Watch only to learn a diet to avoid- good effort for the fast, very poor advice
1 December 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I was a bit disappointed while watching this documentary that it actually scored so highly. To have a goal of losing fat and the only vehicle you have to get there is fasting with water, is frankly irresponsible. News flash, take a look at a clinical study or ready a book on weight loss and nutrition before trying to starve away 20 years of fat in 55 days.

Spoiler

To fast for 55 days, only lose 44 pounds and claim 40 pounds was "pure fat" is so wrong. When you don't eat for an extended period of time, your body uses muscle to feed itself, not just fat. If I weighed 315 lbs and ate nothing for 2 months, I would be extremely disappointed with such a low number, horrible!

If you are reading this review, please only watch this documentary for education on how NOT to lose fat.

The fat came back shortly after the film.
