Yes, tofu is low carb.
Seriously though, this low carb, Atkins thing is very unhealthy. Please consult a qualified nutritionist and eat properly. Ketosis is bad for the body.

“Ketosis is a toxic effect and that’s why you have the rapid weight loss, because your body is purging a lot of water to get the toxins out — up 10 pounds initially,” says Toronto food-trends expert Dana McCauley. “It’s not a meaningful weight loss, and it’s very hard on your body.” By cutting out an entire food group, experts warn, you’re forgoing essential nutrients such as fibre, iron, B vitamins and folic acid. What’s more, according to industry group Dietitians of Canada, low-carb dieters tend to eat high-fat, high-cholesterol foods, which in turn increases their risk of heart and kidney diseases, bone mineral loss, high blood pressure and gout — not to mention bad breath, constipation, fatigue and headaches.
… and then you gain it all back the first time you eat a potato chip.
Low carb diets really aren’t good for you. If you’re looking to lose weight, tofu and veggies is a good way to do it, but not because it is low carb.
