Courtney Thorne-Smith Says Get off the Diet Roller Coaster

Courtney Thorne-Smith, who never looked like she needed to lose weight, has apparently been on the Atkins diet for 11 years. Personally, we think she looked better in her curvier days but we won’t complain.

Nope. We’ll just share with you that Thorne-Smith is in a new campaign for Atkins Nutritional. The very standard-looking spot, created by LeeReedy, has Thorne-Smith telling us about the difficulties of dieting and why the Atkins diet is a better way to maintain a healthy eating lifestyle.

The 30-second spot will run on 56 cable networks, including A&E, ESPN, Food, Hallmark, OWN, others. It’s supplemented by print in Better Homes & Gardens, Shape, Family Circle, Men’s Journal, Us Weekly, People, and by online banners and point-of-purchase advertising.
