We’re nearing the time where many people are working to get rid of the extra 15 to 20 pounds they’ve been carrying in order to look right for the summer beach season. Losing weight for this season is seen as customary and normal, but for some, there’s more to lose than just enough weight to fit into your bathing suit. Whether you’re trying to lose a few pounds or are taking drastic measures to get your health back in order, the shock-u-mentary “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” will enlighten you and give you the motivation to get your body and your overall health back in shape.

For a limited time. Breville is bringing “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” to viewers for free on YouTube. The film follows Joe Cross, a man who is overweight to the point of endangering his life:

“100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Joe Cross is at the end of his rope and the end of his hope. In the mirror he saw a 310lb man whose gut was bigger than a beach ball and a path laid out before him that wouldn’t end well— with one foot already in the grave, the other wasn’t far behind. FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD is an inspiring film that chronicles Joe’s personal mission to regain his health.”

Below is a trailer for the film. If you want to see more, you can check out the entire video by clicking here. What do you think about the film? Give your opinions in the comments section!
