January 23 2018 by in Movies

The Magic Pill – a documentary exploring food as medicine – is available on demand today on demand. Check your local TV provider, iTunes, Amazon VOD and others.

What if most of our modern diseases are really just symptoms of the same problem? The Magic Pill follows doctors, patients, scientists, chefs, farmers and journalists from around the globe who are combating illness through a paradigm shift in eating.

Awesome job. I've been eating keto for a year as a type 1 diabetic and feel great. My insulin requirements are down from 70 units a day to 25 (just my basil rate). My eczema has also disappeared and I'm sleeping way better.

I would love a link to great recipes to incorporate into everyday life. I already eat low carb but feel like I need that little something beyond just veggie and meat everyday.

Here is the Macademia Loaf Recipe that Sara made on the documentary, The Magic Pill.
Keto Macadamia Fat Bread Recipe from The Magic Pill keto Netflix documentary

Nutritional Values per Loaf: calories 3,183 carbs 25 (fibre 44) fat 309 protein 70

IINGREDIENTS

150g or 5.3oz Macadamia Nuts or Macadamia Butter
220g or 7.76oz Coconut Butter (also known as Manna)
6g or 0.2oz Baking Soda
3g or 0.1oz Pink Himalayan Salt
60ml or 2 fl oz Lemon Juice
5 eggs (circa 50g each)

TOOLS
Batter Bowl
Silicone Spatula
Loaf Tin
Coconut Oil Spray
Hand Mixer
High Speed Blender (to make nut butter)

This is the bread recipe we saw in The Magic Pill made by Sara. I found her original recipe on her website kosherketogenic.com but unfortunately, the website has some security issue so I decided to remake it. Took two attempts as the baking soda / ammonia smell that sometimes happens in keto baking happened here, so the amount of acid to counteract the alkaline was too little for my attempt, took the second one with twice as much lemon juice to make it work, but it's worth it and a very simple recipe.

Hi Carol & fellow seekers.
I had the same "security issue" when using Google.
I then switched to Safari and had no issues. Since Google is a gov backed platform I could not help but wonder if Sara's website is being blocked due to the possible curative info that is found there. In other words keep trying to access the site. Just food for thought

Its reassuring to know that pancakes in France are made with buckwheat flour and usually have a good cheese in their filling! Enjoy avoiding our modern wheat!

Buckwheat, unfortunatly, is not lowcarb....... I live in Britanny and I have to avoid the delicious galettes in order to stay keto.
