Companion book to the inspiring film "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead" by Joe Cross. Features Foreword by Joel Fuhrman, M.D. & Afterward by Dean Ornish, M.D.

100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Joe Cross is at the end of his rope and the end of his hope. In the mirror he saw a 310lb man whose gut was bigger than a beach ball and a path laid out before him that wouldn't end well— with one foot already in the grave, the other wasn't far behind. FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD is an inspiring film that chronicles Joe's personal mission to regain his health.

With doctors and conventional medicines unable to help long- term, Joe turns to the only option left, the body's ability to heal itself. He trades in the junk food and hits the road with juicer and generator in tow, vowing only to drink fresh fruit and vegetable juice for the next 60 days. Across 3,000 miles Joe has one goal in mind: To get off his pills and achieve a balanced lifestyle.

While talking to more than 500 Americans about food, health and longevity, it's at a truck stop in Arizona where Joe meets a truck driver who suffers from the same rare condition. Phil Staples is morbidly obese weighing in at 429 lbs; a cheeseburger away from a heart-attack. As Joe is recovering his health, Phil begins his own epic journey to get well.

What emerges is nothing short of amazing – an inspiring tale of healing and human connection.

Part road trip, part self-help manifesto, FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD defies the traditional documentary format to present an unconventional and uplifting story of two men from different worlds who each realize that the only person who can save them is themselves.

Modified Reboot Yourself Mean Green Juice Fast

If you are like me, not eating any solid foods for an extended period of time might be a little too hard to accomplish. I have created my own Modified Version of the Reboot Yourself Mean Green Juice Fast by taking a few of the by-products created during the juicing process and creating some tasty healthy solid foods to go along with the Juice Fast.

I also have added a protein drink that I call my Ultimate Weight Loss Protein Drink as a morning booster to give you some energy and also help in maintaining muscle growth druing the juice fast.

I will continue to put my progress on this page as well to keep you informed as to where I am with my own Mean Green Juice Fast. This page will be updated every few days so be sure to come back again to find out what is new.

Thanks for visiting.
