He wanted to get off medication as he believed that the medication or doctors were not able to offer a cure for his condition.〔 In 2005, when he was 40, the doctors told him that with his health, he would die early and he decided to consume only juice for 60 days in order to improve his health.〔 Under the supervision of his doctor and a team that monitored his blood work regularly, he started the juice fast in May 2005. For his juice fast, he decided to travel across America while talking to people about their attitudes toward food. He travelled in a truck with a cameraman, a sound guy, a juicer and a generator. Cross survived on nothing but juices for 60 days during his juice fast.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Joe Cross: From fat and nearly dead to fit and drop-dead dashing )〕 He used an 80/20 rule, according to which, he used 80 per cent vegetables and 20 per cent fruit in the juice that he made,〔 to avoid getting too much sugar into his system.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead' filmmaker to speak in East Hampton )〕 Cross used a special juice that he prepared called the Mean Green Juice - a mixture of kale, apples, lemon, cucumber, celery and ginger. However, he kept changing the fruits and vegetables used in the juice to ensure he consumed different plants and vegetables.〔 According to Cross, the first three to five days, he felt groggy and unstable. However, after consuming only juice for five days, he started feeling well both physically and mentally.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Joe Cross on his "unbelievable" juicing diet )〕 After 49 days, he lost 67 pounds, his total cholesterol dropped from 204 to 135 and his LDL cholesterol went from 132 to 86.
