Video Description

How long can you go without food? Three days? A week? How about two months? While following Kenny on his personal quest to overcome obesity through 55 days of hunger, "Facing the Fat" highlights some staggering statistics about the global obesity epidemic: • Over 30% of children in the U.S. are either overweight or at risk of becoming overweight • In Europe, the overweight population has risen from 10% to 40% • In Africa, it's estimated that more than 30% of women and 25% of men are overweight This is not just America’s problem. The World Health Organization believes that obesity is slowly surpassing smoking as the #1 preventable cause of disease in the world. Will Kenny succeed in changing his mindset to reclaim his health? ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00:00 – Intro ▷ 00:04:31 – He was thin and he is determined ▷ 00:07:00 – The extreme ▷ 00:10:13 – Preparations ▷ 00:13:10 – Stage 1: Day 1-2 | Hunger can be intense ▷ 00:21:58 – Stage 2: Day 3 -7 ▷ 00:34:31 – Stage 3: Day 8-15 ▷ 00:43:11 – Stage 4: Day 16-30 | More energy ▷ 00:50:06 – Stage 5: Day 31-33 | Improvements ▷ 01:03:53 – Day 40 | Going beyond ▷ 01:04:58 – Why is America so fat? ▷ 01:08:59 – Day 50 | Bodybuilder/Doctor ▷ 01:12:20 – Day 53 | Sonia ▷ 01:17:01 – Day 55 | Last weighing ▷ 01:21:55 – Contemplations ▷ 01:27:35 – Credits #documentary #obesity #fasting #losingweight #extremediet #fulldocumentaries #WocomoDOCS ------- Subscribe to wocomoDOCS: https://goo.gl/sBmGkp Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wocomo ------- Obesity has become one of the most overwhelming diseases in our modern society. 67% of Americans are morbidly obese, costing taxpayers nearly $99 billion every year in health related expenses. Kenny Saylors, a 32 year old filmmaker who had been thin and athletic most of his life, suddenly found himself becoming part of this growing percentage. His busy lifestyle forced him to change the way he ate and within a five-year period he watched his weight explode to over 300 pounds. After trying almost every diet known to man and attempting to change his eating habits in countless ways, he failed time and time again. Each time adding more weight than before. Kenny realized he had become a slave to junk food and that it was time to take hold, not only of his body, but of his mentality toward food before it took his life. This time he had decided to take the most extreme approach to finding his health. He ate absolutely no food for 55 consecutive days, drinking only water. All this in order to completely detoxify his body and allow his digestive system to rest and repair itself while breaking the mental and physical addiction to the chemicals and additives in the food he had been eating. Fasting is a common practice among many religions in the world today, as well as some medicinal institutions. Though the subject is certainly a matter of controversy among many in the medical field, some believe it to be of great benefit while others believe it is no more than a temporary fix to a larger problem. This documentary film will show the final evidence that will end the controversy once and for all.
