NutriMost believes so much in the power of our weight loss program that we have undertaken two separate studies. The first study is an Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel trial, and the second study is a prospective, longitudinal cohort study of the NutriMost 40-Day Weight Loss Program.
The prospective cohort analysis demonstrated that the Personalized & Supervised NutriMost 40 day weight loss program “is highly effective—10% of participants lose an average of over 45 pounds in 40 days.”
The prospective cohort analysis demonstrated that participants in the top 25% of Personalized & Supervised NutriMost 40 day weight loss program lost an average of 38.7 pounds.
“Overall average weight loss of the 40 day NutriMost program was 26.2 pounds—14.3 pounds in the first 20 days on the program.”*
Both studies demonstrated that the average user not only sustained their weight loss, but continued to lose weight after the weight loss phase of the program. The average user in the Prospective study lost over 3 lbs., while the average user of the RCT (randomized control trial) lost 1.4 lbs. after the weight loss phase of the program.
The IRB approved RCT demonstrated that participants of the non-personalized & unsupervised 40 day weight loss program safely lost an average of 6.13 pounds in the first 21 days.*

The NutriMost 40-Day Weight Loss Program also called the NutriMost 40-Day Classic program is the name given to the 65+ day program that consists of 6 Phases. NutriMost provides personal coaching and other resources over a 65+ day period of which between 40 to 45 days involve low calorie (800 calorie) and other dietary and lifestyle modifications.
Prospective Longitudinal Cohort Case Study Data comes from first-time client submitted data to a third party for tracking of daily weight loss and progress through the NutriMost weight loss programs. All results are accurately and transparently presented.
IRB Approved Randomized Controlled Trial was sponsored by NutriMost LLC and conducted by an independent contract research organization (Global Clinicals, Inc., Los Angeles, CA).

IRB APPROVED RANDOMIZED PLACEBO-CONTROLLED TRIAL |
GOALSTo assess the efficacy of the personalized & supervised 40-Day weight loss program To determine short-term weight loss sustainability of the personalized 40-day weight loss program |
GOALSTo assess the efficacy of the nonpersonalized and unsupervised 40-Day weight Loss Program To determine the safety of the 40-Day weight loss program by utilizing blood work, vitals & assessment questionnaires. To assess medium-term weight loss sustainability (2.25 months after the weight loss phase) |
PERSONALIZEDThe weight loss program was personalized and optimized for each individual user regarding both foods and supplementation |
NONPERSONALIZEDThe protocols were the same for each user. Each user was given the same list of foods and were all placed on the same 4 nutritional products. |
SUPERVISEDEach user was assigned a personal coach who had access to user’s daily weights. User could contact coach daily and would meet each week to review results and make adjustments to help coach and guide the user to success. |
UNSUPERVISEDThe user had four set meetings (including the 1st visit) with a researcher, whose job was merely to gather information and could not intervene or provide guidance or coaching. |
RESOURCES AND TOOLSThe user was given a number of resources and tools including member only user portal, which provided an abundance of resources, as well as, advanced email and text support. |
MANUALNo resources or tools were given to the user except a “generic” manual / guide. |
SAMPLE SIZEThe sample size of the study was large at 4,505 users |
SAMPLE SIZEThe sample size of the study started at 120 participants. 60 Active and 60 control. The trial ended with 36 active participants and 33 control participants. |

Conclusion
Effectiveness of the Program:
Both studies demonstrated that the NutriMost 40-Day Weight Loss Program is effective for weight loss.
Safety:
The RCT trial utilized multiple factors, including comprehensive blood work to demonstrate that the NutriMost 40-Day weight loss program resulted in safe weight loss.
Sustainability of the Weight Loss:
Both the Prospective Longitudinal Trial and the Randomized Controlled Trial demonstrated sustainability of the weight loss, with the RCT showing the weight loss continuing after the weight loss phase from day 45 to day 112. During this time the calories were substantially raised with the average person losing an additional 1.4 lbs. The Prospective trial demonstrated that during the 21 to 30 days after the weight loss phase “comparing the set point weight to the maximum of the weights reported throughout the entire maintenance period revealed an average continued weight loss of 3.1 lbs. for women and 3.3 lbs. for men. 84.2% of women and 80.0% of men had no weight gain or continued to lose weight compared to their weight set point throughout a one-month period following the last day of the weight reduction phase of the program and after a substantial increase in calories added back to diet. 95% of women and 92.1% of men maintained a weight within 2 lbs. of their set point weight.”
The results of this study indicate that the NutriMost weight loss program safely and effectively delivered weight loss results.
NutriMost has received STRONGSCIENCE Level 2 certification for efficacy and safety of its weight loss program.
