Karien Nel is South Africa’s most trusted independent CSN consultant. She lost 37 kg at 47 on this exact programme and has coached hundreds of South Africans through it via WhatsApp since 2016. The programme works. The coaching is what makes the difference between trying it and finishing it.

What Karien’s Coaching Actually Includes
This is not a generic online coaching programme. Karien answers every message herself.
You receive the full phase-by-phase eating guide and a recipe book on day one. No guessing what to eat — it is all mapped out.
Karien contacts you daily during Phase 1 (the detox). She checks how you are doing, answers questions, and adjusts if something is off.
Send Karien a message any time during the programme. She responds same day — not after 48 hours, not via an email ticketing system.
If you hit a plateau, Karien diagnoses it and adjusts the plan. This is where most self-coached clients give up — and why coaching matters.
Karien coaches in both languages. Many of her clients heard about her through Groot FM or Groot Ontbyt and prefer to communicate in Afrikaans.
There is no separate coaching fee. You pay for your products. Karien’s coaching comes with every order placed through her directly.
Buying CSN Elsewhere vs Ordering Through Karien
The Hello Peter complaints about CSN are almost entirely from people who bought without a coach.

CSN Coaching — FAQ
-
Is Karien’s coaching really free?Yes. There is no separate coaching fee. When you order any package through Karien’s shop, the coaching is included. You pay for your CSN products — the WhatsApp coaching, phase guide, recipe book, and daily check-ins come with your order at no extra cost.
-
How does Karien coach — phone calls or WhatsApp?WhatsApp only. This is by design — WhatsApp allows Karien to respond in her own time, review your updates carefully, and give you a considered answer rather than a rushed phone call. It also creates a written record of your progress that both you and Karien can refer back to. Karien coaches in Afrikaans and English.
-
Does Karien coach outside of Pretoria?Yes. All coaching is done via WhatsApp, so Karien coaches clients nationwide — Cape Town, Durban, Bloemfontein, and everywhere in between. Products are delivered via courier. There is no geographic restriction on who Karien can coach.
-
What is the difference between Karien and Carla?Karien Nel is the owner and primary coach of Karien CSN. Carla is a team coach who supports Karien’s clients — particularly with group accountability sessions and detox camps. All new client enquiries and onboarding are handled by Karien personally. Carla operates under the Karien CSN brand and follows the same programme standards.
-
Can I do the CSN programme without any coaching?Technically yes — the eating plan and products can be followed without a coach. But the results without coaching are almost always worse. The most common Hello Peter complaints about CSN come from people who bought products without coaching and got stuck. Karien’s coaching costs you nothing extra — there is no good reason to skip it.
