So it’s a great way to move that dial, and as that happens, your body starts to return to its natural healthy state.
I believe that juicing is a great way to supercharge your body with the incredible nutrients found in whole plant foods – and the volume you’re able to take in when juicing is far more than you would be able to eat. The typical American plate is only 5% fruit and veggies. My goal is to encourage people to move the dial and increase their consumption of vegetables and fruits. I believe that consuming vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans and seeds can have a radically positive effect on your health and wellbeing. I absolutely have the occasional indulgence (for example, I love chocolate ice cream) but I balance that by doing a juice-only Reboot every 8 to 10 weeks for a few days, and I find it sets me right back on track. I eat mostly vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans and seeds, augmented with fish or whole grains. And after those 60 days, the thought of my old “favorites” – burgers, pizza, Coca Cola and the like – wasn’t appealing in the slightest. The experience reset my palate and gave me an appreciation for how delicious whole plant-foods are.īefore my Reboot, I could not imagine craving something like an apple, or a kale salad. So it’s been a busy two years!īut the most exciting thing is that every single day I get emails from people who are losing weight, getting off medication and feeling happier because they're Rebooting, and that gets me excited to keep spreading our message.ĭid the extreme approach you took in the film (going on an all-juice fast for two months) make it difficult to transition to a regular eating plan?Īctually, my 60 days of juicing made it easy to transition to a regular eating plan. And I’m getting ready to hit the road and take Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead and the Reboot message to Canada, Europe, Russia, China and Southeast Asia. I’m in the process of finishing up my second film, which will be released this fall.
