The first session of 7 days is done in a group under the supervision of a medical doctor.
Weight loss of up to 9 kg for men and 5 kg for women is guaranteed.

After the initial programme you return to a normal diet with the exception of sugar and wheat that you need to cut out of your daily diet.
According to Prof Tim Noakes from the Exercise and Sports Science Department at the University of Cape Town “the overconsumption of refined carbohydrates can be toxic for the body”.
“It has taken me 61 years to suspect that bread and cereals – the biblical staff of life – as well as rice, pasta and refined carbohydrates may not be healthy for me personally as I had always believed” he said in an article published in 2011.
He added that cereals and grains have been a staple of the human diet for only the past 20 000 years, whereas we began to eat meat perhaps 2.5 million years ago.
He discovered that protein is a potent appetite suppressant, perhaps because a too-high-protein diet is toxic to the human. As a result, low-carbohydrate diets with increase protein do not cause the frequent sensation of hunger and privation that accompany calorie-restricted, high-carbohydrate diets.
PFEP guru, Christo Strydom, well-known businessman from Bains Lodges International, is the man behind PFEP. Approximately 35 years ago he was a flying instructor and had to do a medical every six months and if he was overweigh he did not pass the medical and could not fly.
An Indian doctor, that also happened to be a pilot, gave him the recipe for a soup based eating pattern. And this is how Strydom and the other young pilots kept their weight under control.
Through the years Strydom refined the soup with fresh fruit and vegetables as well as red meat and he has managed to drop 23 kg with this eating plan.
STRYDOM dropped 23 kg and retains his weight even though he returns to a regular diet after the programme.
“Sugar and wheat are taboo and the greatest enemies of a healthy eating plan” he said.
