June 07, 2010 // Franchising.com // Montreal, Québec. — Jenny Craig, Inc., one of the world's leading authorities on weight management, announces the launch of its scientifically-proven program in Québec with a new celebrity spokesperson, Sonia Benezra.

Benezra, a critically acclaimed actress and television personality, has lost 18 pounds* since starting the Jenny Craig program on March 22nd and is committed to achieving her weight loss goal of 30 pounds*. "Although my 25-year career has been successful, my weight battle has not. For me, losing weight has been a life-long struggle. I want to look and feel great in my clothes, as well as maintain my health and Jenny Craig is the perfect program to help me reach my goal," says Benezra.

"Our holistic Food-Body-Mind approach is based on the three pillars of portion-controlled, nutritionally balanced food, increased physical activity and long-term behavior change" explains Elizabeth Frank, Vice President and Canadian Country Business Manager of Jenny Craig. "Our strength is the one-on-one personal consulting: we tailor a program based on individual needs and support our clients to achieve their weight loss goals."

As a global leader in weight loss, Jenny Craig is proud to launch the home delivery approach in Québec, allowing clients to conduct their consultations over the phone, in French or in English, and have their menu items delivered directly to their homes. "What makes the difference for me is the support of my personal Jenny Craig consultant. She helps me tailor my menu each week around my very hectic schedule and my food is shipped right to my door," raves Benezra. "I love that I don't have to think about what I am going to eat, my portion sizes, or even count calories. And, I still get to eat burgers and chocolate cake! You know how much I love chocolate!"

Sonia will be the face and voice of Jenny Craig in their new advertising campaign for Québec, which includes broadcast commercials and print advertising and a Québec Web micro site.

"We're thrilled to bring Jenny Craig to Québec and welcome Sonia as a part of the Jenny Craig team," concludes Frank.
