The CSN Diet — What It Is, How It Works, and What to Expect

What Is the CSN Diet?

The CSN diet is a structured 6-phase, 60-day weight loss programme developed by Christo Strydom Nutrition — a South African company producing natural, plant-based supplements for over two decades. No calorie counting, no exercise requirement, and no injections.

Particularly effective for South African women 35–60 who have tried other approaches without lasting results.

The 6 Phases of the CSN Programme

Phase 1 (Days 1–10) — Detox: Full digestive reset. Most dramatic phase — average 4–8 kg loss.

Phase 2 (Days 11–20) — Protein: Metabolic momentum builds, energy improves, cravings reduce.

Phases 3–6 (Days 21–60) — Combination and Reset: Long-term metabolic reset that makes maintenance possible.

CSN Diet Food List

Phase 1: Chicken, fish, eggs, broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, cucumber, celery, lettuce, water, black coffee, green tea, CSN Detox supplements.

Phases 2–6 add: Lean red meat, cottage cheese, low-fat yoghurt, sweet potato, brown rice (limited), braai (lean cuts), pap (small portions, later phases).
