Carb count : basically you deduct the grams of fibre from the carb content to get the net carbs.
e.g. 10 grams of carbs in a cracker, 6 grams of which are fibre - net carbs are 4 grams
* Please note, this is a ficticious example!
Diet drinks are ok in moderation (I believe) although obviously water should be your drink of choice.
With regard to peanut butter and philadelphia you need to check out the carb content vs the fat content, and count the carbs of what you're having to see if they're worth it. Also remember to go for full fat versions of things as they have lower carbs.
Hope that helps

I’ve done the Atkins on and off a couple of time and I’ve always had diet drinks.
I started again on Monday and so far I’ve lost 5lb and thats with drinking approx 2 small bottles a day. I do also drink coffee with cream, black coffee and copious amounts of water.
