Losing to win the race
Ruqaiya held a "Great Loss" program for her overweight patients. The key to succeeding? Using the Airfryer. The winner lost 22 kilos in three months.
I decided to change my lifestyle to a healthy one because I became very overweight. I lost 40kgs by cutting out unhealthy foods and replacing them with healthy foods."

So, as part of a unique experiment, Saudi medical professionals gave her a Philips Airfryer, along with other patients suffering from high blood pressure or diabetes, to see if using the Philips Airfryer could help her lose weight. The Airfryer uses innovative Rapid Air Technology so that 80% less fat* is used to cook dishes like French fries and traditional fried snacks – but with remarkably similar results. Nutritious recipes, inspired by a clever and meaningful kitchen tool such as the Airfryer, can transform the health of both kitchen novices and those who think of themselves as culinary experts.

72% of Saudis are obese. The combination of fried foods and limited exercise is mostly to blame.
In 2010, the Philips' Airfyer XL was especially designed for this region as a response to public feedback. The original 800g capacity version simply didn’t cater to the average sized, extended families. Now, the XL version has 1.2kg capacity and is 50% larger than the original.
