Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead
Two men whose bodies have been trashed by steroids, obesity and illness, document their rigorous healing path to regain their health.
Besides giving a review, I want to give my readers a chance to learn more. It is always good to have more than one opinion.
Internet Movie Database - Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead
Amazon.com Reviews
Whether you are a believer or skeptic in the subject matter, this story is so well told. Joe Cross comes across as such a likeable person. He is seen interviewing different people about nutrition. He just asks questions and lets them answer. He never once insults anyone or their intelligence. I would hang out and be friends with him.
The first half of this movie is Joe Cross and his journey. In the middle of the movie he meets Phil Staples. Phil and Joe both have urticarial vasculitis so they immediately bonded. The next half is Phil's journey with Joe's support. Joe was paying it forward which has always been a nice concept.
It is a touching and uplifting. It is a "feel good" movie. I liked seeing how supportive family and friends were during all this. It is available on Netflix Streaming and Amazon.com prime. You can learn more by going to the movie's websites below. I am giving Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead 4 stars.

I am more a believer than skeptic about what I saw. A 60 day juice fast scares me. I would worry about my teeth not chewing on any food for that long of a period. I will also say the testimonials of both Joe and Phil seem a little too good to be true. I do have these concerns.
This was the third time I have seen the movie. I saw it the first time in January 2012. I immediately went out a bought a juicer at Walmart. It did get good reviews and it is quiet as described. I have a picture of it below as well as the product description. I made a commitment to make my own juice which I keep telling myself “has to be better than soda”. I do have my own Green Juice which is one granny smith apple, one lemon, 4 celery sticks, a bunch of kale and a piece of ginger root the size of my thumb. Phil Staples is shown making something very similar.
I am also attaching a picture of a book I liked about juicing and fasting. I learned from Jason Vale's book the importance of eating your fruits and juicing your vegetables. Since adopting this I have lost 23 pounds in the last year.
After the above listed I created a Healthy Living Pinterest Board. Click here to view it. Most of the images I have pinned from other sources.
