![]() My beloved juicer gathered dust, but I knew the name of every person at the Wendy's drive-in window. I stopped shopping for nutritious groceries, going for a swim, or calling a friend. Depression led to isolation, which led to food-processed food. ![]() Work became too much for me to handle, and little by little I started falling into my old habits. ![]() I started avoiding those well-meaning people and spending more and more time alone. Friends and family tried to snap me out of it, but they seemed to make my feelings of shame and sadness worse. Time passed and my heartbreak didn't heal-in fact, it seemed to get worse and, after a few months, set off a major depression. I couldn't believe that I was alone and divorced again. He jumped on a plane back to the States and put together a team of people who helped me lose more than 200 pounds by Rebooting, and my story made it into the movie. Finally, at a terribly low point, I called him and left a voicemail, reminding him of our meeting and asking for help.Ī few days later, Joe called me back and made good on his promise, one that he'd made to a complete stranger in a truck-stop parking lot. Well, that card stayed tucked into the visor of my truck for months. He handed me his business card and sped off onto the highway. Turns out, it didn't taste bad at all.īefore we parted company, Joe explained that he was just a regular guy-not a doctor or health expert-but that if I ever wanted to try it for myself, he would help me Reboot. He was making something he called a Mean Green, which seemed to have more fresh vegetables in it than I had eaten all year and which looked suspiciously like liquid grass.īut I was so impressed with the difference between the pictures he had shown me and the guy standing in front of me that I asked if I could try some. In all of the years I spent driving a truck, I had never seen someone with a juicer in the back and bags full of produce. He walked me over to his SUV since it was time to get his "dinner" ready. It was like looking at a different person. Turns out, we had the same autoimmune disease, in addition to struggling with our weight.īy then, Joe had been doing what he called "Rebooting" for about 40 days-drinking nothing but fresh vegetable and fruit juice-and showed me pictures of what he had looked like two months earlier. Spending all of my time alone on the road, I was tipping the scales at more than 400 pounds when I met this cheerful, friendly Australian guy in a truck-stop parking lot in Winslow, Arizona. I was driving a truck for a living when I met Joe and eating a typical trucker's diet (which is all the crap you can imagine). I just think that if they are going to put out a great app, why not go through the trouble to be sure the information is correct and make it perfect? Anyway, I recommend the app, but be cautious with your recipes, quantities when shopping, etc.Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead 2 is a sequel to Joe's first film, which followed not only his transformation from obesity and ill health but mine, too. There was also a day where there were two of the same juices made with pineapple but the recipes were only for one serving, so instead of making two batches of juice like I do every day, this day I had to make two batches of the same juice.ĭon’t get me wrong, the app is great and has done well for me. Also, there are a couple of recipes that say they make 2 servings but clearly only made one. I have made several trips to the store because the ingredients were not on the shopping list. For the most part it is correct but I made the habit of looking at recipes a day ahead of time to be sure I had the ingredients needed. Some items are missing completely and others have incorrect quantities. Good app but has flaws that could easily be fixed Note: an account is required to use the app (it’s free).
