Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead is an inspiring film that chronicles Joe’s personal mission to regain his health while traveling across America, juicer in tow, and inspiring others to do the same. He also get’s to help some other people regain their health as well.

Here is what one customer had to say about this DVD: “The film is about Joe Cross, a businessman from Australia who’s health was absolutely in shambles. He had a rare autoimmune disease and was in regular pain and had to take multiple medications to counteract the symptoms. He finally decided enough time was already wasted on treating symptoms and he wanted to treat the cause. He decided to take a 60 day tour of the US (30 in NYC and 30 spread throughout the rest of the country) to reboot his body and immune system with nothing but raw vegetables in juice form.

Joe’s story alone was moving enough, but in Arizona Joe met Phil, a truck driver with the same autoimmune disease and even heaver than Joe had ever been. This is really the point where the story took a fantastic turn. Joe realized this film isn’t just about him becoming healthy, its about educating people to how important simple nutrients are.

I highly recommend seeing this film. Even if you don’t follow Joe’s methods for juicing and rebooting, it still creates a great drive to be more conscious of the quality of fuel we put in our bodies every day. “

If you want to try juicing but don't want to spend a lot of money, then the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Juice Extractor might be the one for you. It performs the task of extracting juice from whole fruits, vegetables, citrus fruits and tomatoes with efficiency and speed.

Here is what one happy customer had to say about this juicer: "I do not think there is anything this thing can not juice! I love the idea of throwing whole foods into it (fits a whole apple) and provides a tremendous amout of juice. I even got his thing to juice raw broccoli (which is kinda yucky by the way). Really strong motor absolutly destroys foods put into it and produces really dry pulp which tells me it is really working. You can even add a grocery bag to the pulp bin to make clean up even easier. Everything comes apart easily (and goes back together easy) and is dishwasher safe."

The Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain is a counter top machine with an extra wide feeder chute so you don’t have to cut up your vegetables and fruit as much. It has a powerful stainless steel cutting disc for fast results and a large capacity pulp collector. Most parts can go into the dishwasher.

Another owner proudly stated that they “have been juicing for over a decade and this is the best machine I have used“.

Whenever you start a new program it is always a good idea to have a goal. This way you will know if you are successful or not and if there is anything you have to modify in order to reach your goal. The goal could be for how long you wish to stay on the juice fast or it could be the amount of weight you want to reduce.

If you plan on starting a juice fast you need to decide for how long you will stay on the fast. If this is your first time on a juice fast, you should plan on giving it a go for at least one week. This will not only give your body a chance to detox, but it will help reduce your appetite. You also might find that you have a sharper sense of taste.

Once you have decided on how long you want to stay on the juice fast you will need to set up a shopping list based on the recipes you will be using. In order to be successful with this plan you will need to have all the fresh vegetables and fruits you will need in order to make your juice.

In order to maintain your energy level and not get hungry, you should be having a juice (between 16 and 32 ounces) at least four times a day. If you do feel hungry, have a juice. As well you will want to drink lots of water throughout the day. This will help to cleanse your digestive system. Also, you won't feel as hungry. Often we are thirsty and not hungry!

One way to make this enjoyable is to prep your vegetables and fruits. Organize your fridge and have everything read will not only save you some time, but you won't be frustrated when it comes to making your juice. Get some baggies and just cut up everything you will need for one drink and add the ingredients to the baggie.
