Dr. Atkins' New Carbohydrate Gram Counter has a slightly misleading name. While grams of carbohydrate are listed for various foods, there are also protein and fat grams listed for each entry. With more than 1,200 listings, including hundreds of brand-name products, this makes a handy, portable reference. It should be noted, however, that that the Gram Counter is really meant as a companion to Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution; the brief dietary information included in the introduction to the Gram Counter isn't of much use by itself.
Product Description
The companion to the New York Times best-seller.

 positive January 9, 2009

great information. I wish it came with a heavier cover, perhaps plastic, with a foldover snap or velcro fastener for easier transport in a purse. To keep mine in decent condition, I use a binder clip; but that does not protect the corners.
So Handy to Take With You December 16, 2008
Loving New Mexico (Las Cruces, NM USA)
I've been on the Atkins Diet for many years but after a number of moves I discovered that I no longer knew where my carbohydrate gram counter book was, so, I ordered a new one. Love it, love the size, it slips easily into my purse and goes where I go. It's been a great refresher course. It is not as complete as I might have liked it to be but so far I've not wanted to look up anything that wasn't there and the size is so handy.
A Handy Tool for Monitoring Net Carb Intake August 30, 2007

This pocket-size book gives basic nutritional information, including total carbs and net carbs, on hundreds of foods. Most products round the number of grams of fiber to the closest whole number (or the closest higher whole number) on their labels, but Atkins lists fractional totals of grams of net carbs and fiber. There is also a modestly-sized listing of common fast foods.
In his section on vegetables, Atkins touts the value of cruciferous vegetables, garlic, etc. (p. 84). This alone should refute the silly myth of the Atkins diet being an all-meat diet. Atkins also includes a listing of "forbidden" high glycemic-impact foods. These should be enjoyed only occasionally, in very small portions, and then only by people on Lifetime Maintenance.
Portion size is important in weight control. But many conventionally-listed portions (e. g., in oz) are hard to visualize, and recommended portions are often much smaller than most people realize. For this reason, Dr. Atkins provides visual references (pp. 19-20). For example, a 3 oz serving of meat would be the size of a small pack of cigarettes.
