fat sick and nearly dead

"Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead" is a 2010 American documentary film that chronicles the journey of Joe Cross, an Australian man who was overweight, suffering from a serious autoimmune disease, and reliant on steroids. Faced with poor health and a bleak future, Joe embarks on a 60-day juice fast across the United States, consuming only fresh fruit and vegetable juices to heal his body and lose weight. During this journey, he meets Phil Staples, a morbidly obese truck driver who also takes on a juice fast and transforms his health dramatically. The film highlights the power of self-healing through dietary change and has inspired many to consider juicing and plant-based diets for better health. It is part documentary, part inspirational story about reclaiming health through diet and lifestyle changes.
