Dr. Atkins' New Carbohydrate Gram Counter

I highly recommend this little book. It has a few thousand product listings and car counts. It certainly makes it very easy for restaurant dining or cooking at home. The book breaks things down very simply by restaurants and their recipes. Calculating the carbs correctly. But there’s plenty of categories For those individuals who are cooking at home so that you can calculate correctly what you are putting in your mouth. Well, this is designed for weight loss. I honestly believe that there is not a diabetic on the planet that should not have a copy of this book is that good to scale this book A 10

Well explains all issues. Clear and concise language. Fair price.

This Carbohydrate Gram Counter is thin and small. It is smaller than I expected, but it still has the carbohydrate information. And it would make a nice resource that fits in your purse or bag.

Perfect size, easily travels for people on go.

I used the Atkins diet to lose weight when I was in my 30s and it worked!Did I gain the weight back? Hell yes!I am 80 now and want to lose some weight again.So lets talk about Diets for a second.There are diets tailored to help lose weight (as in the Atkins diet), and there are diets tailored to help you eat healthier (as in the Candida Diet) that I have reviewed previouslyBoth of these diets are wonderful and they WORK!I lost weight on the Atkins Diet AND I felt well too.I felt well on the Candida Diet AND I lost weight on it too.(I have reviewed this diet too, if you are inclined to read it)The Atkins Diet works because: A.) Most of us eat more than we need and the excess energy that results is stored on our body as fat. B.) It takes Carbohydrates to break down Protein and turn it into energy. C.) When our Carbohydrates intake is too low, your body gets the Carbohydrates it needs from the fat it has stored for just such an occasion.(a lose analogy might be when you put gas in your car during a 500 mile trip, the gas in the tank is turned into energy and used every day during that trip but in the city the gas we have put in the tank is stored there until we need it)This little book defines food items in terms of grams of Carbohydrate per oz and is essential on the Atkins diet.My take away from MY life experiences with my diets is:1.) Processed foods are generally bad for weight loss and maybe your health .2.) Fast foods are bad for your weight and probably your health too!3.) Anything you eat out of a bag off the market shelf is bad for your health AND bad for weight.4.) Unfortunately, the more affordable the food is, the worse it is for your health and weight.5.) Eat small portions, choose what you eat AND balance that with how active you are during your normal day.6.) Eat higher quality foods, if you can, try to stay away from beef, chicken and turkey (the logistics for providing those to market are a horror story).7.) Diet (I love Diet Pepsi) AND sugar loaded drinks, bad for everything!If you can find your way through the 7 items above, during your life, you wont need to exercise you brains out at any specific age.My perception runs contrary to the popular idea of exercise, exercise, exercise because your body NEEDS it?I think our bodies are designed to TOLERATE exercise and a certain amount of abuse (except maybe in certain genetic inheritances)Bottom line:The Atkins Diet works and works well, the question is: after you get off of it (or any diet) will you resume your "normal" eating habits? If so, you will simply be headed right back to where you were before so think about an "exit" strategy.........what will it be?

This kindle edition is just as bad as the reviews say, but still useful for very basic lookups. I generally buy kindle because of a vision problem as I don't know how big paperback print will be until I receive it. When I look up a carb count I am only looking for the net and if you figure that is always the third column over you are ok. If the kindle content truly reflects the content of the atkins carb counter, that is a sad comment in itself. For a really good comprehensive nutritional count I would recommend Corrine Netzer's nutritional guide (not certain of title), which is a little fat book, which I unfortunately can no longer read.

I wish it had more food products

So small, everything so short and understandable are for me. I just love it!!! Of course very useful!!!!

I had one before but misplaced it. I love this guide so much I had to get another one.

I am happy to have it 😊.It is good enough for me.

Old edition pocket book only.Not updated. Not worth the price. Useless.

I did the Atkins Diet almost a decade ago very strictly and lost 12kg in about 4 months. Thanks to this book, I became well informed about what NOT to eat and have never regained the weight. Some things it doesn't tell you though, like if you do the diet properly you will need to eat psyllium husks to keep everything moving and vitamins to keep from catching colds. This is a useful reference book for those who are serious about loosing weight the Atkins way.

Easy to keep with you in purse or car. Helps to have a quick reference at your fingertips. We bought 2. One for my husband to take back and forth to work with him.
