Things You'll Need:

• Library Card

1. Go to the Library. Check out any number of low carb diet and cook books for free from your local library. Most of the techniques for low carb dieting are very straight forward and can be easily remembered without writing them down. Test a few recipes from the cook book and write down the ones that work on recipe cards.

2. Visit a used book store. If you found a great low carb book at your library and want to get your own copy, don't pay full price! Check out a used book store for cheap low carb dieting books - or go to Amazon.com and search for used copies there.

3. Check out the internet for more tips and recipes. You'll find many recipe sites and forums dedicated to low carb dieting. You'll find new information and ideas from real people really doing the diet.

4. Don't do steak all the time! Beef isn't the only low carb food. Fish and chicken are also great low carb entrees. Try pan fried tilapia with a crushed peanut coating, grilled chicken on a salad, or tuna fish on celery. There are many options for cheap low carb eats!

5. Eat your breakfast at home. Low carb meal replacement bars might look convenient for your lunch box, but they can be pricy. Instead, try to get your breakfast taken care of at home. It takes only a few minutes to poach an egg in the microwave!
