![]() ![]() I set out to systematically lower my weight from 260 to 130, deciding on a course of juicing sessions that would take place over a 3-year stretch, with only 100% whole plant-based foods between sessions.Ĭhanging my diet to 100% whole plant-based foods was an even more important objective for me than losing weight and getting off my medications. I watched Fat Sick & Nearly Dead 3 times to absorb all the details, and I immediately bought a Breville Juicer on Craigslist as a birthday present to myself. I had found the perfect resource! My ultimate goal: eat 100% plant food and lose half my body weight Which was great, because I did not have the time to exercise either. ![]() In an interview I found online, Joe Cross confirmed that he had not been able to begin exercise until after his first 60 Day Reboot because all his time had been consumed in making the documentary. The film not only verified that green juice is nutritionally sound, but substantiated that a plant-based, whole food diet is essential to not regaining the weight you lose through juicing.
