All you have to do is look at the Net carb content (total carbs minus dietary fiber).
8g net carb or less - unrestricted
9g-16g net carb - restricted
17g net carb - super restricted (twice a week only)
I should say that having ONLY unrestricted isn't likely to do much good, unless you have already found that you are EXTREMELY carb sensitive (this is the exception, not the rule). The difference in carbs between restricted and unrestricted is so small that it really does not have much of an effect in most people.
