Among the cited companies is the marketer of Sensa, a product that consumers sprinkled on their food to help them lose weight, which will pay $26.5 million to settle charges of false-advertising because, according to the FTC, the company deceived consumers with unfounded weight loss claims and misleading endorsements. ( Sensa says that the settlement includes no admission of wrongful conduct.) There is little evidence that pills and supplements can help you lose a lot of weight, says Mary Engle, the director of the advertising practices division at the FTC.

It began when the companies behind the new weight-loss meds, Eisai and Vivus, approached Aetna about a collaboration, Pezalla says. Many of Aetnas self-insured health plans dont cover the drugs. The idea is to combine medication with support for workers trying to lose weight, Pezalla says.
