In addition, she will also appear in online, TV and print marketing campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I near a milestone birthday, I don\u2019t want to take my health for granted any longer,&#8221; said Osbourne. &#8220;I\u2019ve struggled with my weight for years, and I wanted a diet plan that would ensure I\u2019d look and feel great. After looking at other weight-loss plans, I realized that Atkins is the best plan for me because my body \u2013 like many women my age \u2013 doesn\u2019t process sugar and refined carbs well.&#8221;<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Though the partnership was just announced, Osbourne has already begun her new diet and has reportedly lost 11 pounds in just two weeks. &#8220;I never feel hungry because I\u2019m able to eat satisfying, filling food including many of my favorites,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I hope to be an inspiration to others, especially those who have battled with weight-loss and are looking for a plan that is effective, healthy and doesn\u2019t make you give up delicious foods!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to bolstering their brand, Atkins is treating the new partnership as an opportunity to <strong><a title=\"carbs are confusing\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/05\/carbs-are-confusing-why-atkins-is-to-blame\/\">clear up any misconceptions<\/a><\/strong> that the diet stresses high protein and <em>no-carb<\/em> as a means of weight loss. Instead, the company hopes they can teach people to find their &#8220;personal carb balance,&#8221; as part of establishing a long-term, well balanced diet approach.<\/p>\n<p>Chief executive officer of\u00a0Atkins Nutritionals, Inc., Monty Sharma, is thrilled to have Osbourne on board as she will certainly bring a surge of energy and excitement to the Atkins brand. &#8220;She is a well-known and admired individual, who has conquered many of life&#8217;s challenges,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We expect she will serve as tremendous inspiration to others looking to lose or maintain their weight and live healthier lives.
