Dr. Atkins' New Carbohydrate Gram Counter

Rating:
Summary: I found it helpful
Review: I am just starting this, so I am in the Induction Diet and I found the carbohydrate gram counter very helpful. It may not have everything in here but it has most of the things you eat on an everyday basis. It is just a helper to go along with The New Diet Revelution. Use it as that if you decide to purchase it.

Summary: portable, but not in-depth
Review: This book (more a pamphlet) is very portable, but it doesn't provide in-depth carbohydrate, fat, and protein counting. Most of the information I read is right off product labels. For example, I can read the egg carton to know the numbers for eggs, but what about calculating grams for yokes and whites separately?

Summary: great and portable
Review: very small - but filled with almost every product you can think of - take it with me everywhere - just wish some things didn't have so many darn carbs! I'm still trying to not go over 30 grams per day but it can be difficult.

Summary: Not very good for the money.....
Review: This book was a big disappointment... not nearly enough information. There are several much better informative books (at the same price or less) Shop for something else..

Summary: Waste of Time.
Review: This should only be sold in the supermarket check-out lanes for 99¢, like other mini-books. You can tell just as much from reading the nutrition labels on the products that you buy. Some of the information doesn't seem to agree with that on the packages themselves. Which should I believe? Just using it is a "guide" I guess, then it's useful, but I wouldn't know if I'd feel 100% confident in it's usage for a complete detailed factual information. It's easy to follow and eas to find the item you may be looking for, but there is alot of of "staple" foods that isn't listed.

Summary: A great tool for implementing the Atkins diet.
Review: I purchased two carb counter books and found the other, more extensive book to be difficult to use. This simple, little book contains most ingredients used in recipes. It is a great tool in helping to create good meals while keeping within the limits of the Atkins Diet.

Summary: Lower Carbohydrate Eating for Weight Loss and Health
Review: As the author of the first "insulin-conscious" gourmet cookbook ("The Gourmet Prescription: High Flavor Recipes for Lower Carbohydrate Diets"), I'm 100% behind the carbohydrate information explosion. The serious consequences of our 10-year carbohydrate orgy (epidemics of obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes), make this book a necessary resource. A great life, however, requires more than a gram counter. We need FLAVOR as well as information-- and that's where "The Gourmet Prescription" comes in. All of the recipes are about intensifying flavor as well as lowering carbohydrates. It's a food lover's antidote to our carbohydrate binge and a great companion to any lower carbohydrate diet.

Summary: GET THE BOOK
Review: I am litterally going out to buy the book now. I saw my girlfriend at a concert last night and couldn't believe how awesome she looked. I asked her how and she it's all about Atkins. GET THE BOOK

Summary: worth a try
Review: Though I have not yet read this book I'm on my way out to get it. A woman I met through work found out about Dr. Atkins from her father. He has lost 70lbs so far. The woman has lost 29.5lbs in a month. Dangerous? I thought maybe but she has a lot more to go and says the weight loss is starting to slow down to a more even pace. I was very excited when I heard about this new way of life and eating. I've read other comments and can't wait to see how my results will be. Wish me luck and I do the same for every one else.
