyone mentioned "lbs." ? It's the story of a 300lb man who has a heart attack and moves out to into the country to take the weight off. There's lots of family drama mixed it. It wasn't an entirely uplifting movie, but I thought it was really well done, and fairly realistic for a fictional portrayal,
