Federal Trade Commission Complaint Details

According to the FTC’s complaint, beginning in late 2012, NutriMost, LLC, NutriMost Doctors, LLC, and their owner Raymond Wisniewski deceptively market the NutriMost weight-loss system to consumers. The weight-loss system claims to use new technology that allows users to safely lose substantial amounts of weight – typically 20 to 40 pounds or more in 40 days – without following a restrictive diet.
