The Magic Pill - Netflix Doc
Has anyone watched the Netflix doc “The Magic Pill”? It’s a doc about the Keto diet and it’s anecdotal (it even uses the term anecdotal in the opening) health benefits.

How many meals a day?
I currently eat two meals a day; lunch and dinner. I've read all the articles and been told by countless friends (who are self proclaimed health experts) that you MUST eat 5 small meals a day to really lose weight. Otherwise your body goes into "starvation mode" and your metabolism slows to crawl. Won't matter how much of…
