Hey Fat Flush Gal
If you don't mind feeling hungry (I have kinda gotten to where I can ignor hunger pains somewhat) you can surely use the Whey. I had to switch to the whey because the body protien did not agree with me. I think most of us understand the budget issues and we all just do the best we can with what we can afford. That said, the program works well and you will be amazed at how good you feel if you stick with it

I found the shakedown easier since I hate to cook...
I say go for it!!
