Hi Marie!
Don't be upset yet.. Let your body adjust to your new diet. Weight loss will come naturally and gradually as you go along with the program. Weigh yourself again on a Saturday morning, as Dr. Cohen suggested, and see if there's already results. You can shift to 1200 kcal on your 2nd week if you are more comfortable with that pace.

Hi betsy!
Good job on starting your adjustments early :)
If time does not permit you to have a full breakfast, you can have a light mid-morning snack. To do this, you can divide your breakfast allowance, for example, eat your dairy and fruit allowance as a snack in the morning, and then eat your starch and meat allowance as a snack in the afternoon. This strategy is to assure that you maintain the recommended calorie intake.
Yo can choose to replace yogurt with other dairy products. Check out the List of Food Equivalences under Tools > Bonus :-q
