Dr. Atkins' New Carbohydrate Gram Counter

I purchased for cousin. She loved it. I also have the book. It's very helpful helping me find the low carb choices that betterment health

Not filled with other stuff to read just list of food with carbs. It's great and small to bring with you

Atkins has always helped me eliminate the carbs. And I immediately lose the hunger and eat well. I like to try different diets like Ian Smith and Atkins so I won't plateau. And it makes it less boring so I don't lose interest. But working out is key and it helps you control your intake. So I start walking 4 to 5 miles on Saturday and Sunday mornings. I put me first before anything. I had to tell myself that out the day would be gone. Once that's out the way, I can start my life. lol. I walk and trot until I feel tired and walk again. That's how I build myself up to a consistent run. It works. and during the work week I work out three times a week and if I can't I don't feel so bad cause I put in my 10 miles over the weekend. ten miles is only and hour walk around my park, each circle is a mile. So I do four or five. I geterdone! You have to start some where. Hope this is helpful.

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 previously Both 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?

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

For me the print is too small. Need a magnifying glass . you should seel onr with this product

This nook has exceeded my expectations. I have lost almost 20 pounds of weight using tjis program. It is a well known diet plan that is proven to work. This book explains the program easily and how to continually loose weight when you reach a plateau. Good purchase, great little book that not only gives you carb counts but also fiber, protein, fat and calerie counts. Covers everything, plus good tips!

Tells all you should know about carbs

Good amount of foods that are marked

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.

Good carb counter. Great pocket size for travel. Most food groups listed in good order. Fast food listed too. Great for individuals watching sugar content. I lost 30 lb by following this little book. No exercise. Just watched my carb/sugar intake. No lie! Watch out there is natural sugar in foods and add on sugar and it’s in everything!
