Thanks for your documentary. It inspired me to lose weight during covid. I lost about 80 pounds during the year. I went from 244 to 165.

Thanks joe, you've saved my life. I was 316 LBS. I'm now 295 LBS. My goal is to get to 190 LBS by 2015. You really have to change your diet to loss weight and exercise. It's amazing, my wife is loving the change, and she has now joined me on my journey. All three of my boys are juicing as well.

Joe cross documentary was truly inspirational ;I lost 65 pounds

I watched it and was very inspired so i shared it with my elder and wife from church and he started on sept 6,2013 and has already lost 23lbs.....he started at 315 he could not breathe, could not tie his own shoes, and his allergies are slowly going away. i also advised him to ask his doctor to monitor him, because he is on alot of meds. Now he is walking better and able to do all the above things. Thank you Mr. Cross for your documentary.

Thanks Joe for all the great work and inspiration to people be safe!!

I saw the documentary last weekend and I'm starting my reboot next month and I even have a friend that is going to try it.. It's time to take back our lives and this is the way to do it..

I've lost about 30lbs doing juicing for about 6 months. I wasn't JUST juicing, I proportioned my meals. Now I nearly avoid ALL foods w/HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP and any food that is labeled (as much as I can cause it's hard) and in almost 3 weeks I lost about 10lbs. I work out, mainly cardio and some muscle training. Drink lots of water/take vitamins. I can finally run for long periods of time and have lots of energy! I use the recipe and add other greens and fruits! Hope this testimony helped!:)

Same with my mom who is turning 90 next year. She eats everything in moderation - even grew up eating margarine! That didn't kill her or me either. Of course, we stopped eating margarine years ago, but our bodies adapt.

I have been eating 1 meal a day and drinking juice 3 - 4 times a day… for type 2 diabetes I was on 2000 mg. of metformin and 5 mg of glipizide daily and within a week I cut the metformin to 1000 mg and I cut the glipizide out altogether. 1 meal a day of chicken or fish and vegetables. I have dropped 10 pounds in two weeks- this is a perminant change… no bread, no red meat, no processed food period. I am planting a garden in the back yard.... I think I'm hooked on greens!!

I like how they cut out the beginning of the into from FSND where he talks about wanting to get off the all the meds pharmaceutical companies profit from.

I'm on day 5 and 13lbs lost. I never lost this much weight so fast. Day 2-3 I was depressed, moody, and had a migraine. Day 4 I felt a boost of energy and felt light footed clear thinking. I'm going 30 days.

In one picture he looks slim and trim, in another he looks flabby - the way one would look after losing so much weight.

thanks!!!

Because the juicer takes out the pulp, do you have to up your fiber supplements (Metamucil, etc) while on this diet? Thanks.

just got my juicer today. trying this recipe. it looks really good. thanks for sharing it!

For the purpose of doing the reboot, is there a difference between juicing using an extractor and blending/emulsifying using a Vitamix or Blendtec?

Question: Why not the pulp of the veggies and fruit? I heard that that is where the nutrients are and the fiber.

On Joe's website, he recommends running the pulp through the machine for a second pass to get that remaining juice. Also, the pulp can be saved and added to other recipes or used to make vegetable broth. Those tips reduce a lot of waste.

So proud of you Joe!!! xoxoxo

It worked while I was on it…. My life is in turmoil right now (new job, working on a BA, starting an MPA) and I failed to stay on the “program.” I don’t know if I would do a 60 day fast…. What I did was a modified re-boot. And Joe says the fasting re-boot isn’t for everyone… THE IMPORTANT THING is this…. Your diet should be mostly vegetable matter…

does anyone know the recipe for the juice in this show? i know beets, carrots, apples, ginger, lemon but how much of each?

Very useful to know I always mix my greens with fruits as is but still never thought of it that way.

I was wondering whatever happened to Jay, the Juiceman. I still have his juicer I bought over ten years ago. He sold out to some big company, I forget which one, and you don't even see it anymore. They sell the Breville at Bed, Bath & Beyond now.

After watching this documentary I am inspired too, but I'm wondering how many juices you should drink a day. Can you drink as many as you want? They don't say anywhere in the video. Even though I probably only need to lose ten to 15 lbs, I would like to see if this can get rid of my Rheumatoid Arthritis.

They didn't have much to say about natural healing.. but atleast they made an impact on all the audience with the free juicer and joe's film.

And how have things gone so far?

Has it helped your hives though? I tried just juicing a few times, but only made it a day or two and the ones with fruit tend to flare me up more. So I've been eating as much veggies as possible, a little meat, some fruit for about 3 weeks. Mine have been better, but I'm still getting them every day. So wanted to know how it's been effecting yours. His took I think 5 months to calm down from what I read. He told me it was 6 months til he was off of meds for them (I asked him on his FB).

Joe is a very good looking man...damn.

There are some minor food combining rules (really that suggests fruits only with fruits and veggies only with veggies ... but some say they can mix no problem) but basically juice whatever you want and figure out what tastes best to you and what makes you feel best.

His video inspired me to do something different and healthy. I have lost 10 pounds the first week and another 5 the following week.The energy level you get from juicing is 100 times better than red bull or monster or 5 hour energy. Unbelievable!!!! Try to keep it organic.

I have re-started a couple of times... down 15 pounds, and it can be tough to keep the vegi / fruit ratio at 80/20. I love the juice, I caught the flu in the middle and had to have some chicken soup, BUT, here is the good part, I now wake up in the morning with a blood sugar of @ 110 instead of 180. THAT is a result of the juice... I an down from 2000mg to 1000 mg of metformin and 5 mg of glipizide. My fiancée is also on this and we both feel great...

Keep it up! Don't stop

Hey did u exercise during your juice fast? I did a month juice fast and only lost 25lbs. I walked on my treadmill but it varied from week to week, day to day. Great job on your weight loss! Congrats! It seemed like on the last week my body plateaued and I only lost 2-3lbs that week.

Actually when I had my first glass of green juice I never thought I would end up saying it, but I love green juice … even without much fruit sweetener … it's great.

excellent! he inspired me too. i have more energy too. and i do feel thinner but honestly, i was too scared to see what i weighed. i will go by size only

weather ?

What happened to his nose in the after shot? I hope the juice fast didnt make it like that.

how did the reboot go?

I'm starting the organic natural juice "cleanse" and even though I'm not overweight, I have had lots of joint and other body pains. I can already see a huge difference, just from drinking natural fresh juice! I got a terrible candida yeast infection from drinking processed "100% natural fruit juice" that had been processed and turned into fructose sugar. Same goes for processed orange juice. Now it's all completely organic and fresh made every two or three days. Works! It's a miracle, really. I use a Champion masticating juicer, although a Breville is used on the show.

Love YOU Joe Cross

Dang! I wish I could have been there! It would have been great to thank Joe for doing F,S & ND, it changed my...no saved my life!! Oh, and I would have loved to get a decent (free) juicer too...

I was told I have uticaria, and Dyshidrotic Eczema, and both have fairly subsided due in part to using ONLY soaps that are unsented, and the use of Clobetasol Propionate ointment (.05%). I am off of Zertec, which was perscribed for the uticaria. I don't have hives, and the only time I did have hives was when something brushed up against my skin... that subsided before juicing, and I atribute that to using unsented soap, including laundry and hand soap and unsented body soap.

You posted this a month ago ... how have you gone with the first 30 days?

And Charlotte Gerson...I like the fact that you and I, people like us...give respect to the progenitors in this approach to health.

No you don't have to use recipes if you know what you're doing. You can put together any combination of fruits and veggies. The biggest problem would be taste, but any tasteless combination can be "rescued" by adding apples and/or carrots, or any thing with a sweeter flavor. Try it!!

Buy a $99 nutribullet. Keeps the pulp in but makes it 100% liquid and it keeps your fiber.

I wonder of this would help with my anxiety and panic attacks, ive heard changing ones diet helps substancially ,

Hey, where's my Breville Juicer lol

no one have to do the juice only!! but for those who do not like veggies is a great idea to get their nutrient. don't you think???

No discussion how any doctor asked of this diet would (generally) encourage their patient NOT to do it (as i have experienced). When the patients are healthier than their physicians, it's time to rethink medicine (never mind that mcdonalds is now IN many hospitals!).

Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels so drink up and if you have to chase it with water all the better. Your future self will thank you.

fiber makes you full and you get less nutrient density, by juicing you can drink more and get more dense micro-nutrients that will help you detox and heal

Funny, Jay Kordich has been teaching this for over 60 years. He still juices everyday and is very healthy and on Facebook and actually answers questions too!

Oh all those lucky people got that juicer :( I I bet less than 1/2 will use and I'm in need! I bought a cheap on from SAMs and had to exchange it out already once cause its not made for everyday use. Plus I feel I'm losing juice in the wet pulp. All the produce is expensive I need to get the most out of it. Joe if you see this thanks for the inspiration I'm doing the best I can with what I got and I know it's a 100 times better than what I was doing to my body before! Thanks again

she's a nice young lady. i'm happy she came up to the stage. stand up and be counted, honey!

Breville sponsored the movie, but Joe has always been very open and honest about that. Almost all movies and a lot of documentaries use product placement and endorsements to finance the project - watch "the greatest movie ever sold" by Morgan Spurlock on that.

@DCRugger320 You are right, but we have to give them credit to stand there with Joe and endorse his movie and the benefits of this type of life style!

@DCRugger320 - I agree with u! I've been taking my maintenance drug for hypertension for over ten years but I am not cured. When I started to become a vegetarian, I am healed. Praise God for the fruits and veggies!

the happiest day of my life is when i was on a thirty eight day juice fast.seems i couldn't keep my mouth from smiling. i believe that every cell in my body was rejoicing with new life constantly coming into it. after i came off the fast a few day later i tried drinking a coke and threw up. my body was rejecting all impure invaisions. can't beat the jucie diet for a period of time.in fact this is my tenth day of a juice fast.the last time i fasted on juice only was twenty years ago.

About "Fat Sick and Nearly Dead" and "Fork Over Knives" - I'm from the England and I know we can watch these films on the net but how can I own a version that is compatible to the UK?

No, he's not. Did you see the before and after pictures???

the documentary is on Netflix and is very inspiring, im starting my reboot in 2 weeks. im extra siced!!!!!

He had to use something, right?! So, he probably used the best juicer out there at the moment. He was juicing for two months straight. He never promoted buying this juicer on his documentary, but now his name is all over the product at Bed, Bath & Beyond. I already own a juicer, otherwise I probably would have bought the Breville, if I had the money.

How many are you supposed to have a day?

Wow!! Everyone in the audience got a free juicer. That’s a major hurdle for a lot of people wanting to start a juice cleanse. The cheapest model of Breville juicer that was used in the movie costs $150!

Day 17 and you've lost 27lbs? Wow, congratulations!!! And thanks for the fiber info. :-)

I wish i couldve been there to get that breville juicer and a copy of FS&ND. They are lucky

Know what you mean! Did it for about 2-3 weeks and it did wonders, my thinking got a lot clearer, although I had headaches, mild ones, but the doozie was - I started to smell everything as they were. It was not pleasant at all. You smelled what people were eating, and if by chance they were eating Chinese food - you could smell the spices on the food and if the meat was rotten or not. In many cases the meat was rotten and the spices was there to cover the smell of the rotted meat but I could clearly smell both while the person would be chomping away without a care in the world. I would break out in a cold sweat and have to move away, because it smelled awful. I was also able tolerate extremely cold weather.

'The Doctors'... Are they even doctors? Was I wrong for expecting some medical analysis of juice fasting?

i weighed 242-243 and in bout 2 weeks im down 10 pounds and loosing more . its not that bad, i have more eneregy and my thinking has become more positive and i feel so much beeter. and to be honest when you go number 2, alot more comes out :)

The primary lesson here is to CONSUME MORE PLANT MATTER. Find a supermarket that has a great selection of organic produce, and start juicing 2 - 3 times a day, eat salads and maybe some chicken or wild caught fish. in a week or so, and it’s like someone turns the lights on. I could't believe how in tune with my senses I became. So yes, it does work, you just have to be committed to it. Like a smoker deciding to quit, it takes commitment. Stop the junk food, and eat from the garden.

To all of you who poo poo this- You just do not understand what the message is. I am 53 y/o, I have Uticaria, I am type 2, and this man echoes exactly how I feel. This is the first time I have heard someone say what I have been saying for years, I am addicted to carbohydrates. My Dr. just smiles when I say that… I am 6’2 and weigh 320 lbs. but I do a 13 mile bike ride in an hour and a half… I started the reboot today…

Mother nature intended for us to drink it. Mother nature also sprouted this juicer right out of the ground. I think eating the vegetable would make less of a mess.

So true ❤

Candy, No use in arguing with brain dead trolls. They hate to see anyone succeeding and helping people. They will always try to bring people down to their lowly state filled with negativity & hate. They live their lives trying to prove everyone wrong & themselves right. They deserve our compassion & prayers because they are truly sad, tormented people.

OK, thanks. Mine seem to be from anything that stressed my body too much, weather it be a person who's a pain in the bum, too much sun, too cold, too much lemon, being too hot for too long.

Nope, there's actually two types of fiber in vegetables and fruit. Soluble and Insoluble. We often associate fiber with the insoluble part of fruits and veggies, but in juice like that we still get the necessary fiber to survive in the form of soluble fiber. I've watched the documentary and started fasting, I'm on day 17 and I've lost 27lbs. The biggest challenge is recognizing the difference between a hunger (time for juice) and a craving (stay strong) and keeping control of yourself.

without Joe Cross Phil Staples would have neer been the star!!!! This documentary made me cry, esp the end when Phil was wearing the shirt!!!!!!!!!!!

what ive learned is leafy greens aren't considered veggies there considered weeds so they juice ok w fruits

I wish I could take home a free Breville juicer----jealous!! Started juicing this week though, bought a Champion from a friend of a friend.

Did it work for you?

@dman71215 the negative symptoms were a healing crisis from detoxifying..sometimes people get worst before they get better but keep it up and you do get better When I became a vegan, and started eating 50% raw, exercising daily and eating whole food as well as doing a long juice fast, there was a lifting like a fog and I could think clearer oh and when juice fasting orgasms are super intense too

In the documentary you see video footage of him with his old body, in trunks. So yeah, it was what he looked like, no photoshop.

Joe was monitored by Doctor Joel Fuhrman M.D. a physician who specializes in preventing and reversing disease through nutritional and natural methods. My previous comments were reflective of the typical M.D. who has very little nutritional training. Dr. Fuhrman clearly is head & shoulders above them when it comes to nutritional knowledge. Anyway...sorry for the previous comment. Cheers!

I agree with both of you.

Yes because mother nature intended us to use juicers and blenders.

also then explain what you THINK is a healthy diet towards weightloss (of course working out ie walking, jogging ect ect) but what foods would you THINK would be better since you think this is all BS

@dtadeo2006 @dtadeo2006 Phil is an inspiration. When they showed him running when “new sensation” was playing I was so motivated.

@MrClarkkent2001 I'vebeen on a 30 & a 50 days juice fast..doctor got very mad when I did the 50 day 1 as Im diabetic.it was the only time my glucose readings were completely normal the whole time-felt great..lost weight..when I became a vegan nearly three years ago & then ate meat several times in December meat & cheese made me feel really horrible..sluggish and lethargic and when I checked my blood sugar it leaped every time to 375 to 450. Drs says no juice & yes to meat..wth?

@tweeder1280 Awesome. Good luck and hang in there; the first few days can be the most difficult. I just finished a 42 day (six weeks) vegetable juice fast a few days ago and I feel fantastic. I lost about 30 pounds as well!

Well actualy Joe Cross's video has been shown in Australia. Maybe you can tell me what Joe Cross tried to sell you on the show apart from fresh fruit and veg and a juicer, he did name Breville but you can juice with any juicer and get results. If you want a really good juicer get a masticating juicer but it will cost 2 to 3 times as much. All Joe is saying is it worked for him and his friends. I'm willing to have a go, my juicer cost $60.00 on ebay and the veg is reasonably cheap locally.

6 Kale Leaves 1 Cucumber 4 Celery Stalks 2 Green Apples 1/2 Lemon 1 piece of ginger

THE IMPORTANT THING is this…. Your diet should be mostly vegetable matter… I felt absolutely awesome when I drank fruit juice in the AM and vegi juice 3-4 times iin the afternoon and ate a salad and fish / chicken for dinner. My skin, even my hair felt great… my hearing and my eyesight felt more attuned…. I FELT AWESOME!!! So YES it did work….

HIS DVD IS THE MOST INSPIRING WEIGHT LOSS DVD IVE EVER SEEN ITS MAKING ME CHANGE MY LIFE AND I FEEL SO GREAT I TURNED DOWN PIZZA,POP TARTS, CHILI DOGS THIS WEEKEND AND I LOVE THOSE THINGS IM DOWN 10 POUNDS AND STILL CRUZING, JUST TREAT FAST FOOD LIKE POISON

Great movie

Wheat may be a plant, but they way most of us get it is in a refined processed form called flour. White flour creates most of the bread we eat and the second you ingest that bread it becomes a sugar, which is not healthy. Complex carbs such as vegetables are much healthier and won't make you fat. As an example, the coca plant has many great properties and health benefits if we use it as tea, but if you refine that down you get cocaine. It's the refining properties that make it unhealthy.

Virginia, 4 to 6 - 16 ounce to 20 ounce glasses of juice a day. Plus plenty of water. If you get hungry, just drink some more juice, it won't hurt you. Good luck and Juice On!!

@bluemystic7502 Medical doctors are experts in healthcare. They take nearly all the courses nutritionists do, and then some. My close friend is a nutritionist, and I'm currently going through medical school. There's a huge difference, but good doctors will know a LOT about nutrition and how to eat a diet specific to you.

@GIRLINA101 @GIRLINA101 yes there is..you want to use a juicer -vitamixes are great for green smoothies, soups etc but not good for juice fasting as they contain the pulp.also some think it the vitamix oxidizes the juice.. If one uses even nonorganic produce but does not consume the pulp it is as organic as the juices are locked safe inside the poison laden

I'm assuming your a vegetarian or vegan.. Whatever works for you is great but I'm not going to stop consuming dairy or meat. I plan on doing the veg and fruit fast for like 10 days but after that I want my chicken and milk back. Last time I checked calcium and protein actually help the body. I might be eating half a plate of veg but I want at least some meat or sweet potatoes or something to change the flavours up so I don't get bored of the healthy lifestyle.
