Decent Essays
Joe Cross started to eat a lot and gain a lot of weight from a side affect of his medicine to treat his Chronic Urticaria , he knew he wanted to lose and be healthy at the same time. He started to juice and went on a sixty day juice fast (nothing but juice for 60 days)! He was 310 pounds before and after he was 210 pounds! This movie is an amazing movie and I really recommend it.The movie made me feel like I need more vegetables in my diet but other than that my personal nutrition is pretty good. But nutrition in general as a country is pretty bad.

In a truck stop in Arizona, Cross, meets a man named Phil Staples. Staples , also has Chronic Urticaria but is 429 pounds.So ,Staples also does a 60 day juice fast and he ended up losing 200 pounds!The movie inspired me to start juicing too, it also inspired millions of others around the world. I discuss this movie with friends and family all the time which leads them to watch the movie.
