A low carb diet is free… only cost would be for the food you will eat… meat and vegetables…
The book you can find cheap at a used book store or library… you may even find it free as well…

Carbs are not bad. If all carbs were bad, all of Asia would be heavy. We are misinformed about food in order to sell products. Vegetables, grains, legumes all have carbs that will not hurt you. What you want to avoid are processed carbs, refined carbs, and just basically unnatural foods.
balance and moderation are the keys to good health; now and for the rest of your life.
Eat a wide variety of foods. If you have the same thing all the time, you have too much of one thing and not enough of everything else.
Asian cultures long ago figured out how we should be eating. Don’t go hungry! That puts your body into starvation mode, slows your metabolism, and causes your body to hold on to fat. You should aim to lose 1-3 pounds per week.
Don’t use diet pills, they are dangerous and don’t address the root problem. It was not the lack of pills that got you heavy, their addition is not the fix you need.
What you need to do is eat simple and natural foods. If you eat like the Asians, you will look like the Asians (thin); when they eat like us, they look like us (not thin). You don’t have to eat Asian food, just follow the principles that these cultures have arrived at after thousands of years of experimentation, observation, and documentation.
Eat mostly vegetables, mostly cooked (salads and cold and raw foods slow digestion and metabolism), mostly fresh and local, a little bit of meat, no dairy, simple and natural foods (more rice, less bread and pasta). The simpler the food, the more-efficiently we can digest it, hence the faster our metabolism.
Don’t worry about calories, fat, carbs, or any other component of food. In Asia, they look at the whole food. Avoid processed foods and anything labeled “diet”. Sugar substitutes slow the metabolism and increase appetite.
“The Asian Diet: simple secrets for eating right, losing weight and being well” by Bussell explains the diet and the principles.
“The Asian Diet: get slim and stay slim the Asian way” by Tran has recipes that adhere to the principles.
“The China Study” by Campbell has the science behind the principles.
Good luck. You also should get some exercise every day, and don’t always do the same exercises but mix it up. You don’t need to go to the gym, you can do push-ups, sit-ups, deep-knee bends, jumping jacks, and other calisthenics at home with no equipment. One minute is better than none, start small and work your way up.
Follow the principles of balance and moderation and you’ll be fine.
