Hi Victoria, thanks for your reply. Per advice through chat with Jana, I started the program last Wednesday and followed the Wednesday session, thereby, i missed the meal plans for Monday and Tuesday. Is this okay? Or how will it affect the program? Is it okay also to modify a recipe or the cooking procedure but with the same ingredients? I also need to take a snack especially at late afternoons, can i have sandwich for snacks or what do you suggest?

@ nuj257nuj If you're OK with it, it shouldn't be a problem, but if you like, if I can restart your program to Monday June 17 for you.

Hi, good morning! i was supposed to start the program on monday, june 10, however i havent been able to complete my grocery for my meal plan for the week. I want to start it tomorrow , june 12 which is a wednesday, will that be okay? I may just have to adjust the calendar by converting wednesday into a monday so as to coincide with your program schedule which as i understand, always starts on a monday..

@ nuj257nuj :
1. Starting on Wednesday: it shouldn't be a problem :)
2. Just be careful when you modify a recipe, just don't use high-calorie ingredients other than the prescribed amount in the recipes: cheese, butter, oil, etc. The cooking method should also matter; frying shouldn't be an option (or only occasional). If you're modifying spices or seasonings, or if you're choosing to add more vegetables (except for potatoes), it shouldn't be a problem.
3. Snacking: Refer to your meal plan for the snack and just reserve (or eat it ahead) during the afternoon. For example, if you're supposed to have a yogurt and fruit for lunch, you don't have to eat it at lunch, but you can have it for your afternoon snack instead.
If you choose to have a sandwich, make the adjustments according to the list of food equivalences. You might have to do a few adjustments; for example, just having 1/2 cup of rice for dinner, etc.
If you need any more help on this, you can simply ask our friendly dietitians through the Personal Questions tool; they are better versed in nutrition than I am. :) But I'd be happy to help you in any way I can!
