Pickles on Atkins?

I am doing Atkins and I am eating A LOT of pickles. Is this ok? I can't find anyything about it in the Atkins book or the website.

I think 1 pickle is 1 carb.

Check the back of the jar. I kind of remember looking at it and thinking 'wow thats a lot of carbs' and putting the jar back in the fridge. I think it was something like 3 carbs for 4 pickle chips. I also think it depends what kind of pickels.

Just be careful with the sodium. Most pickles are high in sodium and you might retain water.

A coworker used to roll cheese and coldcuts around a pickle as lunch. I think a few a day are probably fine.
