The Magic Pill is a must-see documentary for anyone who is interested in taking their health and well-being to another level. This documentary will challenge your beliefs regarding our modern ways and perhaps present the tools to you to improve your life.

Venue: Eat Play Thrive, 261 Waverley Rd, Malvern East
Tickets: $10 each – All proceeds from the night will be donated to the charity Hands Across The Water

“What if most 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. And this simple change – embracing fat as our fuel – is showing promise in improving the health of people, animals and the planet. Since the beginning of time mankind has depended on a diet consisting largely of plant based foods, fats and proteins with little to no carbohydrate. The relatively recent shift in traditional eating habits has caused a major decline in health globally. The Magic Pill investigates the stories of several patients, many of them sufferers of chronic and severe medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes and cancer, detailing their incredible recovery after switching to a low carbohydrate, high fat diet.
We look forward to enjoying an evening with you
The Magic Pill

What previous participants have said about the 6-week Low Carb Challenge:

Anne J: “Through the Low Carb Challenge, I have reduced my blood pressure and glucose levels – both are now at an all time low. I now understand my body better, when I am hungry or when I am thirsty. I have lost weight and am now at my goal weight!”

Deb H: “The 3 benefits for me from the Low Carb Challenge have been weight loss, fluid retention is gone and I’m saving on my weekly shopping bills”

Elissa O: “The low carb challenge has allowed me to gain a lot more energy; I have a new found love for cooking – I never liked cooking, tried to be healthy but it was usually bland and had more carbs than I realised. I’m loving trying new recipes and along with my husband are loving the taste and variety of the meals”

Samantha S: “I have been able to lose the baby weight & feeling more like my old self-fitting more comfortably in my old pre-maternity clothes. I have more energy which has resulted in being able to go for a jog for longer (increased intensity & duration & frequency with exercise) rather than walk. I am really enjoying new recipes & inspiration from the amazing efforts of everyone in this group! Thanks for sharing all the lovely pictures & recipes!”

Amazing prizes and awards are revealed on this evening.

What others have to say

Russell G: ” I have found it easy to stick to the plan and have not deviating from it for the six weeks. The fact that we have not done this alone but rather as a part of a group has helped to remain accountable (thank you all)”

Jennifer V: “I have reconnected to my body and developed a new self control, looking at food as a source of nourishment and enjoyment – not comfort. I have lost weight (7.5kg!) and bloating is gone. Increased energy and vitality. I am able to push myself with exercise and loving it. I am so glad I did this challenge and found a sustainable lifestyle in the process”

Kath L: “Well my blood sugar levels have gone down and I actually understand how and why. It sure beats the alternative (Insulin) which is the way I was heading.

Mandy H: “I have loved the 6 week challenge! It has allowed me to establish good eating habits, I feel great, and am very happy to have lost few kilos. Thanks Vicky and Joe for the support and all the education”

FAQ:

Q: I am not able to get into Eat Play Thrive for the workshops, am I still able to do the challenge?

A: Absolutely! The majority of our participants do the challenge from the comfort of their homes. All workshops are broadcasted live via a Private Facebook group (you will get access to this group when you join up). Workshops can therefore be viewed live or you can simply watch them at a time that is suitable for you. Communication is via email and the Facebook group and all documents are provided via online sources. Gotta love technology!

Q: I am a mum/dad and would prefer not to be making different dinners for various family members. Are recipes provided in this challenge suitable for my partner and kids?

A: The essence of what we recommend in the low carb challenge is the principle of ‘Just Eat Real Food or JERF. When selecting real food i.e. food that is available to us in nature, our diet ultimately becomes lower in carbohydrates and higher in fat and protein. It is therefore 100% safe and highly recommended that your partner and kids eat this way too. Whilst family members may choose not to stick to all of our guidelines as strictly as you, meals suggested and recipes provided are certainly suitable for the whole family to enjoy together.

Q: I understand the massive health and weight loss benefits of low carb but I love bread, rice and pasta. What do you recommend?

A: Did you know that the more carbohydrate we eat, the more carbohydrate we WANT to eat? In addition, carbohydrate actually stimulates our appetite and perpetuates a need for more. I have had many people see me one-on-one or have completed the challenge with this same predicament, only to discover that their reliance on starchy carbohydrate disappears or significantly diminishes over time. Whilst the initial week or two on the challenge/going low carb will be challenging, as you break this reliance, I can assure you that you will be pleasantly surprised at how little you miss these foods. Whilst these foods are on the banned list during the challenge, some individuals can re-introduce small amounts back into their diet without negatively impacting health or weight. The ability to do this will be determined by your level of carbohydrate tolerance. Understanding your level of carbohydrate tolerance is something we spend a lot of time discussing as part of the challenge, giving you the tools to make the right decisions for your requirements and goals.
