Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead + Breville Juicer Giveaway

With an emphasis on “going green” and eating organic foods, many people are trying to turn their life around and make healthier choices. I personally like to use home grown or organic fruits and veggies to make the juice that my kids drink. Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead has made me realize more than ever that I am the only advocate to keep my family healthy. With the help from a Breville Juicer, I will be able to quickly and easily make juice for home or while on vacations this summer!

Drink to your health. Get into the world of juicing with this no-nonsense dual-speed juice fountain. The Dual speed motor allows you to juice hard fruits and vegetables such as apples and beets on high speed by spinning the filter at 12,000 RPM. Low speed is optimal for softer fruits and leafy green vegetables such as cantaloupe and spinach. The Juice Fountain Plus cutting disc is so powerful that pineapple can be juiced in large chunks with the rind on. This updated model includes an improved 1 liter juice jug with froth separator and an overload protection LED to protect the motor.Easy, lightning-quick operation and simple clean-up.

• Countertop juicing machine with extra-wide 3-inch feeder chute
• 850-watt dual-speed motor; powerful stainless-steel cutting disc for fast results
• Safety locking arm; overload protection LED; large-capacity pulp collector

If you’re looking for a little extra motivation, I suggest watching Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead.

Synopsis:

100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Joe Cross is at the end of his rope. In the mirror he saw a 310lb man whose gut was bigger than a beach ball and a path laid out before him that wouldnʼt end well— with one foot already in the grave, the other wasnʼt far behind. FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD is an inspiring film that chronicles Joeʼs personal mission to regain his health.

With doctors and conventional medicines unable to help long term, Joe turns to the only option left, the bodyʼs 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 get healthy.

While talking to more than 500 Americans about food, health and longevity, itʼs 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. He is 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.
