CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Based on a popular weight-loss plan, this application lets you log your foods and alerts you to your daily carbohydrate intake, although you can only select foods from its database. Atkins Carb Counter's colorful, appealing interface includes tabs with an Atkins diet guide, a carbohydrate log, weight-loss phase and carb intake goals you set, and a food database. The database lists more than 1,500 foods, but we couldn't find a way to add more items. We like the daily carb intake display, which shows how many grams you've consumed and how many are left based on your goals. You also can set an alarm to remind you that you've reached your limit. Unfortunately, this trial is extremely limiting; you only can use the application four times and only can set one profile. While we think weight-conscious users will like what they see, its trial doesn't allot for enough time to test its long-term usefulness.Publisher's description

Version: Atkins Carb Counter 2
"Thank heavens for this program!"
Pros: I'm getting married and am trying to keep my figure and stress levels under control. I've been a long time Atkins follower and usually do pretty good with it. I tend to fall off when I'm stressed, so I purchased this to try to avoid that during this wedding thing. So far it has been a blessing! Not only am I still maintaining where I want to be, I'm also finding that keeping count can be kind of fun. One thing I like about the Windows PC version is that the layout is so easy to look at. This is a good program for Atkins newbies or vetrans alike.

Version: Atkins Carb Counter 2
"Good deal on weightloss assistance."
Pros: If I had to do this diet without it, I would have quit already. I like how it reminds me where I stand each day. Keeps me from cheating too badly. It is easy to synchronize with my Pocket PC that I take with me to work. I really like how affordable it was, especially when I think out how much I have paid for other programs (software or clubs) that have failed.

Version: Atkins Carb Counter 2
"Very happy with this purchase."
Pros: This is a very straight forward and visually appealing program. I found it quick to install and get into. I've been using this for about a month now, and have been able to not fall off of my diet. It has made the experience pleasant and I feel really good about the progress I've made. I don't really think I could have done it on my own. I've tried before and never get past the first week. What is good about this product is that you can take it with you, and it is a friendly reminder on what you are trying to accomplish. Anyone who is trying to do an overhaul on their lifestyle must have one of these.
Cons: I only wish I had heard of this sooner.

Version: Atkins Carb Counter 2
"I love the Atkins Carb Counter!"
Pros: I've been using the Atkins Carb Counter for a couple of weeks now. It really has helped me stick to my diet this time. Unlike other carb counting programs out there, it is very straight forward and simple to use. Not only is this a quality product, but it is a little fun too! (Who thought dieting could be fun?!)
