Directed by Joe Cross, Kurt Engfehr
Year: 2010
What do you do when you weigh 310 pounds and are stuck with a rare autoimmune disease that requires you to take medications for the rest of your life? For Joe Cross, the choice was simple. In an effort to regain his health, he drastically changes his diet, from predominately fast food to a raw plant juice and nothing else for two months. While he spent the first month in New York, under the care of a nutrition specialist, the second half of his journey was spent traveling the United States and talking to people about their eating habits. He even convinces few of them to try his liquid diet. Highly entertaining, Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead deserves a top spot on our list of 11 best health documentaries on Netflix streaming in 2015.
