Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead

Most of us, sadly, probably know someone who is fat, sick and/or nearly dead. Sometimes it’s ourselves. Other times it’s someone we love. Either way, it’s not good. However, Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead is here like Clark Kent in his Superman outfit to save the day. Or a few days. Or years.

This DVD/documentary is for anyone who needs to get a little healthier. Maybe someone who needs to lose a few, or a lot of pounds. Or someone who frequently visits the doctor with illnesses, conditions and to get medication.

Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead is the journey of Joe Cross, an Australian who goes to America and juices for 60 days. He’s overweight, loaded on steroids and has an autoimmune disease. This DVD shows Joe’s willpower as he drinks juice instead of eating unhealthy food, losing weight and becoming healthier as he travels across America. He eats nothing – and just juices – for 60 days. He also meets Phil, a heavier American with the same autoimmune condition. Phil ends up also starting to juice, being unhappy with his weight and life – and loses so much weight his whole life changes. By the end of the documentary they are both so healthy they don’t need any medication anymore – and both look at least ten years younger.

Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead is inspiring and educational. It’s like that white light shining down, showing you the way to a brighter, better future. At the end of the DVD I went online looking for juicers and making note to buy some kale (to go with some other fruit and veg I have here). I probably won’t make it to ten days just juicing like Joe and Phil, let alone 60 (especially when there are so many crisps in the cupboard and Tofutti cream cheese in the fridge!) – but this DVD was so inspiring that I’m at least going to have a go. If you think your lifestyle needs a kick up the ass you ought to watch this film and give it a go too. Or even if you don’t - it’s well worth watching. Probably the best film I’ve watched all year.
