Unsupersize Me

Has great content that's worth watching even though it's probably one of the worst produced movies you'll ever see on a streaming service. Basically it's just a home movie shot by an phone but it's a fun story and shows what a huge impact a whole foods plant based diet and exercise can have on health.

I would say watch all the other documentaries first like Forks over Knives, Game Changers, Eating you Alive, What the Health, etc. This doesn't have a lot of info about the science just a little sprinkled in here and there with Barnard and Campbell interviewed quickly. It's probably better to watch as reinforcement or support for people looking to lose weight or just improve their health of what is possible.

This is an excellent documentary covering the health benefits of exercise paired with a plant-based whole foods diet. Highly informative!

The documentary follows a subject from their typical Western lifestyle--largely sedentary, fueled by processed foods--through their health transformation caused by adopting moderate exercise and consuming a fiber-rich diet comprised of largely unprocessed or minimally processed fruits, grain, and vegetables.

I've been following these principles myself over the course of the last year, and have nearly reversed my Type 2 diabetes, been able to reduce my daily beta blocker dosage, and have lost approximately 71 pounds. Highly recommended!

While "Unsupersize Me" won't win any awards for production values, this indie film is a must-see for anyone suffering from obesity or lifestyle related diseases like high cholesterol, blood pressure, atherosclerosis, cancer, etc. Asse shows that diet and moderate exercise can result in stunning results in a short time.

While I enjoyed the film for what it is, it would have massively benefited from a tighter edit. This is a homegrown style of documentary that once would have sold in the DVD section of health-food stores. These days, docs of this variety just don't quite cut it, but the message stands the test of time at least.

While "Unsupersie Me" was just barely tolerable production-wise, I have a feeling that the upcoming follow-up "Unsupersize Us" will be lightyears better, just based on the trailers. Regardless, put your pickiness aside and give this a watch to see just how profoundly a few simple lifestyle changes can improve your health over the course of a year.

Why the hate? Sure this is a humble and modest film yet it tells a great story that many can benefit from! Tracy is a morbidly obese woman in her late 20's and through hard work and dedication she is able to shed over 200 pounds by going whole foods and working out daily. This is a message that is applicable to many and perhaps by watching this film they will be inspired to take action. Go forth brothers and sister. Great things can be yours!

Extremely realistic plant based documentary that really follows aspect of what it is like to completely change your life and completely transform. Any overweight person can relate to Tracy's trials and tribulations and will be inspired by her impressive and amazing results. Also what the viewer will love is how it doesn't seem to be impossible to do. She isn't starving herself. On the contrary, she eats as much as she wants... as long as it's plant based. I also like that she does cardio and strength training as well..That is also an important part of transforming and being at your best self. I highly recommend this movie, it will give you hope and the formula to escape the extra pounds that hold you back..
