Common questions about weight loss and fitness programs websites
Can I say "lose 30 pounds in 30 days" on my website?
Only if you have competent and reliable scientific evidence (well-controlled human clinical studies) proving that claim. The FTC requires substantiation for specific weight loss claims. Unsubstantiated claims can result in multi-million-dollar enforcement actions.
Do I need disclaimers on before/after photos?
Yes. The FTC requires that before/after photos represent actual customers with truthful results. If results shown are not typical, you must disclose what typical results actually are with equal prominence.
